Encoder S

An encoder is a combinational logic circuit that converts active input signals into a coded binary output, commonly used in applications like keyboard encoding and sensor interfacing. It has multiple input lines with only one active at a time, producing a binary output, and includes types such as binary, octal to binary, decimal to BCD, and priority encoders. While encoders reduce wiring complexity and facilitate data representation, they have limitations like only allowing one active input in standard configurations.

Introduction to Encoders

An encoder is a combinational logic circuit that converts active input signals into a coded
binary output.

It performs the reverse operation of a decoder.

Encoders are used in various applications like keyboard encoding, sensor interfacing, and
communication systems.

. Basic Operation of Encoders

An encoder has:

Inputs (m): n ^n input lines where only one input is active at a time.

Outputs (n): Binary output lines that represent the active input in binary form.

Example: A -to- encoder has inputs and outputs.

If input I I_ is active, the output will be " ".

. Block Diagram of an Encoder

Include a labeled diagram showing n ^n inputs and nn outputs.

Show logic gates or a black box representation of the encoder.

. Truth Table for Encoders

For a -to- encoder, the truth table is as follows:

InputsOutputsI I_ = Y Y = I I_ = Y Y = I I_ = Y Y = I I_ = Y Y =

Only one input should be active at a time (priority or standard encoding).

If multiple inputs are active, a priority encoder is required.

. Types of Encoders

Binary Encoder:

Converts n ^n inputs to n-bit binary output.

Example: -to- , -to- encoders.

Octal to Binary Encoder:

Converts inputs into a -bit binary output.


Decimal to BCD Encoder:

Converts decimal inputs ( - ) to a -bit binary-coded decimal (BCD) output.

Priority Encoder:

Assigns priority to inputs if multiple inputs are active simultaneously.

Example: If I I_ and I I_ are active, I I_ takes precedence.

. Working of a Priority Encoder

In a priority encoder, the higher-priority input generates the output regardless of the lower-
priority inputs.

Include an example truth table and explain the logic behind assigning priority.

Example Logic Equation for a -to- Priority Encoder:

Y = I +I I_ + I_

Y = I +I I_ + I_

. Applications of Encoders

Keyboard Encoding:

Converts keypresses into binary codes for processors.

Data Compression:

Reduces the number of required data lines in digital systems.

Digital Communication Systems:

Encodes data for efficient transmission.

Rotary Encoders:

Converts mechanical motion into digital signals for position or speed measurement.

. Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

Reduces the number of wires or connections.

Facilitates efficient data representation.

Limitations:
Only one input can be active at a time in a standard encoder.

Priority encoders add complexity with additional logic gates.
