TITLE: ENCODER

INSTRUCTIONAL AIMS:

The trainees must be able to:

1. Describe the function of an encoder.

2. Design the internal circuitry for an encoder.

TOOLS.EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS:

Breadboard, Power Supply, IC 74147,7432,7400,7408,LED and Jumper

Wires

DRAWING, DATA TABLES:

Refer to pages with the procedure instructions.

GENERAL INSTRUCTION:

Trainees are going to examine the concept of a code converter using

encoder.

CONCEPT.

An encoder performs a function that is the opposite of decoding. It

receives one or more signals in an un-coded form and outputs a code
that can be processed by another logic circuit.

Question:

4. The 74147 Decimal to BCD Encoder yields a unique output _LOW___

for each input state detected.

5. The 74147 Decimal to CD Encoder has active LOW

(LOW/HIGH)inputs and active LOW (LOW/HIGH) outputs.

6. Refer to the logic symbol below, determine the output level for the
74HC147 encode

i. I3 is LOW all other input are HIGH

ii. I3 and I7 is LOW and all other input are HIGH
iii. I9 is LOW all other input are HIGH

CONCLUSION:
From the experiment, we could know more about the encoder that
used in electronic nowadays. The IC of HIGH input or LOW input can
represent by the bubble at their input or output. There was the way we
learn more about the IC for encoder with construct it using schematic
circuit.
