and converts it into binary code. Here, a binary code refers to the input
position and identifies the active input. Encoders are widely used in digital
output.
binary value to every input value. For instance, an encoder with 2-4 lines
contains two lines of input and four lines of output. However, it assigns a
This means that it only gives one active low output at any specified time,
whereas it gives inactive high output the rest of the time. The value of
active output selects on the basis of the binary digits which assigns to an
active input.
simple words, encoders refer to a type of digital system or circuit that uses
binary inputs and converts them into a unique code of binary that

1. 4 to 2 Encoder Circuit
The Encoder 4 to 2 contains four inputs and two outputs. The input
includes Y0, Y1, Y2, and Y3, whereas the output includes A0 and A1. here
only one of the four inputs can have a ‘1” value to get an individual output
binary code.
This encoder is octal to binary and contains eight inputs and three outputs.
The inputs include Y0 to Y7, whereas the output includes A0, A1, and A2. In
this, each line of input corresponds to 8 digits and gives three binary ode
outputs.
The encoder decimal to binary contains ten lines of inputs and gives four
lines of outputs. In this, each line of input contains the decimal numbers,
which gives four outputs in the binary code format. However, this encoder
allows the input value in a decoded decimal digit, which encodes them
The priority encoder contains four inputs. These inputs include Y0, Y1, Y2,
and Y3. it gives two outputs which include A0 and A1. In this, Y0 input
contains the lowest input priority while Y3 contains the highest input
priority. Here the input value has more ‘1’ simultaneously; then, the output
comes in the binary code, which corresponds to the value of the input that
People have to go through some errors while encoding the process. At the
same time, some common errors include the following. When the value of
all output comes to zero, it becomes complex and gives errors. Moreover,
if the value of the input is High and comes twice and greater, then it
However, to resolve these issues, make sure to set priorities for every
encoder input. Thus it gives the value of the output code that corresponds
Encoders serve as electrical circuit that is widely used in almost all types of
the microprocessor.
Encoders minimize the number of lines that need to transfer data from
multiple signals input into one output value. However, simply changing
· Improved Reliability
Encoders can convert multiple input signals into just one serial code
output. This enables the encoders to prevent errors during the data
transmission.
· Improved Performance
Encoders reduce the input transmission time from various inputs to one
performance.
· Increased Complexity
Encoders seem simple circuits but come with more complexity than other
· Limited Flexibility
Encoders have fixed flexibility. They only encode a limited amount of input
The Encoder circuit converts the analog or digital signals input into the
exponent’. Encoder uses input in the form of analog and digital signals.
Whereas the decoder converts back the coded binary numbers into their
original signal format. It uses basic logic gates like NAND or AND gates. It
converts the binary digits from n input lines into a max 2 with an n
exponent’s output line. Decoder uses input in the form of coded binary
Conclusion
Whereas decoder and encoder refer to logic circuits. However, both differ
in performing their functions. The encoder encodes the signal data while
the decoder decodes the data of the coded signal to get the exact
message. Besides this, both the decoder and encoder offer various other
beneficial features.
