1. What is the difference between power switches and signal switches?

The difference between power switches and signal switches is mainly the energy level they handle. Power switches are designed to carry larger currents and powers, and are usually used to directly control power supplies; while signal switches handle smaller currents and are mainly used to control logic levels or routing of small signals.
2. What are multiplexers in digital systems?

Multiplexers in digital systems use digital control signals to determine which input should be selected and passed to the output. This selection is usually based on the state of a set of binary select lines.
3. What is the difference between a decoder and a multiplexer?

The difference between a decoder and a multiplexer is that they have opposite functions. A decoder converts encoded data into the corresponding original information or performs a specific operation; while a multiplexer combines multiple signal sources into a single signal stream.
4. Is a decoder a transmitter or a receiver?

A decoder is neither a transmitter nor a receiver, but is located between the two to process received data or prepare data to be sent.
