Study Notes

Digital Electronics: Number Systems, Operations, and Codes

  • Covers binary numbers, decimal numbers, conversions, arithmetic, complements, signed numbers, hexadecimal, octal, BCD, and digital codes

Decimal Numbers

  • The decimal system has ten digits and a base of 10
  • In the number 23:
    • The digit 2 has a weight of 10, contributing 20 (2 x 10)
    • The digit 3 has a weight of 1, contributing 3 (3 x 1)

Binary Numbers

  • The binary system has two digits (bits) and a base of 2
  • Has a largest decimal number = 2^n - 1
  • With five bits, one can count from zero to thirty-one: 2^5 - 1 = 32 - 1 = 31
  • With six bits, one can count from zero to sixty-three: 2^6 - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63
  • LSB means least significant bit
  • MSB means most significant bit

Binary-to-Decimal Conversion

  • Example: Converting the binary whole number 1101101 to decimal
    • 1101101 = (1 x 2^6) + (1 x 2^5) + (0 x 2^4) + (1 x 2^3) + (1 x 2^2) + (0 x 2^1) + (1 x 2^0)
    • = 64 + 32 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 109
  • Example: Converting the fractional binary number 0.1011 to decimal
    • 0.1011 = (1 x 2^-1) + (0 x 2^-2) + (1 x 2^-3) + (1 x 2^-4)
    • = 0.5 + 0 + 0.125 + 0.0625 = 0.6875

Decimal-to-Binary Conversion

  • Using the Sum-of-Weights Method.
  • The binary number for decimal 9 is 1001
    • 9 = 8 + 1 = 2^3 + 2^0

Decimal-to-Binary Conversion: Repeated Division-by-2 Method

  • Stop dividing when the whole-number quotient is 0

Converting Decimal Fractions to Binary: Repeated Multiplication by 2

  • Continue to the desired number of decimal places
  • Stop when the fractional part is all zeros

Binary Arithmetic

  • 0 + 0 = 0 = Sum of 0 with a carry of 0
  • 0 + 1 = 1 = Sum of 1 with a carry of 0
  • 1 + 0 = 1 = Sum of 1 with a carry of 0
  • 1 + 1 = 10 = Sum of 0 with a carry of 1
  • Binary Subtraction example
    • 10 - 1 = 1 = 0 - 1 with a borrow of 1
  • In binary 10 - 1 = 1, not 9

Half Adder and Full Adder

  • They are digital circuits used for binary addition, differing in the number of inputs they take

Half Subtractor and Full Subtractor

  • They are digital circuits used for binary subtraction

Binary Multiplication and Division

  • Presents the four basic rules for multiplying bits
  • Shows examples of binary multiplication and division

Complements of Binary Numbers

  • The 1's complement and the 2's complement of a binary number are important because they permit the representation of negative numbers.
  • The method of 2's complement arithmetic is commonly used in computers to handle negative numbers.

Finding the 1's Complement

  • Found by changing all 1's to 0's and all 0's to 1's

Finding the 2's Complement

  • The 2's complement is found by adding 1 to the LSB of the 1's complement

Alternative Method for Finding the 2's Complement

  • Start at the right LSB and write the bits as they are up to and including the first 1
  • Take the 1's complements of the remaining bits

Signed Numbers

  • Two main types: unsigned and signed representations
    • Signed numbers can be represented in sign-magnitude, 1's complement, or 2's complement form
  • The leftmost bit in a signed binary number is the sign bit; 0 means positive, and 1 means negative

Sign-Magnitude Form

  • The decimal number +25 is expressed as 00011001 (8-bit signed binary)
  • The decimal number -25 is expressed as 10011001 (8-bit signed binary)

Range of Signed Integer Numbers

  • In 2's-complement, there are eight positive numbers (including one zero) and eight negative numbers.
  • In signed-magnitude and 1's-complement, there are eight positive/negative numbers (including two zeros)

The Decimal Value of Signed Numbers

  • Shows how to determine this for numbers expressed in sign-magnitude or 1's complement

Arithmetic Operations with Binary Signed Numbers (2's Complement)

  • Two numbers in addition: addend and augend, the result is the sum
  • In 2'S Compliment form: Both Positive or Negative numbers must discard carry
  • There is both arithmetic addition with signed-2's-complement subtraction and subtraction using 2's complement
