## Most Significant Bit (MSB) Detector

The **Most Significant Bit (MSB)** detector circuit element outputs the bit position of the most significant bit of the input. In other words, it outputs the bit position of the rightmost bit. An enable output is also provided to show if the MSB detector is active. The bit position of the MSB is also shown in decimal form within the body of the MSB detector.
