Encoder in Digital Design

The document discusses various types of encoders in digital design, including 4:2, 8:3, decimal to BCD, and priority encoders. Each encoder converts a specific number of input lines into a binary code, with logical expressions provided for the outputs. The priority encoder is highlighted for its ability to prioritize inputs when multiple lines are active.

An Encoder is a combinational circuit that performs the reverse operation


of Decoder.It has maximum of 2^n input lines and ‘n’ output lines, hence it
encodes the information from 2^n inputs into an n-bit code. It will produce a
binary code equivalent to the input, which is active High. Therefore, the
encoder encodes 2^n input lines with ‘n’ bits

4 : 2 Encoder –

The 4 to 2 Encoder consists of four inputs Y3, Y2, Y1 & Y0 and two
outputs A1 & A0. At any time, only one of these 4 inputs can be ‘1’ in order
to get the respective binary code at the output. The figure below shows the
logic symbol of 4 to 2 encoder :

The Truth table of 4 to 2 encoder is as follows :


Logical expression for A1 and A0 :
A1 = Y3 + Y2
A0 = Y3 + Y1

The above two Boolean functions A1 and A0 can be implemented using two
input OR gates :

8 : 3 Encoder (Octal to Binary) –

The 8 to 3 Encoder or octal to Binary encoder consists of 8 inputs : Y7 to Y0


and 3 outputs : A2, A1 & A0. Each input line corresponds to each octal digit
and three outputs generate corresponding binary code.
The figure below shows the logic symbol of octal to binary encoder:

The truth table for 8 to 3 encoder is as follows :

Logical expression for A2, A1 and A0 :

A2 = Y7 + Y6 + Y5 + Y4
A1 = Y7 + Y6 + Y3 + Y2
A0 = Y7 + Y5 + Y3 + Y1

The above two Boolean functions A2, A1 and A0 can be implemented using
four input OR gates :
Decimal to BCD Encoder –

The decimal to binary encoder usually consists of 10 input lines and 4


output lines. Each input line corresponds to the each decimal digit and 4
outputs correspond to the BCD code. This encoder accepts the decoded
decimal data as an input and encodes it to the BCD output which is available
on the output lines. The figure below shows the logic symbol of decimal to
BCD encoder :

The truth table for decimal to BCD encoder is as follows:


Logical expression for A3, A2, A1 and A0 :

A3 = Y9 + Y8
A2 = Y7 + Y6 + Y5 +Y4
A1 = Y7 + Y6 + Y3 +Y2
A0 = Y9 + Y7 +Y5 +Y3 + Y1

The above two Boolean functions can be implemented using OR gates :


Priority Encoder –

A 4 to 2 priority encoder has 4 inputs : Y3, Y2, Y1 & Y0 and 2 outputs : A1


& A0. Here, the input, Y3 has the highest priority, whereas the input, Y0 has
the lowest priority. In this case, even if more than one input is ‘1’ at the
same time, the output will be the (binary) code corresponding to the input,
which is having higher priority.
The truth table for priority encoder is as follows :
The above two Boolean functions can be implemented as :
