2.1 Introduction to the Number System


A number system defines a set of symbols used to
represent quantity.
Quantifying values and items in relation to each
other is helpful us to make sense of our environment .
The study of number system is not just limited to
computers. We use numbers every day. A computer
manipulates and stores numbers inside the computer
system.

Why we learn it?

End Show

These

symbols
are
processed
internally by components that can
maintain a limited number of discrete
states.

To

represent these states we have to


use number systems.
Ex: The decimal digits 0,1,2, ..,9 provide
10 discrete symbols (10 digits)

Face Value and Place value

Weighing Factor The weighing factor is the multiplier


value applied to each column position of the number.
For instance, a decimal has a weighing factor of TEN,
in that each column on the immediate left indicates
an increase in value by a multiple of 10.

i.e.; each column moves to the left increasing by a


multiple of 10.

312 = 300 + 10 + 2
= 3 * 100 + 1 * 10 + 2 * 1

100

= 3 * 102 + 1 * 101 + 2 *

The binary number system is also known as
the base 2 number system.
The values of the positions are calculated by
raising 2 to some power.
Why is 2 the base in binary numbers?
Because we use 2 digits, the digits 0 and 1.

The binary number system is also a

positional numbering system.


Instead of using ten digits, 0 - 9, the binary
system uses only two digits, 0 and 1.

What is BIT (BINARY DIGIT)?

A bit is the smallest element of information


used in a computer
A bit holds ONE of TWO possible values,
A bit which is OFF is also considered to be FALSE or
NOT SET; a bit which is ON is also considered to be
TRUE or SET
Only one of two values(0 or 1) can be stored in a single
bit.

End Show
With a single bit, you can represent any two distinct
items.

on

What is Byte ?

End Show

Bytes are a grouping of 8 bits


A byte is the smallest addressable datum (data item) in
the memory by the microprocessor.

End Show

The bits in a byte are filled from LSB (b0) to MSB (b7)
respectively as follows:

b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
Most Significant Bit (MSB)

Least Significant Bit (LSB)

The Binary equivalent of the decimal number 205 is as


follows and the Most Significant Bit(MSB) and the Least
Significant Bit (LSB)can be defined as below :

1
MSB

1
LSB

End Show

Since a byte consists of eight bits, it can represent 28, or 256,


different values. Generally, we use a byte to represent:

Unsigned numeric values in the range 0 to 255

Signed numbers in the range -128 to +127

ASCII(American Standard Code for Information Interchange)


character codes

Other special data types requiring no more than 256


different values.

Many data types have fewer than 256 items so eight bits is
usually adequate.

BCD - Binary Corded Decimal

End Show

@ Binary Coded Decimal is a numerical code.


@ In this code structure, each of the decimal digits
(0-9) is represented by a four-bit binary code
(eg: 3 is represented by 0011)
@ Each digit is then represented by it's binary
equivalent.
@ 16 unique(different) numbers can be stored in the
4 bit binary code.
@ Thus there are 6 invalid four-bit combinations in
the BCD code.

Converting the Decimal value 546 to BCD
5 = 0101
4 = 0100
6 = 0110
Thus 54610 = 0101010001102

Converting the binary value 011100010101 to


decimal is
0111 = 7
0001 = 1
0101 = 5

Logic Gates and Circuits

Where are we?

End Show

End Show
A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit.
Most logic gates have two inputs and one output.
At any given moment, every terminal is in one of the two
binary conditions low (0) or high (1), represented by different
voltage levels.
In most logic gates, the low state is approximately zero volts
(0 V), while the high state is approximately five volts positive
(+5 V).
There are seven basic logic gates: AND, OR, XOR, NOT,
NAND, NOR, and XNOR.

End Show
Logic gates are small (several micron)
structures which take one or more bits
as input, and produce another bit as
output

Different logic gates use different


techniques to calculate their output

The most common logic gates used perform


the following logic functions:
AND : Output is True(1) if all inputs are True (1)
OR

: Output is False (0) if all inputs are False (0)

NOT : Output is the opposite of the single input


i.e., If input is true (1) the output is false (0)
If input is false (0) the output is true (1)

End Show

End Show

AND - Gate
The AND gate has two or more inputs.

The output from the AND gate is 1 if and only if all of the
inputs are 1, otherwise the output from the gate is 0.
The AND gate is drawn as follows

2.4 Boolean Algebra


George Boole

A set of rules formulated by the English


mathematician George Boole describe certain
propositions whose outcome would be either true
or false. With regard to digital logic, these rules
are used to describe circuits whose state can be
either, 1 (true) or 0 (false).
In order to fully understand this, the
relation between the AND gate, OR gate and NOT
gate operations should be appreciated.
