Abstract
An encoder capable of making a processing time shorter, wherein the position of a first “1” bit seen from the MSB of digital data is output as a first bit encoded data and the second “1” bit is output as the second bit encoded data. A predetermined calculation is performed in parallel on the upper 8 bits of the digital data in the valid detector, the priority encoder, and the first valid bit mask unit, while a predetermined calculation is performed in parallel on the lower 8 bits in another priority encoder and another first valid bit mask unit.
