Priority Encoder Presentation

The presentation discusses priority encoders, which are combinational logic circuits that convert active inputs into binary code while prioritizing certain inputs. Unlike normal encoders, a priority encoder outputs the highest priority active input, providing a 2-bit binary number and a valid signal. They are commonly used in digital systems like interrupt controllers and microprocessors where multiple signals may be present but only the highest-priority one should be processed.

Priority Encoder Presentation

Introduction

Assalamu Alaikum, today I'll be talking about the priority encoder. It's a type of combinational logic

circuit that converts active inputs into binary code. Unlike a normal encoder, a priority encoder works

by giving priority to certain inputs when multiple inputs are active.

Main Concept (Explanation - 1 min)

In a normal encoder, if more than one input is active at the same time, it can be confusing. A priority

encoder solves this by always selecting the input with the highest priority.

Let's say we have 4 inputs: D0, D1, D2, and D3. If both D2 and D0 are active, the output will only

consider D2, because it has a higher priority.

The output is a 2-bit binary number along with a valid signal that tells us whether any input is active

or not.

For example:

If D3 is active, the output is 11.

If D2 is active, the output is 10.

If D1 is active, the output is 01.

If only D0 is active, the output is 00.

If none of the inputs are active, the output is undefined.

Diagram Brief (20 sec)

The circuit uses logic gates to determine the output. I've drawn a block diagram showing the inputs

D0 to D3, outputs x and Y, and the valid signal.

Use Cases & Ending (20 sec)

Priority Encoder Presentation

Priority encoders are commonly used in interrupt controllers, microprocessors, or any digital system

where multiple signals may arrive but only the highest-priority one should be processed.

So, that was my short presentation on the priority encoder.

Thank you.
