MULTIPLEXED? I thought a multiplex was a movie theater with many screens.  I'm feeling  . |
In electronics, a multiplexer is a device that gets signal/data feeds from many different sources. It also gets an address feed that tells it which one of those signal/data feeds to pass along to the next device.
A very simple real world example would be a washing machine with only two washing temperature settings - hot and cold. If you push the "hot" address button, you get only the hot water input. Pushing the cold address button gives you the other input. The destination for each input is the same, the laundry tub. (I just can't get away from teaching, can I?)
I'm going to have to see what wikipedia is saying about this, because it doesn't sound like any multiplexer I've ever seen.
