In Chapter 1, we discussed coding as a mapping between two sets of objects. In general, decoders are combinational circuits that are used as code converters. For example, the BCD-to-seven-segment decoder discussed in Section 4.4

the input (the input is 4 bits). The output of the decoder is chosen to display the equivalent decimal value on a seven-segment display. As a result, the decoder acts as a code converter. It converts a BCD code into a decimal code.
