Signal Switches, Multiplexers and Decoders

Signal Switch, Multiplexer, and Decoder ICs in the standard logic family route digital signals between multiple sources and destinations based on binary control inputs. Decoders (like the 74HC138) convert a binary address into a single active-low output, making them crucial for memory chip-select decoding; while digital multiplexers select and route one of several digital inputs to a single output line, minimizing bus wire counts.

These logic switches operate with sub-nanosecond propagation delays, facilitating ultra-high-speed signal arbitration. Selection criteria depend on logic families (LVC, HC, HCT), channel count (e.g., 2-to-4 line, 3-to-8 line decoders, or 8-to-1 muxes), propagation delay, output current drive, and package footprint availability.
