Encoder

An encoder is a device, circuit, transducer, software program, algorithm or person that converts information from one format or code to another, for the purposes of standardization, speed, secrecy, security or compressions. A simple encoder assigns a binary code to an active input line.

This example shows you how to use encoder in BinPy.

from __future__ import print_function
from BinPy.Combinational.combinational import *

encoder = Encoder(0, 1)  # Exacly 1 input must be 1
print (encoder.output())

[1]

# Changing the number of inputs
# No need to set the number, just change the inputs
# Input must be power of 2
encoder.setInputs(0, 0, 0, 1) # Inputs must be power of 2

# To get the input states
print (encoder.getInputStates())

[0, 0, 0, 1]

print (encoder.output())

[1, 1]

# Using Connectors as the input lines
conn = Connector()
encoder.setOutput(1, conn)  # Set Output of decoder to Connector conn
gate1 = AND(conn, 1)  #Put this connector as the input to gate1
print (gate1.output())

1

# Information about encoder instance can be found by
print(encoder)

Encoder Gate; Output: [1, 1]; Inputs: [0, 0, 0, 1];
