Which circuit is the opposite of an encoder?
Short answer. A decoder.
What chooses the input in a MUX?
The select lines.
Three circuits
| Circuit | In | Out |
|---|---|---|
| Encoder | one line | code |
| Decoder | code | one line |
| MUX | many + select | one |
Remember
| Encoder and decoder: opposites |
| MUX: select lines choose |
Three circuits, three jobs. Can you tell them apart? Each has one job. An encoder turns one line into a code. A decoder turns a code into one line. A MUX selects one input. Two points. Encoder and decoder are opposites. MUX selects.
