ABSTRACT:
A priority encoder for encoding input data by scanning the input data in a predetermined direction, includes: a first voltage section for charging a plurality of output lines to a first voltage level; a plurality of switching elements connected to the plurality of the output lines, each of the plurality of switching elements being turned on in accordance with a value of the input data; and a second voltage section for charging a selected one of the plurality of output lines to a second voltage level different from the first voltage level, through the switching elements which are turned on.
