What is the purpose of the Gray code in digital systems?
What is the purpose of the Gray code in digital systems?
- To complicate the representation of binary numbers
- To speed up the digital inputs in a circuit
- To represent a sequence of numbers with only one bit changing between successive numbers (correct)
- To increase the likelihood of a digital circuit misinterpreting changing inputs
When is the situation more prone to misinterpretation in digital systems?
When is the situation more prone to misinterpretation in digital systems?
- When the input conditions remain unchanged
- When the digital system is running at slow speeds
- When only one input condition is changing at a time
- When multiple input conditions are changing at the same time (correct)
