Abstract
A signal-multiplexing device according to the present embodiment has a structure that is capable of satisfactorily handling an increase in a data rate. The signal-multiplexing device includes M pre-stage buffers and an output buffer. An m-th pre-stage buffer Boutputs an m-th input signal when the signal levels of both an m-th control signal Cand an n-th control signal Cof M control signals are significant, and the m-th pre-stage buffer Benters into a high-impedance state when the signal level of at least one of the m-th control signal Cand the n-th control signal Cis non-significant. The output buffer Bsequentially outputs input signals that have been respectively outputted from the M pre-stage buffers at different timings.
