A high-speed and low-power encoder and an encoding method, wherein the encoder includes a switching unit for receiving a thermal code of a predetermined number of bits received in series, and outputting one bit among the received bits as a most significant bit and the other bits in parallel, and an encoder for dividing the bits received from the switching unit in parallel into groups having a predetermined number of bits, encoding the bits in each group into a predetermined number of bits, selecting one group of encoded bits using bits not used by the groups, and outputting least significant bits together with the most significant bit output from the switching unit.
