Circuit Simulation Project

8 to 3 bit Priority Encoder


Submitted by: Mohammad Khalique Khan
Aliah University, Kolkata – India
Introduction
An encoder is a kind of combinational circuit which converts multiple input
signal to a coded output signal in such a way that the output signal reassembles
complete information which is fed at the input of the encoder. The encoder
consists of ‘2n’ bits of input lines and ‘n’ bits output lines. The circuit of an
encoder is based on the operation of Boolean expressions.
8 to 3-bit priority encoder is an encoder that consists of 8 input lines and 3
output lines. It can also be called an Octal to a binary encoder. Each input line
has a base value of 8 (octal) and each output has a base value of 2 (binary).
The truth table below gives us an idea of the operation of the 8 to 3-bit Priority
Encoder.

Logical Expression for Output lines


 Q0 = D1 + D3 + D5 + D7
 Q1 = D2 + D3 + D6 + D7
 Q2 = D4 + D5 + D6 + D7

Figure 1. Basic Structural Diagram

The above Fig.1 shows the rough circuitry of the 8 to 3-bit Priority Encoder. In
this project, basic circuitry of 8 to 3 priority encoder is being used, followed by
DACs and ADCs for the simulation purpose. There are three 4 input OR gates
which perform the OR operation, as mentioned above in the logical expressions.

Conclusion:
Recapitulating the project, the following points can be concluded:
The circuit of 8 to 3-bit Priority Encoder was successfully simulated.
 At the output of the Encoder, we get the desired logic pulse at the output
in a binary form corresponding to its octal equivalent.
 For Ex. Let say logic high pulse is applied at the input of encoder (pin 6),
so we will get its binary Equivalent as,
(Q2, Q1, Q0) = (1 1 0)
