Implementation of 4-input priority encoder

Objective:
To design a 4-input priority encoder.

Apparatus:
Logic trainer
Connecting wires
IC: AND, OR, NOT
Power supply

Theory:

A priority encoder is a combinational circuit that performs priority. The priority encoder
can be implemented by following Boolean function.
A0=D3+D1D2
A1=D2+D3
V=D0+D1+D2+D3

Procedure:
Construct the circuit as shown in logic diagram.
Connect inputs to switches of logic trainer and output to LED.
Apply various combinations of inputs and observe the conditions of LEDs.
Mark results in truth table.

Observations & Calculations:

A0=D3+D1D2
A1=D2+D3
V=D0+D1+D2+D3

D0 D1 D2 D3 A1=D2+D3 A0=D3+D1D2 V=D0+D1+D2+D3

Comments:
In today lab, there is no zero error occurred while performing practical and we observed
that practical result is same as theoretical result.
After performing this lab we have found the following importance.
There are numerous input devices in computer system and several of which
devices attempt to supply the data to the computer simultaneously. In those cases, a
priority encoder enables the input device having the highest priority among those
devices trying to access the computer at the same time.
Priority encoder is use to control the input of encoder.

Conclusion:
In this lab we learnt about priority encoder, how the priority of encoder is set.
We aslo implement the priority encoder and verified it result, we observed that practical
result is same as theoretical
