A high-speed digital multiplexer is disclosed. The multiplexer includes a
plurality of input pins for receiving a plurality of digital input
signals and switching circuitry coupled to the input pins. The switching
circuitry has respective outputs coupled to a common node and is
operative to enable a selected one of the plurality of input pins. The
multiplexer further includes a local signal converter having a circuit
branch set to a common voltage. The branch is connected to the common
node to sense changes in current corresponding to an input signal
received by an enabled input pin. An output pin is coupled to the local
signal converter, whereby the local signal converter is operative to
produce voltage changes at the output corresponding to the sensed current
changes.
