Binary Addition

  • The Column Addition of binary digits in binary base

Binary Subtraction

  • This requires borrowing a "Base" when needed.

Binary Multiplication

  • It's conducted bit by bit

Number Base Conversions

  • Evaluate magnitude to convert between number bases like octal, decimal, binary, and hexadecimal.

Decimal to Binary Conversion

  • To convert from Decimal(Integer) to Binary, divide the number by the 'Base' (=2), take the remainder (either 0 or 1) as a coefficient and take the quotient and repeat the division
  • To convert from Decimal(Fraction) to Binary, multiply the number by the ‘Base’ (=2), take the integer (either 0 or 1) as a coefficient, take the resultant fraction and repeat the division

Decimal to Octal Conversion

  • To convert from Decimal to Octal, divide the number by the base 8, take remainder as coefficient and repeat division with quotient
  • To convert decimal fraction to octal, multiply by 8, take integer as coefficient and repeat with fraction

Binary to Octal Conversion

  • Since 8 = 23, each group of 3 bits represents an octal digit.
  • This works both ways: Binary to Octal & Octal to Binary.

Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion

  • Since 16 = 24, each group of 4 bits represents a hexadecimal digit.
  • This works both ways: Binary to Hex & Hex to Binary.

Octal to Hexadecimal Conversion

  • An intermediate step requires a conversion to binary
  • This works both ways (Octal to Hex & Hex to Octal)

Complements

  • Two types for each base-r system: radix and diminished radix complement.

Diminished Radix Complement

  • (r-1)'s Complement.
  • Given a number N in base r of n digits, (rn-1) - N is the (r-1)'s complement of N.
  • For 6-digit decimal numbers, the 9's complement is (106 - 1) - N = 999999 - N.
  • The 9’s complement of 546700 is 999999 – 546700 = 453299.
  • For 7-digit binary numbers, the 1's complement is (27 – 1) – N = 1111111 – N.
  • The 1’s complement of 1011000 is 1111111–1011000 = 0100111.
  • Subtraction from (rn – 1) will never require a borrow, making it possible to compute diminishing radix by digit.
  • For binary: 1 - 0 = 1 and 1 - 1 = 0.
  • In 1’s complement all 0’s become 1’s and vice versa.

Radix Complement

  • The r's complement of an n-digit number N in base r is rn - N for N ≠ 0 and as 0 for N = 0.
  • obtained by adding 1 to the (r  1) 's complement, since rn – N = [(rn  1) – N] + 1.
  • The 10's complement of 012398 is 987602 and the 10's complement of 246700 is 753300.
  • The 2's complement of 1101100 is 0010100 and the 2's complement of 0110111 is 1001001.

Subtraction with Complements

  • Subtracting using 1s complement requires that we determine the 1s complement of the smaller number, then add the 1s complement to the larger number, then remove the final carry to add it to the result.
  • Subtracting using 2s complement involves determining the 2s complement of the smaller number, then adding the 2s complement to the larger number, before discarding the final carry

Signed Binary Numbers

  • Sign is represented with a bit placed in the leftmost position, with 0 positive and 1 negative.

Binary Codes

  • A number with k decimal digits requires 4k bits in BCD
  • Decimal 396 is 0011 1001 0110, with each group of 4 bits representing one decimal digit.
  • A decimal number in BCD matches the equivalent binary number only when in the 0-9 range.
  • Only binary combinations (0-9) are used; 1010-1111 have no BCD meaning.

Other Decimal Codes

  • There are other decimal codes, such as BCD 8421, 2421, Excess-3, 8,4, -2, -1.

Gray Code

  • Advantage is that only one bit in the code group changes when going from one number to the next.
  • It is used for error detection, and representation of analog data, lowering power design.

ASCII

  • The American Standard Code for Information Interchange is the character code.

Definition of Binary Logic

  • Binary logic uses binary variables and a set of logical operations.
  • Variables are letters like A, B, C, x, y, z, etc having two distinct values: 1 and 0.
  • Three basic operations: AND, OR, and NOT.
  • AND: a dot (.) or absence of operator; x · y = z or xy = z means z = 1 only if x = 1 and y = 1; otherwise z = 0.
  • OR: represented by a plus sign; x + y = z means z = 1 if x = 1 or y = 1 or both, and z = 0 only if both are 0.
  • NOT: prime or overbar; x' = z (or x = z) means z is not x; if x = 1, then z = 0, and if x = 0, then z = 1.

Binary Logic Gates

  • The truth tables, boolean expressions, and logic gates apply to AND, OR, and NOT.
  • A graphic symbol shows input/output signals for Logic gates.
