Abstract
A multiplexor circuit for performing time-division-multiplexing comprises two or more input signal pairs comprising individual signal lines for providing timed data input into the multiplexor circuit, the pairs alternately selectable for operation, two or more select lines for selecting alternate ones of the input signal pairs during operation, one or more output lines comprising signal output of the circuit and two or more resistive output loads and associated electronic gates. When a specific input pair is not selected for output, the not-selected input pair is not directly connected to the output lines of the circuit but is instead connected to individual ones of the resistive output loads enabled by the associated gates.
