Encoders and Decoders

An encoder converts an analog signal to a digital signal using an electronic device with multiple input lines but only one active input at a time, producing an N-bit output code. A decoder converts a digital signal back to analog by allowing a single input and multiple outputs. Encoders and decoders are used in electronics projects to compress inputs and outputs and are built with logic gates. They have truth tables that define their input-output relationships and are used in applications like motor synchronization, robotics, communication, and automation.

Encoders and Decoders

•An encoder is an electronic device used to convert an


analogue signal to a digital signal such as a BCD code.
• It has a number of input lines, but only one of the inputs is
activated at a given time and produces an N-bit output code
that depends on the activated input.
•The encoders and decoders are used in many electronics
projects to compress the multiple number of inputs into
smaller number of outputs.
•The encoder allows 2 power N inputs and generates N-
number of outputs.
•For example, in 4-2 encoder, if we give 4 inputs it produces
only 2 outputs.
Truth Table Of The Encoder
The decoders and encoders are designed with
logic gate such as an OR-gate.
There are different types of encoders and
decoders like 4 , 8, and 16 encoders and the
truth table of encoder depends upon a
particular encoder chosen by the user.
Here, a 4-bit encoder is being explained along
with the truth table.
The four-bit encoder allows only four inputs
such as A0, A1, A2, A3 and generates the two
outputs F0, F1, as shown in below diagram.

Introduction Of Decoder
•The decoder is an electronic device that is used to
convert digital signal to an analogue signal.
•It allows single input line and produces multiple
output lines.
•The decoders are used in many communication
projects that are used to communicate between two
devices.
•The decoder allows N- inputs and generates 2 power
N-numbers of outputs.
•For example, if we give 2 inputs that will produce 4
outputs by using 4 by 2 decoder.
Truth Table Of The Decoder
The encoders and decoders are designed with
logic gates such as AND gate.
There are different types of decoders like 4, 8,
and 16 decoders and the truth table of decoder
depends upon a particular decoder chosen by the
user.
The subsequent description is about a 4-bit
decoder and its truth table.
The four bit decoder allows only four outputs
such as A0, A1, A2, A3 and generates two outputs
F0, F1, as shown in the below diagram
