Decoder and Encoder

The document explains the functions of encoders and decoders in digital electronics, highlighting that encoders convert 2^N input lines into N-bit code and decoders perform the reverse operation. It details the structure and limitations of encoders, such as the requirement for only one active input at a time, and presents examples like the octal-to-binary encoder. Additionally, it describes the operation of decoders, including a specific example of a 2 to 4 decoder with its truth table and output behavior.

DECODER AND

• Binary code of N digits can be used to store 2N distinct elements of coded information.
This is what encoders and decoders are used for.

• Encoders convert 2N lines of input into a code of N bits and Decoders decode the N
bits into 2N lines.

• Encoders – An encoder is a combinational circuit that converts binary information in


the form of a 2N input lines into N output lines, which represent N bit code for the input.
• For simple encoders, it is assumed that only one input line is active at a time.
• As an example, let’s consider Octal to Binary encoder. As shown in the following
figure, an octal-to-binary encoder takes 8 input lines and generates 3 output lines.
TRUTH TABLE
X = D4 + D5 + D6 + D7
Y X= =D2D4+D3
+ D5 + D6
+ D6 + D7+ D7
Z Y= =D1D2+ +D3
D3 ++ D5
D6 ++ D7
D7
Z = D1 + D3 + D5 + D7

• As seen from the truth table, the output is 000 when D0 is active; 001
when D1 is active; 010 when D2 is active and so on.
• Implementation
• From the truth table, the output line Z is active when the input octal
digit is 1, 3, 5 or 7. Similarly, Y is 1 when input octal digit is 2, 3, 6 or 7
and X is 1 for input octal digits 4, 5, 6 or 7. Hence, the Boolean
functions would be:
HENCE, THE ENCODER CAN BE REALISED
WITH OR GATES AS FOLLOWS:

One limitation of this encoder is that only one input can be active at
any given time
DECODERS

• A decoder does the opposite job of an encoder. It is a combinational


circuit that converts n lines of input into 2 n lines of output

• A #decoder in digital electronics is a combinational circuit that has n


inputs and 2 to the power of n outputs.
• The output of the decoder is a maximum of 2^n unique output lines.
• The binary information from n input lines is converted to a maximum of
2^n unique output lines in the decoder.
• The operation of decoder is reverse to that of encoder.
TYPES OF DECODERS:
• 2 to 4 decoder
• The 2 to 4 decoder has 2 input and 4 output lines.
• Let the inputs be A1 and A0 and the outputs be Y3, Y2, Y1, Y0. The
following is the block diagram of 2 to 4 decoder
• When the enable pin is set i.e., when E=1, for each input combination
given at input lines one of the outputs will be high.
• The following is the truth table of 2 to 4 decoder
• D0 is high when X = 0, Y = 0 and Z = 0. Hence
