Abstract

In order to enhance the general purposeness of a time domain multiplexer for digital channel signals of unequal bit rates, the time domain multiplexer is constructed of a plurality of channel units which provide information signals and bit rate signals of input channel signals, a plurality of logic circuits which multiplex the information signals from the channel units, and a control circuit which selects and combines the logic circuits in accordance with the bit rate signal so as to construct a multiplexer conforming with the bit rate.
