Digital Systems can process, store, and transmit data more


efficiently but can only assign discrete values to each point.
Analog and Digital Systems

Many systems use a mixture of analog and digital electronics to take


advantage of each technology. A typical CD player accepts digital data
from the CD drive and converts it to an analog signal for amplification.

Binary Digits and Logic Levels

Digital electronics uses circuits that have two states, which


are represented by two different voltage levels called HIGH
and LOW. The voltages represent numbers in the binary
system.
VH(max)
In binary, a single number is HIGH
called a bit (for binary digit). A VH(min)

bit can have the value of either Invalid


VL(max)
a 0 or a 1, depending on if the
voltage is HIGH or LOW. LOW
VL(min)
Digital Waveforms

Digital waveforms change between the LOW and HIGH


levels. A positive going pulse is one that goes from a
normally LOW logic level to a HIGH level and then back
again. Digital waveforms are made up of a series of pulses.

Decimal Numbers

The position of each digit in a weighted number


system is assigned a weight based on the base or radix of the
system. The radix of decimal numbers is ten, because only
ten symbols (0 through 9) are used to represent any number.

The column weights of decimal numbers are powers


of ten that increase from right to left beginning with 100 =1:

… 105 104 103 102 101 100


For fractional decimal numbers, the column weights
are negative powers of ten that decrease from left to right:
… 102 101 100. 10-1 10-2 10-3 10-4 …

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 22


Decimal Numbers

Decimal numbers can be expressed as the sum of the


products of each digit times the column value for that digit.
Thus, the number 9240 can be expressed as
(9 x 103) + (2 x 102) + (4 x 101) + (0 x 100)
or
9 x 1,000 + 2 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 0 x 1
Express the number 480.52 as the sum of values of each
digit.

480.52 = (4 x 102) + (8 x 101) + (0 x 100) + (5 x 10-1) +(2 x 10-2)

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 23


Binary Numbers

For digital systems, the binary number system is used.


Binary has a radix of two and uses the digits 0 and 1 to
represent quantities.
The column weights of binary numbers are powers of
two that increase from right to left beginning with 20 =1:
… 25 24 23 22 21 20
For fractional binary numbers, the column weights
are negative powers of two that decrease from left to right:
2n-1… 22 21 20. 2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 … 2n

Binary Conversions

The decimal equivalent of a binary number can be


determined by adding the column values of all of the bits
that are 1 and discarding all of the bits that are 0.
Convert the binary number 100101.01 to decimal.
Start by writing the column weights; then add the
weights that correspond to each 1 in the number.
25 24 23 22 21 20. 2-1 2-2
32 16 8 4 2 1 . ½ ¼
1 0 0 1 0 1. 0 1

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 26


Binary Conversions

You can convert a decimal whole number to binary by


reversing the procedure. Write the decimal weight of each
column and place 1’s in the columns that sum to the decimal
number.
Convert the decimal number 49 to binary.
The column weights double in each position to the
right. Write down column weights until the last
number is larger than the one you want to convert.

Binary Conversions

You can convert a decimal fraction to binary by repeatedly


multiplying the fractional results of successive
multiplications by 2. The carries form the binary number.
Convert the decimal fraction 0.188 to binary by
repeatedly multiplying the fractional results by 2.
0.188 x 2 = 0.376 carry = 0 MSB
0.376 x 2 = 0.752 carry = 0
0.752 x 2 = 1.504 carry = 1
0.504 x 2 = 1.008 carry = 1
0.008 x 2 = 0.016 carry = 0
Answer = .00110 (for five significant digits)

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 28


Binary Conversions

You can convert decimal to any other base by repeatedly


dividing by the base. For binary, repeatedly divide by 2:
Convert the decimal number 49 to binary by
repeatedly dividing by 2.
You can do this by “reverse division” and the
answer will read from left to right. Put quotients to

Binary Arithmetic

Binary Addition
The rules for binary addition are
0+0=0 Sum = 0, carry = 0
0+1=1 Sum = 1, carry = 0
1+0=1 Sum = 1, carry = 0
1 + 1 = 10 Sum = 0, carry = 1
When an input carry = 1 due to a previous result, the rules
are
1 + 0 + 0 = 01 Sum = 1, carry = 0
1 + 0 + 1 = 10 Sum = 0, carry = 1
1 + 1 + 0 = 10 Sum = 0, carry = 1
1 + 1 + 1 = 11 Sum = 1, carry = 1

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 32


1’s Complement

The 1’s complement of a binary number is just the inverse


of the digits. To form the 1’s complement, change all 0’s to
1’s and all 1’s to 0’s.
For example, the 1’s complement of 11001010 is
00110101
In digital circuits, the 1’s complement is formed by using
inverters:
1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0

0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 33


2’s Complement

The 2’s complement of a binary number is found by


adding 1 to the LSB of the 1’s complement.
Recall that the 1’s complement of 11001010 is
00110101 (1’s complement)
To form the 2’s complement, add 1: +1

representation of negative numbers

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 35


Signed Binary Numbers

There are several ways to represent signed binary numbers.


1. Sign-Magnitude Form (the least used method)
2. 1’s complement
3. 2’s complement (the most used method)
In all cases, the MSB in a signed number is the sign bit,
that tells you if the number is positive or negative.
0 indicates +ve number 1 indicates –ve number
Note: Please see Ex. 2-14 page 61

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 36


Signed Binary Numbers

Computers use a modified 2’s complement for


signed numbers. Positive numbers are stored in true form
(with a 0 for the sign bit) and negative numbers are stored
in complement form (with a 1 for the sign bit).

