Binary Encoder - Definition, Types and Applications - 4 to 2 Encoder - Octal to Binary Encoder - Decimal to BCD Encoder

Binary Encoder:

  • A Binary Encoder is a digital circuit that converts an active input signal from 2 power n input lines into a coded output signal with n bits.
Types of Encoder:
  • 4 to 2 Encoder
  • Octal to Binary Encoder (8 to 3 Encoder)
  • Decimal to BCD Encoder (10 to 4 Encoder)
  • Priority Encoder
Applications:
  • Encoders are used to convert the binary data from one form to another form
  • It is widely used in data compression techniques
  • It is used in all digital computation system - digital calculators, computers, etc.,
