Combinational Circuits

(Decoder and Encoder)


Decoder
• The name Decoder means to translate or decode
coded information from one format into another.
• A decoder is a combinational circuit that converts
binary information from n input lines to a
maximum of 2n unique output lines.
• n inputs
• 2n outputs
• If a binary decoder receives n inputs it activates one
and only one of its 2n outputs based on that input
with all other outputs deactivated.
• A decoder has n inputs and m outputs is referred to
as an n × m decoder

Decoder with Enable input
• Decoders include one or more enable inputs to
control the operation of the circuit.
• The decoder is enabled when E is equal to 1 and
disabled when E is equal to 0.

Encoder
• Encoder is a combinational circuit that perform the
inverse operation of the decoder.
• An encoder has 2n input lines and n output lines.
• Encoders assume that only one input line is active
at a time.

8 × 3 Encoder
Encoder Design Issues
There are two ambiguities associated with the design
of a simple encoder:
• Only one input can be active at any given time. If
two inputs are active simultaneously, the output
produces an undefined combination (for example, if
D3 and D6 are 1 simultaneously, the output of the
encoder will be 111.
• An output with all 0's can be generated when all the
inputs are 0's,or when D0 is equal to 1.
Priority Encoder
• Multiple asserted inputs are allowed; one has
priority over all others.
• Separate indication of no asserted inputs.

• A priority encoder is a special type of encoder that


includes the priority function.
• If two or more inputs are equal to 1 at the same
time, the input having the highest priority will take
precedence.
Priority Encoder
Valid-output indicator
A valid-output indicator, designed by V, is set to 1 only
when one or more of the inputs are equal to 1. If all
inputs are 0, V is equal to 0 and the other outputs of
the circuit are not used.
