Decoders and Encoders

This document summarizes decoders and encoders. It describes decoders as logic circuits that detect a specific binary number and outputs a signal. Examples given are a 2-to-4 decoder and 3-to-8 decoder. Encoders are described as performing the inverse operation of decoders by generating a unique code from inputs. The lab work involves constructing a 2-to-4 decoder and BCD-to-seven segment decoder using logic blocks and testing them. Exercises include drawing a 3-to-8 decoder, designing one using two 2-to-4 decoders, and designing a full adder using a decoder and OR gates.

Experiment # 5

Decoders
&
Encoders

Eng. Waleed Y. Mousa


1. Objectives:

1. Understanding the construction and operational principles of digital


decoders and encoders.

2. Theory:

 Decoders:
A decoder is a logic circuit that will detect the presence of a specific binary number
or word. The input to the decoder is a parallel binary number and the output is a
binary signal that indicates the presence or absence of that specific number.
It is a combinational circuit that converts binary information from n input lines to a
maximum of 2n unique output lines.

 2-to-4 decoder:

Inputs Outputs
B A F1 F2 F3 F4
0 0 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 1 0 0
1 0 0 0 1 0
1 1 0 0 0 1

o F1 = A.B.
o F2 = A.B.
o F3 = A.B.
o F4 = A.B.

 3-to-8 decoder:

Example:
Implement the following truth table using a decoder and OR gate.

Inputs Output
A B C F
0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 1
0 1 1 0
1 0 0 1
1 0 1 0
1 1 0 0
1 1 1 1

Solution:
F (A,B,C) = ∑(1,2,4,7)

 BCD-to-Seven Segment decoder:
A seven segment LED display contains 7 LEDs. Each LED is called a segment
and they are identified as (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) segments.

For example if decimal 9 is to be displayed a, b, c, d, f, g must be 0 and the


others must be 1 (For common anode type display units), if decimal 5 is to be
displayed then a, f, g, c, d must be 0 and the others must be 1.

 Encoders:

An encoder is a device, circuit, transducer, software program, algorithm or person


that converts information from one format or code to another, for the purposes of
standardization, speed, secrecy, security, or saving space by shrinking size.
Encoder is a digital circuit that performs the inverse operation of a decoder,
generates a unique binary code from several input lines.
Generally encoders produce 2-bit, 3-bit or 4-bit code.
 n bit encoder has 2n input

3. Lab Work:

Part 1:

1) Use model KL-33005 block C to construct 2-to-4 decoder, connect inputs A


and B to data switches SW0 and SW1, connect outputs F1, F2, F3, F4 to LEDs
L0,L1, L2, L3 respectively.
Then test the results.

Part 2

1) Use KL-33005 block b to construct BCD-to-Seven Segment, connect inputs


A, B, C and D to data switches, connect the input (LT) to DIP1.0 and set it to
logic 1, connect outputs of BCD to Seven Segment and from Seven Segment
to the Leds. Then complete this table.

INPUTS 7- Segments Display


A B C D a b c d e f g number
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 1
0 0 1 0
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 0
0 1 0 1
0 1 1 0
0 1 1 1
1 0 0 0
1 0 0 1

4. Exercises:

1) Draw 3-to-8 decoder block without enable. Then find the truth table.

2) Design 3-to-8 decoder using tow 2-to-4 decoders with enables. Then find the truth
table.

3) Design a Full Adder using decoder and OR gates.
