Abstract

A multiplexer selects one of a first to a fourth data signal in response to a first to a fourth pulse. The first to fourth pulses respectively correspond to the first to fourth data signals and sequentially toggle. The multiplexer includes: (1) a NAND gate that receives the first data signal, a fourth complementary data signal that is a complementary signal of the fourth data signal, and the first pulse and outputs a first gate signal and (2) a NOR gate that receives the first data signal, the fourth complementary data signal, and a first complementary pulse that is complementary to the first pulse and outputs a second gate signal. The first data signal corresponds to a rising edge of the first pulse, and the fourth complementary data signal corresponds to a rising edge of the fourth pulse.
