47F148D Encoder Truth Table (from data sheet)

This encoder accepts data from 8 active LOW inputs. Theretofore for relevant outputs
from encoder or relevant inputs for 7 segment driver, NOT gates were used.

Task 4
In task 3, used IC is 74F148D encoder and when looking at its outputs starting with zero (0).
But practically it should display one (1) in 7 segment display when activate input i 0 although
this ic is priority encoder
For choose most relevant IC for this situation:

74LS147D encoder:
Accepts data from 9 active LOW inputs, and 4 outputs. Most important part in
this is when activating LSB (i0) the output is different than 74F148D IC, which
is MSB-> H H H L <- LSB. That means when i0 activated the output of this
encoder is H H H L and after through NOT gates output is MSB-> L L L H <-
LSB , thus we can display 7 segment output value as 1.

*** After analyze above two ICS characteristics, the most relevant encoder is 74LS147D.
Task 5
The most significant encoder for this project is 74LS147D, which is priority encoder, that
means the priority is given to the most significant (MSB) input, therefore for an example
when if both i5 and i7 both activated, the priority is given to the i7. Therefore if more than
one inputs activated, only most priority input will be activate, in this case i8. So the MSB
switches can be arrange from most priority patients wards.
Simulation for above priority scenario:

Other reason for choosing this ic is it gives practical, relevant 7 segment output , such as if
patient ward 5 Switch is activated, the 7 segment output displays 5.
