Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the concept of cascading multiplexers (MUXs) in digital circuit design. Participants explore methods and considerations for connecting multiple MUXs to create a larger multiplexer system.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks how to cascade MUXs, indicating a need for guidance on the topic.
  • Another participant suggests looking at manufacturer websites for tutorials, specifically mentioning Lucent as a resource.
  • A clarification is made that the discussion pertains to digital circuit multiplexers rather than other types, such as SDH multiplexers.
  • A participant explains that cascading involves connecting the outputs of several MUXs to the input of another MUX, resulting in a larger MUX with more selection bits, while noting that the specific implementation depends on the intended application.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the specifics of cascading MUXs, and multiple viewpoints regarding the approach and resources remain present.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks detailed specifications on the types of MUXs being referenced and does not clarify the assumptions underlying the cascading process.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in digital circuit design, particularly those looking to understand the implementation of multiplexers in larger systems.

how do you cascade MUX's??
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
SDH MUXs? The websites of leading manufacturers should give you steer; many had pretty good tutorials on this kind of thing last time I looked. Here's a Lucent link from which you may start:

usually just connect the output of several MUXs to the input of another one. You get a bigger MUX (bigger I mean with more selection bits). But of course it finally depends on what are you trying to build...
