+#### I2C multiplexing
+
+Sometimes you need to control more devices than possible with the default
+address range the device provides.
+This is possible with an I2C multiplexer e.g. TCA9548 which creates up 
+to eight channels (think of it as I2C subnets) which can use the complete 
+address range of the device. 
+
+Drawback of using a multiplexer is that it takes more administration in 
+your code e.g. which device is on which channel. 
+This will slow down the access, which must be taken into account when
+deciding which devices are on which channel.
+Also note that switching between channels will slow down other devices 
+too if they are behind the multiplexer.
