Abstract
Each channel of a priority encoder register is equipped with a latch for storing one bit of a binary data word. The channel of highest priority generates an output which is applied to encoding means which in turn generates a unique code. The channel output is also fed back to reset its associated latch to permit the channel of next highest priority to generate an output.
