Comparators
A comparator is an electronic
circuit that compares two
analog or digital input signals
and produces a digital output
indicating which input is
larger or if they are equal
How Comparators Work
A comparator typically has two input terminals:
•Non-inverting input (+)

•Inverting input (-)

The circuit compares the voltages at these terminals and outputs a high or low
signal based on the comparison:
•If the voltage at the non-inverting input is higher than at the inverting input, the
output is high (logic 1).
•If the voltage at the inverting input is higher, the output is low (logic 0).
Types of Comparators
•Open-Loop Comparator – Operates without feedback,
providing fast and direct comparisons.
•Hysteresis Comparator (Schmitt Trigger) – Uses feedback
to reduce noise sensitivity.
•Window Comparator – Checks whether an input voltage falls
within a specific range.
•Precision Comparator – Designed for high accuracy in
measurement applications.
Applications
•Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC)
•Zero Crossing Detection
•Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) circuits
•Voltage Level Detection
•Temperature and Light Sensors
Decoder
A decoder is a digital circuit
that converts coded binary
input into a specific output
pattern. It is commonly used
in digital electronics to select
one of many outputs based on
an input code.
How Decoders Work
Decoders take n input lines and produce 2ⁿ output
lines. Each output corresponds to a unique combination
of input signals. For example:
•A 2-to-4 decoder has 2 inputs and 4 outputs.
•A 3-to-8 decoder has 3 inputs and 8 outputs.
The decoder activates only one output at a time based
on the binary input.
Types of Decoders
•Binary Decoders – Convert binary input into a specific
output.
•BCD to Decimal Decoders – Convert Binary-Coded
Decimal (BCD) into decimal outputs.
•Demultiplexers – Function as decoders by routing data
from one input to multiple outputs.
•Address Decoders – Used in memory systems to select
specific memory locations.
Applications
•Memory Addressing – Selecting memory locations in
RAM.
•Seven-Segment Displays – Converting binary
numbers into display signals.
•Communication Systems – Decoding encoded signals
for transmission.
•Microprocessors – Instruction decoding for executing
commands.
Encoder
An encoder is a digital
circuit that converts
information from one format
to another, typically from
multiple input lines into a
smaller number of output
lines. It is widely used in
digital electronics for data
compression, signal
encoding, and
How Encoders Work
Encoders take 2ⁿ input lines and produce n output lines.
Each output represents a unique binary code
corresponding to the active input. For example:
•A 4-to-2 encoder has 4 inputs and 2 outputs.
•An 8-to-3 encoder has 8 inputs and 3 outputs.
Encoders ensure efficient data representation by reducing
the number of bits required for transmission or processing.
Types of Encoders
•Binary Encoders – Convert multiple input signals into a binary
code.
•Priority Encoders – Assign priority to inputs and encode the
highest-priority active input.
•Decimal to BCD Encoders – Convert decimal numbers into
Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) format.
•Octal to Binary Encoders – Convert octal numbers into binary
representation.
Applications
•Data Compression – Reducing the number of bits required for
storage or transmission.
•Keyboard Encoding – Converting key presses into binary
signals.
•Multiplexing – Selecting data for transmission in
communication systems.
•Robotics & Automation – Position and motion encoding for
precise control.
