ENcoder Notes EE101

An encoder outputs the binary value of the active input. It has 2N inputs and N outputs, performing the inverse operation of a decoder. Issues can occur if more than one input is active or if no inputs are active. A priority encoder prioritizes higher-order inputs over lower-order ones based on their binary value. It also includes a valid indicator output to show whether the encoded output is valid when an input is selected or invalid when no inputs are selected.

Encoder

An encoder outputs the binary value of the


active input.

An encoder has 2N inputs and N outputs.

Encoder
 Inverse operation of the decoder
 Decoder selects one output based on the
input binary number.
 Encoder outputs a binary number based
on the selected input.
 Issues
 What if more than one input is active?
 What if no inputs are active?

The active (or selected) input is encoded on the n outputs.

Priority Encoder
• Higher-order input has priority of lower-order input
– Order of the input determined by its binary value
• I0 has binary value 000 (0)
• I1 has binary value 001 (1)
• I2 has binary value 010 (2)
• I3 has binary value 011 (3)
• etc.

– So,
• I1 selected over I0
• I2 selected over I1 and I0
• I3 selected over I2, I1, and I0
• etc.

Priority Encoder
• Valid indicator
– Output signal of the (priority) encoder that indicates the
validity of the encoded output
– Encoded output is invalid when no inputs are selected or
when the encoder is disabled
• V = 0 (indicates invalid encoded output; active high)
– Encoded output when one, or more, input(s) is (are)
selected, and encoder is enabled
• V = 1 (indicates valid encoded output; active high)
