The document discusses decoders and encoders in digital electronics, explaining their functions and applications. Decoders detect specific bit combinations and generate corresponding outputs, while encoders convert active inputs into coded outputs. It also covers priority encoders, which prioritize inputs when multiple are active, and includes details on their truth tables.

Decoders
A decoder is a digital circuit that detects the presence of a specified
combination of bits (code) on its inputs and indicates the presence of that
code by a specified output level.

In its general form, a decoder has n input lines to handle n bits and from
one to 2n output lines to indicate the presence of one or more n-bit
combinations.

The decoders presented here are called n-to-m-line decoders, where


m ≤ 2𝑛 . Their purpose is to generate the 2𝑛 (or fewer) minterms of n
input variables. The name decoder is also used in conjunction with other
code converters, such as a BCD-to-seven-segment decoder
Decoders

A particular application of this decoder is


binary-to-octal conversion
Decoders

A decoder with enable input can function as a Demultiplexer


Decoders

The output whose value is equal


to 0 represents the minterm
selected by inputs A and B

The decoder is enabled when E is equal to 0 (i.e., active-low enable).

Encoders

• An encoder is a combinational logic circuit that essentially


performs a “reverse” decoder function.

• An encoder accepts an active level on one of its inputs


representing a digit, such as a decimal or octal digit, and
converts it to a coded output, such as BCD or binary.

• Encoders can also be devised to encode various symbols and


alphabetic characters. The process of converting from familiar
symbols or numbers to a coded format is called encoding.

Priority Encoders

• A priority encoder is an encoder circuit that includes the priority


function.

• The operation of the priority encoder is such that if two or more


inputs are equal to 1 at the same time.

• The input having the highest priority will take precedence.


Priority Encoders
• The truth table of a 4-input priority encoder is
given here.

• In addition to the two outputs x and y, the circuit


has a third output designated by V.

• This is a valid bit indicator that is set to 1 when


one or more inputs are equal to 1.

• If all inputs are 0, there is no valid V is equal to 0.

Note that whereas X’s in output columns represents don’t care conditions, the X’s in the input columns
are useful for representing a truth table as condensed form.

Instead of listing all 16 minterms of four variables. the truth table uses an X to represent either 1 or 0 For
example.
XI00 represent the two mintems 0100 and 1100.
