Encoders
1. The Decimal-to-BCD Encoder
Encoder → accepts an active level on one of its inputs (decimal or octal digit) and converts
it to a coded output (BCD or binary).

EXAMPLE 8–2.1
If LOW levels appear on pins 1, 4, and 13 of the 74HC147 shown in Figure, indicate
the state of the four outputs. All other inputs are HIGH.
Solution
pin 1 → decimal 4
Pin 4 → decimal 7 (highest)
Pin 13 → decimal 3
7 = 0111
For active-LOW output,
A3 = 1, A2 = 0, A1 = 0, A0 = 0

Problems
1. An encoder essentially performs a reverse decoder function. (T/F)
2. If an octal-to-binary priority encoder has its 0, 2, 5, and 6 inputs at the
active level, the active-HIGH binary output is ------------------.
3. What are the outputs of the 74HC147 if all its inputs are LOW? If all its
inputs are HIGH?
4. (a) What is the A3 A2 A1 A0 output when LOWs are applied to pins 1 and 5
of the 74HC147?
(b) What does this output represent?
