1. Explain the operation of an encoder. (1 point)
Encoding is used to generate a coded output (such as BCD or binary) from a singular active numeric input line.
2. What does it mean when an encoder is a priority encoder? (1 point)
A priority encoder is when two or more inputs are active simultaneously, and the input with the highest priority is represented on the output, with input line I7 having the highest priority.
3. Describe one practical application that uses encoder. (1 point)
An encoder is used in most wireless devices such as garage door openers to help filter out interference from other devices.
4. Explain the operation of a decoder. (1 point)
Decoding is the process of converting some code (Such …show more content…

Download and unzip the Quartus programming file entitled “decoder” to the folder c:\ect114\week4 on your computer. The file is located in the “Doc Sharing (Week 4 Lab Files)” directory in eCollege. Note: You will not be able to recompile this project as you are only given the programming (.sof) file.
