Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to an implementation of a higher order multiplexer using lower order multiplexers. In an embodiment, the implementation requires a slight modification to the existing circuitry design of the lower multiplexers. A plurality of multiplexers may be coupled with each other such that a common input port and output port is formed. Using an enable signal, only one of the coupled multiplexers may be enabled at a time while the remaining multiplexers are switched off. Therefore, upon receiving a select signal indicating an address of a memory cell, the lower multiplexers coupled together function as a higher order multiplexer in selecting the appropriate column corresponding to the memory cell.
