Magnitude Comparator: A magnitude comparator is a combinational circuit that compares two binary numbers and determines their relative magnitude. The schematic block diagram in figure-1 has two inputs and three outputs. It compares two numbers for equality, less than and greater than conditions. Depending on the comparison, one of the output will be true and […]
Decoder and Encoder
Implementing with Decoders: A decoder is a combinational circuit that converts N-bit binary information to 2N unique output lines. It is able to represent upto 2N distinct elements of coded information. General type decoders usually come in sizes of Nx2N where N is the number of input lines. With a given input, only one of […]
Multiplexers and De-Multiplexers
Introduction to Multiplexer: A multiplexer also called as a data selector, is a combinational circuit used to select information from one of the many input sources and directs it to a single output line. A multiplexer has several data input lines but only one output. Control or selection lines are used for selecting one of the […]
Adder Circuits
Adder Circuits An adder is a combinational circuit that adds multi-bit (two or more). Different types of adders are: Half Adder : A combinational circuit that adds 2-bits Full Adder : A combinational circuit that adds 2-bits and a carry from the previous stage of addition. Ripple Carry Adder/ or Carry Propagate Adder: An adder that add […]

Design of Comparator in VHDL
AIM: Write a VHDL program for a comparator and check the wave forms and the hardware generated Objective: To understand the working of Comparator To learn VHDL codin To understand functional simulation Theory: A comparator is a combinational circuit that compares two objects and returns the outcome as “equal”, “less then”, or “greater then”. The […]
Synthesis of Encoder
Priority Encoder A priority Encoder encodes one of the many inputs but only the key having the highest priority is encoded first. If highest priority key is not pressed then the next lower priority key is encoded and so on. The functional table is given below, In the table Y0 and Y1 are the encoded […]
