Description
The AL4301 is a serial data multiplexer and demultiplexer depending upon its configuration. As a multiplexer, the unit is used to combine several data streams into one higher speed stream for convenient data transmission or storage on a single channel recording device. The demultiplexer configuration subsequently accepts the composite data-stream and reconstructs the original channel signals. In full duplex applications, a single AL4301 chassis is used to house both the multiplexer and demultiplexer. Figure 1 illustrates a simplex configuration. However, if all of the modules shown in the drawing are contained in a single chassis and that chassis is duplicated at the opposite end of the data link, the application becomes full-duplex. In record/playback applications the independent operation of the
Multiplexer and Demultiplexer sections allow playback and read after write functionality using only one unit.
