A few recent comments on this blog have asked about bus objects. Blog reader KMR remarked that "bus objects are one of the most important parts of the whole bus concept: allowing you to lock down... read more >>

Today I present for your reading pleasure a continuation of our discussion on mux and bus signals. Last week we looked at the advanced uses of Mux Blocks. This week I want to discuss the mental... read more >>

Last week I started a discussion of mux and bus signals. Our mental model of the mux signal is a vector. The Mux and Demux Blocks can do more than just combine and break apart the elements of a... read more >>

The answer is short and sweet. A composite signal is a mux or a bus signal. These can be thought of as a collection of other component signals. The subtleties of using bus signals and mux signals are... read more >>
