Binary Decoders and Encoders

Binary Decoders

• A binary decoder is a digital circuit that converts binary information into a decimal or other format.
• It takes a binary input and generates a specific output based on the input code.
• Example: 2-to-4 line decoder, 3-to-8 line decoder.

Binary Encoders

• A binary encoder is a digital circuit that converts decimal or other format information into binary.
• It takes a decimal input and generates a binary output code.
• Example: 4-to-2 line encoder, 8-to-3 line encoder.
