  • Hi Hatem ,

    I will move this into the signals and switches forum initially .
  • Hatem,

    Please look at our signal switch forum FAQs thread as there is not an electrical difference between Analog Switch and Analog Mux/DeMux. 

    I have seen the industry use the term mux for devices that can route signals to more than 4 locations like a 1:4, 1:8, 1:16 mux and use the term switch for routing signals to less than 4 locations like a SPST switch (single-pole single-throw) SPDT switch (single-pole double-throw). 

    Thank you,

    Adam
