Abstract

A circuit arrangement for determining and providing a first information I1−, that in a digital input word A B C D E comprising a first input bit A, a second input bit B, a third input bit C, a fourth input bit D and a fifth input bit E, at most only one of the five input bits A, B, C, D, E comprises the value 1 (“high”), a second information I2, that in the input word A B C D E exactly two of the five input bits A, B, C, D, E comprise the value 1 (“high”), a third information I3, that in the input word A B C D E exactly three of the five input bits A, B, C, D, E comprise the value 1 (“high”) and a fourth information I4+, that in the input word A B C D E at least four of the five input bits A, B, C, D, E comprise the value 1 (“high”).
