Information:
The priority encoder is very unique device. Not only can it determine which active match-line has the highest rank or "priority," but it will also translate the memory location of that match line into binary.

Specs:
Speed: 15ns
Size: 600 x 822 lambda

# transistors: 294
# drawn trans: 36
replication factor: 8x
active area vs. routing area: 24356/464992 = 5.24%
total area/block: 489348 lambda sq.
area vs # trans: 42.75 lambda sq / tran.
power consumption: 48 E -12 W
design time: n/a

Modifications:
None.
