The enhancement on a simple encoder circuit, in terms of handling all possible input combinations has lead to the development of special circuits known as Priority Encoders. These circuits facilitate in compressing several inputs into numerous small outputs. The quality feature of these encoders is encoding the inputs just to make sure that only highest order lines are encoded. The result or output of the priority encoder should be a binary representation of ordinal numbers articulated in BCD format. In addition, these also manage interrupt requests through high priority request. Whenever there is more than one active input at same time, then highest priority input will be given more preference. One can find priority encoders in standard or normal IC form such as TTL 74LS147 or TTL 74LS148. Basically, the former encodes 9 datelines to 4 lines as in (8-4-2-1) BCD. And the latter expresses 8 datelines to 3 lines as in 4-2-1 (octal) binary. In order to provide octal expansion with no requirement of external circuitry, one needs Cascading Circuitry. Data inputs and data outputs are active even at low levels. Priority encoders find wide range of applications as in keyboard encoding, range selection,
Bit level encoding, code converters and generators.

What is an “Encoder” An encoder is a device or a combinational circuit that converts information from one format or code to another. Digital Encoder are more commonly called a Binary Encoder takes all its data inputs one at a time and then converts them into a single encoded output. An "n-bit" binary encoder has 2 n input lines and n-bit output lines
4 to 2 encoder
Priority Encoder: A priority encoder is a special type of encoder whose output corresponds to the currently active input which has the highest priority. So when an input with a higher priority is present, all other inputs with a lower priority will be ignored.