For example, the positive number 58 is written using 8-bits as


00111010 (true form).

Sign bit Magnitude bits

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 37


The decimal value of -ve Numbers
•Sign magnitude: sum the weights where there are 1’s in
the magnitude bit positions
•1’s compl.: sum the weights where there are 1’s and add
1 to the result. (give a negative sign to the sign bit)
•2’s compl. : sum the weights where there are 1’s while
giving a negative value to the weight of the sign bit
See Ex. 2-15, 2-16 and 2-17

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 38


Range of signed integer numbers
• To find the # of diff. combinations of n bits:
Total combinations = 2n
For 2’s compl. Range= -(2n-1) to +(2n-1-1)
ex. n=4, Range= -(23)= -8 to 23-1=+7

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 39


Floating Point Numbers

Floating point notation is capable of representing very


large or small numbers by using a form of scientific
notation. A 32-bit single precision number is illustrated.
S E (8 bits) F (23 bits)
Sign bit Biased exponent (+127) Magnitude with MSB dropped
Express the speed of light, c, in single precision floating point
notation. (c = 0.2998 x 109)
In binary, c = 0001 0001 1101 1110 1001 0101 1100 00002.
In scientific notation, c = 1.001 1101 1110 1001 0101 1100 0000 x 228.
S = 0 because the number is positive. E = 28 + 127 = 15510 = 1001 10112.
F is the next 23 bits after the first 1 is dropped.
In floating point notation, c = 0 10011011 001 1101 1110 1001 0101 1100

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 40


Arithmetic Operations with Signed Numbers
Using the signed number notation with negative
numbers in 2’s complement form simplifies addition
and subtraction of signed numbers.
Rules for addition: Add the two signed numbers. Discard
any final carries. The result is in signed form.
Examples:
00011110 = +30 00001110 = +14 11111111 = 1
00001111 = +15 11101111 = 17 11111000 = 8
00101101 = +45 11111101 = 3 111110111 = 9
Discard carry

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 41


Arithmetic Operations with Signed Numbers

Note that if the number of bits required for the answer is


exceeded, overflow will occur. This occurs only if both
numbers have the same sign. The overflow will be
indicated by a sign bit of the result different than the sign
bit of the two added numbers. Two examples are:

01000000 = +128 10000001 = 127


01000001 = +129 10000001 = 127
10000001 = 126 Discard carry 100000010 = +2

Wrong! The answer is incorrect


and the sign bit has changed.

Floyd, Digital Fundamentals, 10th ed Slide 42


Arithmetic Operations with Signed Numbers
Rules for subtraction: 2’s complement the subtrahend and
add the numbers. Discard any final carries. The result is in
signed form.
Repeat the examples done previously, but subtract:
00011110 (+30) 00001110 (+14) 11111111 (1)
 00001111 –(+15)  11101111 –(17)  11111000 –(8)
2’s complement subtrahend and add:
00011110 = +30 00001110 = +14 11111111 = 1
11110001 = 15 00010001 = +17 00001000 = 8
100001111 = +15 00011111 = +31 100000111 = +7

Binary coded decimal (BCD) is a 2 0010 0010
weighted code that is commonly 3 0011 0011
used in digital systems when it is 4 0100 0100
5 0101 0101
necessary to show decimal 6 0110 0110
numbers such as in clock displays. 7 0111 0111

difference between straight binary and 9 1001 1001
BCD. BCD represents each decimal 10 1010 00010000
digit with a 4-bit code. Notice that the 11 1011 00010001
codes 1010 through 1111 are not used in 12 1100 00010010

BCD

You can think of BCD in terms of column weights in


groups of four bits. For an 8-bit BCD number, the column
weights are: 80 40 20 10 8 4 2 1.
What are the column weights for the BCD number
1000 0011 0101 1001?

8000 4000 2000 1000 800 400 200 100 80 40 20 10 8 4 2 1


Note that you could add the column weights where there is
a 1 to obtain the decimal number. For this case:
8000 + 200 +100 + 40 + 10 + 8 +1 = 835910

Gray code
A shaft encoder is a typical application. Three IR
emitter/detectors are used to encode the position of the shaft.
The encoder on the left uses binary and can have three bits
change together, creating a potential error. The encoder on the
right uses gray code and only 1-bit changes, eliminating
potential errors.

ASCII

ASCII is a code for alphanumeric characters and control


characters. In its original form, ASCII encoded 128
characters and symbols using 7-bits. The first 32 characters
are control characters, that are based on obsolete teletype
requirements, so these characters are generally assigned to
other functions in modern usage.
In 1981, IBM introduced extended ASCII, which is an 8-
bit code and increased the character set to 256. Other
extended sets (such as Unicode) have been introduced to
handle characters in languages other than English.

Parity Method
The parity method is a method of error detection for
simple transmission errors involving one bit (or an odd
number of bits). A parity bit is an “extra” bit attached to
a group of bits to force the number of 1’s to be either
even (even parity) or odd (odd parity). It can be attached
to the code at either the beginning or the end, depending
on system design.

The ASCII character for “a” is 1100001 and for “A” is


1000001. What is the correct bit to append to make both of
these have odd parity?
The ASCII “a” has an odd number of bits that are equal to 1;
therefore the parity bit is 0. The ASCII “A” has an even
number of bits that are equal to 1; therefore the parity bit is 1.

Cyclic Redundancy Check
The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error detection method
that can detect multiple errors in larger blocks of data. At the
sending end, a checksum is appended to a block of data. At the
receiving end, the check sum is generated and compared to the sent
checksum. If the check sums are the same, no error is detected.
