Abstract
An encoder which includes a flip-flop; a first, second and third NAND gate; a first and second inverter; and a first and second delay cell. The first inverter couples the flip-flop with the first NAND gate. The first delay cell couples the first NAND gate with the third NAND gate. The second inverter couples the second delay cell with the second NAND gate. Further, the second NAND gate couples the second inverter with the third NAND gate. The third NAND gate of the encoder produces a glitch-free encoded signal.
