THEORY
An encoder is a combinational circuit that performs the inverse operation of a decoder. If a
device output code has fewer bits than the input code has, the device is usually called an encoder.
e.g. 2n-to-n, priority encoders.
The simplest encoder is a 2n-to-n binary encoder, where it has only one of 2n inputs = 1 and the
output is the n-bit binary number corresponding to the active input.
Octal-to-Binary take 8 inputs and provides 3 outputs, thus doing the opposite of what the 3-to-8
decoder does. At any one time, only one input line has a value of 1.
For an 8-to-3 binary encoder with inputs D0-D7 the logic expressions of the outputs A0-A2.
A0 = D1 + D3 + D5 + D7
A1 = D2 + D3 + D6 + D7
A2 = D4 + D5 + D6 + D7
Decimal-to-Binary take 10 inputs and provides 4 outputs, thus doing the opposite of what the 4-
to-10 decoder does. At any one time, only one input line has a value of 1.
For 10-to-4 binary encoder with inputs D0-D9 the logic expressions of the outputs A0-A3
A3 = D8 + D9
A2 = D4 + D5 + D6 + D7
A1 = D2 + D3 + D6 + D7
A0 = D1 + D3 + D5 + D7 + D9

PROCEDURE

1.Connect the Trainer to the 220V AC supply.

2. Verify all gates of 74LS32.
3.For octal to binary encoder make connections as shown in figure 8.3 and verify the table
8.1.
4.For decimal to BCD encoder make connections as shown in figure 8.4 and verify the table
8.2.
5.As 4 input OR gate is used in figure 8.1 so to make 4 input OR gate with the help of 2
input OR gate follow the figure 8.1.
6.As 5 input OR gate is used in figure 8.2 so to make 5 input OR gate with the help of 2
input OR gate follow the figure 8.1.
