Motivational Quotes

Page: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. Ayn Rand  Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. William James  Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it. Ella Wheeler Wilcox  Always desire to learn something useful. Sophocles  Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. Og Mandino  Be gentle to all and stern with yourself. Saint Teresa of Avila  Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. Wayne Dyer  Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail. John Donne  Begin to be now what you will be hereafter. William James  Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. Norman Vincent Peale  Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself. Swami Sivananda  Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing. Thomas Jefferson  Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand. Baruch Spinoza  Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. Thomas Jefferson  Either you run the day or the day runs you. Jim Rohn  Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward. Victor Kiam  Expect problems and eat them for breakfast. Alfred A. Montapert  Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear. Baruch Spinoza  Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Sasha Cohen  Go big or go home. Because it's true. What do you have to lose?

encoders

		Encoders
		An encoder is a combinational circuit that performs the inverse operation of a decoder. If a device output code has fewer bits than the input code has, the device is usually called an encoder. e.g. 2n-to-n, priority encoders.
		The simplest encoder is a 2n-to-n binary encoder, where it has only one of 2ninputs = 1 and the output is the n-bit binary number corresponding to the active input.
		Example - Octal-to-Binary Encoder
		Octal-to-Binary take 8 inputs and provides 3 outputs, thus doing the opposite of what the 3-to-8 decoder does. At any one time, only one input line has a value of 1. The figure below shows the truth table of an Octal-to-binary encoder.
		Truth Table

		For an 8-to-3 binary encoder with inputs I0-I7 the logic expressions of the outputs Y0-Y2 are:
		Y0 = I1 + I3 + I5 + I7
		Y1= I2 + I3 + I6 + I7
		Y2 = I4 + I5 + I6 +I7
		Based on the above equations, we can draw the circuit as shown below

		Example - Decimal-to-Binary Encoder
		Decimal-to-Binary take 10 inputs and provides 4 outputs, thus doing the opposite of what the 4-to-10 decoder does. At any one time, only one input line has a value of 1. The figure below shows the truth table of a Decimal-to-binary encoder.

		From the above truth table , we can derive the functions Y3, Y2, Y1 and Y0 as given below.
		Y3 = I8 + I9
		Y2 = I4 + I5 + I6 + I7
		Y1 = I2 + I3 + I6 + I7
		Y0 = I1 + I3 + I5 + I7 + I9
		Priority Encoder
		If we look carefully at the Encoder circuits that we got, we see the following limitations. If more then two inputs are active simultaneously, the output is unpredictable or rather it is not what we expect it to be.
		This ambiguity is resolved if priority is established so that only one input is encoded, no matter how many inputs are active at a given point of time.
		The priority encoder includes a priority function. The operation of the priority encoder is such that if two or more inputs are active at the same time, the input having the highest priority will take precedence.
		Example - 4to3 Priority Encoder
		The truth table of a 4-input priority encoder is as shown below. The input D3 has the highest priority, D2 has next highest priority, D0 has the lowest priority. This means output Y2 and Y1 are 0 only when none of the inputs D1, D2, D3 are high and only D0 is high.
		A 4 to 3 encoder consists of four inputs and three outputs, truth table and symbols of which is shown below.
		Truth Table
		D3 D2 D1 D0 Y2 Y1 Y0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 x 0 1 0 0 1 x x 0 1 1 1 x x x 1 0 0
		Now that we have the truth table, we can draw the Kmaps as shown below.
		Kmaps
		From the Kmap we can draw the circuit as shown below. For Y2, we connect directly to D3.
		We can apply the same logic to get higher order priority encoders.
