Correct description of "En" output for Priority Encoder #378

Open TobiasKappe opened 5 months ago

TobiasKappe commented 5 months ago

The "En" port was described as an input to the priority encoder, when really it is an output that indicates whether the input is not all zero (and hence the outputs Tn are not meaningful).

The circuit shown in the iframe also needs to be updated, but I cannot do that. Right now, it connects an input to the En port, which triggers a contention error.

Ref CircuitVerse#1718: This issue was spotted quite a while ago, but the proposed fix changed the name of the output port, and was rejected. This change merely documents the status quo, which I think is necessary - multiple students of mine were confused by the documentation!
