Study Notes

Number Systems

  • Digital circuits rely on binary numbers (0 and 1).
  • Decimal number system uses base 10.
    • Value of the nth digit from the right = nth digit × (base)n-1.
  • Binary number system uses base 2 (0 and 1).
  • Octal number system uses base 8 (0-7).
  • Hexadecimal number system uses base 16 (0-9, A-F).

Conversion Between Number Systems

  • Decimal to binary: Successive division by 2.
    • Remainders form the binary number.
  • Binary to decimal: Multiply each bit by 2n-1.
  • Decimal to octal: Successive division by 8.
  • Octal to decimal: Multiply each digit by 8n-1.
  • Decimal to hexadecimal: Successive division by 16.
  • Hexadecimal to decimal: Multiply each digit by 16n-1.
  • Binary to octal: Group binary digits in sets of 3, starting from the right, and replace with corresponding octal digit.
  • Octal to binary: Replace each octal digit with its 3-bit binary equivalent.
  • Binary to hexadecimal: Group binary digits in sets of 4, starting from the right, and replace with corresponding hexadecimal digit.
  • Hexadecimal to binary: Replace each hexadecimal digit with its 4-bit binary equivalent.

Complements

  • r's complement: rm - N
  • (r-1)'s complement: (rm - 1) - N (where m is the number of digits)
    • Useful for subtraction by adding the complement.
    • In binary, 1's complement flips 0s to 1s and 1s to 0s; 2's complement adds 1 to the 1's complement.
  • End-around carry: if the carryout to the most significant digit is needed, add it to the least significant digit.

Signed Number Representation

  • Sign-magnitude: Leftmost bit is the sign, remaining bits are the magnitude.
  • 1's complement: Representing a negative number by flipping the bits of its positive representation
  • 2's complement: Represent a negative number by taking the 1's complement and adding 1. Common in computers.

Other Topics

  • Numeric Codes: Used for representing numbers and non-numerical values in binary, including weighted and non-weighted codes.
  • Error detecting and correcting codes: Codes include parity codes.
  • Sequential codes: Successive codes differ by one bit.
  • Cyclic codes: Codes where successive code words differ by a single bit.
  • Reflective codes: In which the nth code words are mirror images of the code words from 0 to n-1 (e.g., Gray codes).
  • Self-complementing codes: Codes that can be inverted to represent the complement of the original number's representation.
