Abstract
A time-division multiplexing apparatus time-division multiplexes, in units of m bits, each bit of n-channel digital signals (n is a natural number more than 2), transmitted in a serial manner in synchronous to transmission clock pulses of a frequency of f0, by using m channels (m is a natural number smaller than n). Serial signals supplied to n channels are respectively converted into m-bit signals by shift register blocks provided for the n channels. The same bit outputs of the blocks are supplied, as an n-bit signal, to corresponding one of latch blocks, and are latched in synchronous to latch pulses of a frequency of 1/m of f0. The outputs of the latch blocks are input to n : 1 selector blocks. One of the bit signals of the selector blocks is selectively output in accordance with gate pulses.
