Abstract
A technique for operating a multiplexer includes selecting, from multiple transmission gate groups, a transmission gate group. A transmission gate is selected from the selected transmission gate group. Finally, a data signal associated with the selected transmission gate is provided at an output of the multiplexer.
Claims6
A method of operating a multiplexer, comprising:
- selecting, from multiple transmission gate groups, a transmission gate group by enabling respective multiple-input NAND gates associated with respective transmission gates within the selected transmission gate group;
- selecting, from the selected transmission gate group, a transmission gate;
- and
- providing, at an output of the multiplexer, a data signal associated with the selected transmission gate.
