Serial Stream Multiplexer

MediumLogic CircuitBuild

Time division multiplexing allows multiple slow devices to share a single high-speed bus. Interleaving two serial streams into one doubles the effective data rate on the output wire without requiring additional routing resources.

The circuit continuously alternates between reading a bit from stream A and a bit from stream B. The internal selection state is controlled by a synchronous active-high reset rst. When rst is 1, the internal state resets to 0. When rst is 0, the internal state toggles on each clock cycle. The output Y routes A or B continuously based on this internal state.

| rst | Current State | Next State | Y | |-------|---------------|------------|-----| | 1 | X | 0 | A | | 0 | 0 | 1 | A | | 0 | 1 | 0 | B |

Constraints

  • Implement the selection state using exactly one flip-flop.
  • Use combinational logic to route the selected input to Y.
  • The reset signal rst must be synchronous and active-high.
