Encoder and Decoder (1)

The document discusses the application of combinational logic circuits in encoding and decoding data for digital systems. It explains how encoders convert input information into binary form, while decoders transform binary data into a usable format for output devices. Specific examples include the use of ASCII codes for text representation and the functionality of priority encoders like the 74HC148 for managing multiple inputs.

Application of Combinational Logic
circuit
Encoding and Decoding :
• When connecting a logic circuit with the outside world,
incoming information from a keyboard or other input device
must be changed (encoded) into an appropriate binary form.
• Also before binary data produced by the digital system can
be used by an output device, such as a display, it must be
decoded into a form that can be used by the display.
• Encoders and decoders used for such jobs are also
combinational logic circuits
Encoder
• For example text may be represented by an ASCII code
(American standard Code for Information Interchange), in
which each letter, number or symbol is represented by a 7-bit
binary code.
• Decimal numbers in a calculator may be sent to a numeric
display using BCD (Binary Coded Decimal).
• the word ‘code’ appears in each of these titles, and a binary
code differs from normal binary because it is arranged in a
particular way to suit a given purpose.
Priority Encoders
• Binary Encoders generally have a number of inputs that must be mutually
exclusive, i.e. only one of the inputs can be active at any one time.
• The encoder then produces a binary code on the output pins, which changes
in response to the input that has been activated.
• Example decimal to BCD (or 10-to-4 line) encoder would be expected to
have ten input pins, but in fact the 74HC147 has only 9.
• The tenth condition (zero) is assumed to be present because when none of
the 1 to 9 input pins is active, this must indicate zero.
• The input pins may be used to connect to switches on a decimal keypad,
and the encoder would output a 4-bit BCD code, (0000 to 1001) depending
on which key has been pressed, or simply to identify which one of ten input
lines in a circuit is active, by outputting an appropriate number in four bit
BCD code.
• if more than one input is made active at the same time, the output
will select only the most significant active input. For example, if 6 and
7 are pressed together the BCD output will indicate 7.

IC 74HC148 8-to-3-Line Encoder

• The 74HC148 also uses priority encoding and features eight active low
inputs and a three-bit active low binary (Octal) output.
• The IC is enabled by an active low Enable In ( EI ), and an active low
Enable Out (EO) is provided so that several ICs can be connected in
cascade, allowing the encoding of more inputs, for example a 16-to-6-
line encoder using two 8-to-3 encoders.
• the IC is only active when EI is low, and also that for each input selected
by a low logic level (L), all lower value inputs indicate ‘Don’t Care’,
typical of priority encoding.
IC 74HC148 8-to-3-Line Encoder

• The Group Select ( GS ) output is used together with EO for


connecting additional 74HC148 ICs in cascade.
• The EI input is normally used on the most significant IC and
whenever an input on this IC is selected, the EO output goes
high (disabling any less significant ICs), and the Group Select
( GS ) output goes low indicating that the group of outputs of
this IC are active.

Decoder

• A circuit that coverts binary information from n input lines to a maximum of


2^n unique output lines
• May have fewer than 2^n outputs
• A n-to-m-line decoder (m ≤ 2^n): Generate the m minterms of n input
variables
• For each possible input combination, there is only one output that is equal
to 1
• The output whose value is equal to 1 represents the minterm equivalent of
the binary number presently available in the input lines
