1 Introduction

Multiplexers play a crucial role in efficiently processing transmitted and received data across various applications, particularly in the realm of ultrasonic technologies. By enabling the simultaneous collection of multiple signals, multiplexers and signal switches enhance the performance of a system while also minimizing the complexity, creating a more efficient overall system. By minimizing complexity, scalability becomes easily implemented, making this simple for systems to significantly increase the data acquisition source (often transducers) with ease. This application note includes three common uses cases where a system can benefit by integrating an ultrasound multiplexer, such as the TMUX9832.
