Question

Define encoder and decoder in digital electronics

Answer 1

The purpose of encoder is standardization, speed, secrecy, security, or saving space by shrinking size. Encoders are combinational logic circuits and they are exactly opposite of decoders. They accept one or more inputs and generate a multibit output code. Encoders perform exactly reverse operation than decoder.

Answer 2

Answer:

Encoders are combinational logic circuits and they are exactly opposite of decoders. They accept one or more inputs and generate a multibit output code. Encoders perform exactly reverse operation than decoder. ... If a device output code has fewer bits than the input code has, the device is usually called an encoder.
