I would like to use CD4053 for multiplexing in arduino but the problem is that I don't understand how CD4053 works, is it the same as CD4051, can someone help me, provide example code and circuit??

Have you looked at the datasheet yet? –  Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jul 16 at 0:43
    
Yeah but I really don't understand how it works –  Miguel Lorenzo Jul 16 at 9:55
    
You should tell us what you want to achieve, nit how you think it should be done. The 4053 may be a fine choice for your need - or may not be needed at all. Also - provide datasheet link to things you ask about to save need for N people to look up same thing to help you. What is the application? 4051 is a 1 of 8 bidirectional analog selector. You supply 3 address lines which can have 8 address states (000 001 010 011 ... ) and these connect 1 of 8 input / outputs to one master ouput/input. | A 4053 is 3 x SPDT switches. each switch is controlled by it's own enable lead. BUT –  Russell McMahon Jul 16 at 12:32
    
... if you do not know how a CD4053 works you cannot possibly know that you need to use one or how to do so in any meaningful way. SO tell us what you are trying to achieve. || CD 4051-53 data sheet –  Russell McMahon Jul 16 at 12:33
    
I am actually trying to add more IO pins for my arduino, so I researched and found out that I should use 4051. Then I went to my local electronic shop but they don't have 4051 instead they gave me 4053. Here is the link of the arduino tutorial: playground.arduino.cc/Learning/4051 :)) –  Miguel Lorenzo Jul 16 at 13:52
