Decoder
Decoder
A decoder is a multiple-input, multiple-
output logic circuit which converts coded
inputs into coded outputs, where the input
and output codes are different.
The encoded information is presented as
n inputs producing 2^n possible outputs.
A decoder which has an n-bit binary input
code and a one activated output of 2^n
output code is called binary decoder.

Implementation of boolean
function using decoder
Encoder
An encoder is a digital circuit that performs
the inverse operation of a decoder.
An encoder has 2^n input lines and n output
lines.
In encoder the output lines generate the
binary code corresponding to the input value.
The decoded information is presented as 2^n
inputs producing n possible outputs.

Priority Encoder
A priority encoder is an encoder circuit
that includes the priority function. In
priority encoder, if two or more inputs
are equal to 1 at the same time, the
input having the highest priority will
take precedence.
