Question 4 of 21
Identify which diode is failed in this circuit, given the following truth table (showing the actual operation of the encoder circuit, not what it should do):

Switch position Output code
0 000
1 001
2 010
3 011
4 100
5 001
6 110
7 111
Be sure to specify whether you think the failed diode is open or shorted.Reveal answer
Notes:This question helps students understand the purpose of the diodes in this type of encoder circuit: to steer the power to the appropriate output lines, and only to those lines.
