ENCODER & DECODER

ENCODER & DECODER

INTRODUCTION

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 saving space by shrinking size.

Examples

Media A compressor encodes data (e.g., audio/video/images) into a smaller form. An audio encoder may be capable of capturing, compressing and converting audio A video encoder may be capable of capturing, compressing and converting audio/video An email encoder secures online email addresses from email harvesters A PHTML encoder preserves script code logic in a secure format that is transparent to visitors on a web site A multiplexer combines multiple inputs into one output.

Job positions

A Data Entry Encoder may enter data from phone surveys in a coded format into a database. A Data Entry Encoder may enter payment amounts from legal tender documents from financial institutions into a database.

A Manual Encoder may manually scan code tags on baggage that were missed by an automated system.

Transducers

Transducers Transducers for encoding position or orientation: A rotary encoder converts rotary position to an analog (e.g., analog quadrature) or digital (e.g., digital quadrature, 32-bit parallel, or USB) electronic signal. A linear encoder similarly converts linear position to an electronic signal.

Telecommunications

A device used to change a signal (such as a bitstream) or data into a code. Encoder circuits A simple encoder assigns a binary code to an active input line.

Decoder

A decoder is a device which does the reverse operation of an encoder, undoing the encoding so that the original information can be retrieved.

The same method used to encode is usually just reversed in order to decode. It is a combinational circuit that converts binary information from n input lines to a maximum of 2n unique output lines.

Row select

Most kinds of random-access memory use a n-to-2n decoder to convert the selected address on the address bus to one of the row address select lines.

Encoder and decoder applications

A simple way to accomplish this is to use an encoder IC at the transmitter and a decoder IC at the receiver. The encoder generates serial codes that are automatically sent three times and must be received at least twice before data is accepted as valid by the decoder circuit.
