Decoder and Encoder
Objectves:
⮚ To have a basic understanding of decoders and encoders.
⮚ To experimentally verify the operaton of decoder and encoder.
Equipment required:
⮚ ICs as required
⮚ Digital Electronics Trainer
Background Knowledge:
Decoder:
In digital electronics, a decoder can take the form of a multple-input, multple-output logic circuit that
converts coded inputs into coded outputs, where the input and output codes are different e.g. n-to-2n ,
binary-coded decimal decoders. Decoding is necessary in applicatons such as data multplexing, 7
segment display and memory address decoding.
Encoder:
An encoder is a device, circuit, transducer, soſtware program, algorithm or person that converts
informaton from one format or code to another.
Task 1:
Use basic gates to implement and design a 2 to 4 line decoder.
Steps:
1. Complete the truth table given below for a decoder
2. Write the logic equatons formed.
3. Patch the equatons on the trainer (do not UN patch the circuit, as it will be used later)

Steps:
1. Complete the truth table given below for an encoder.
2. Write the logic equatons formed.
3. Patch the equatons on the trainer accordingly.

Task 3:
Consider the following diagram, which means if we connect a decoder and an encoder (of same order)
in series we should get back our input.
Connect the above designed decoder and encoder in series and verify the results.
