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.
Summary
The column weights of decimal numbers are powers
of ten that increase from right to left beginning with 100 =1:
Decimal Numbers
…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 …

Summary
Decimal Numbers
Express the number 480.52 as the sum of values of each
digit.
(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
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
480.52 = (4 x 102) + (8 x 101) + (0 x 100) + (5 x 10-1) +(2 x 10-2)

Summary
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:
22 21 20. 2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 …

Summary
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

Summary
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.

Summary
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
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

Summary
Binary Addition
The rules for binary addition are
0 + 0 = 0 Sum = 0, carry = 0
0 + 1 = 0 Sum = 1, carry = 0
1 + 0 = 0 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 = 10 Sum = 1, carry = 1

Summary
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

Summary
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
00110110 (2’s complement)

Summary
Signed Binary Numbers
There are several ways to represent signed binary numbers.
In all cases, the MSB in a signed number is the sign bit, that
tells you if the number is positive or negative.
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

Summary
Signed Binary Numbers
Assuming that the sign bit = -128, show that 11000110 = -58
as a 2’s complement signed number:
1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0
Column weights: -128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1.
-128 +64 +4 +2 = -58
Negative numbers are written as the 2’s complement of the
corresponding positive number.
-58 = 11000110 (complement form)
Sign bit Magnitude bits
An easy way to read a signed number that uses this notation is to
assign the sign bit a column weight of -128 (for an 8-bit number).
Then add the column weights for the 1’s.
The negative number -58 is written as:

Summary
Floating Point Numbers
Express the speed of light, c, in single precision floating point
notation. (c = 0.2998 x 109)
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 Magnitude with MSB dropped
Biased exponent (+127)
In scientific notation, c = 1.001 1101 1110 1001 0101 1100 0000 x 228.
0 10011011 001 1101 1110 1001 0101 1100
In binary, c = 0001 0001 1101 1110 1001 0101 1100 00002.
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 =

Summary
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
00001111 = +15
00101101 = +45
00001110 = +14
11101111 = -17
11111101 = -3
11111111 = -1
11111000 = -8
11110111 = -9
1
Discard carry

Summary
01000000 = +128
01000001 = +129
10000001 = -126
10000001 = -127
10000001 = -127
100000010 = +2
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 an incorrect sign bit.
Two examples are:
Wrong! The answer is incorrect
and the sign bit has changed.
Discard carry

Rules for subtraction: 2’s complement the subtrahend and
add the numbers. Discard any final carries. The result is in

The table illustrates the
difference between straight binary and
BCD. BCD represents each decimal
digit with a 4-bit code. Notice that the
codes 1010 through 1111 are not used in
BCD.

Summary
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

Summary
Gray code
Gray code is an unweighted code
that has a single bit change between
one code word and the next in a
sequence. Gray code is used to

error can occur if more than one bit

Summary
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.

Summary
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.

Summary
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).
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.

Summary
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.
