NUMBER SYSTEM

 NUMBER SYSTEM 

When we type some letters or words, the computer translates them in numbers as computers can understand only numbers. A computer can understand the positional number system where there are only a few symbols called digits and these symbols represent different values depending on the position they occupy in the number.

The value of each digit in a number can be determined using −

  • The digit

  • The position of the digit in the number

  • The base of the number system (where the base is defined as the total number of digits available in the number system)


DIFFERENT TYPE OF NUMBER SYSTEM;


The classification of numbers systems on the basis of base can be understood from the below diagram.

Number System

Number systemBaseUsed digits
Binary20,1
Octal80,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Decimal100,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Hexadecimal160,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, A,B,C,D,E,F     

    

1.BINARY NUMBER SYSTEM;

                 The modern computers do not process the decimal numbers.

       . They only work with a binary number system.

       . It uses only two digits 0 and 2. 

       . The base of binary number system is 2  because it has only two digits.  

       . The digital electronics equipment's are works on the binary number system.

2.DECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM;

         .The number system is having digit 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

         . Total ten digits are involved. So that base of the decimal number system is 10.

3.OCTAL NUMBER SYSTEM;

           .Uses eight digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. 

          . Also called '' base 8 number system''

          . Each position in an octal number represents a 0 power of the base (8)

4.HEXADECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM;

           .These4 numbers are used extensively in microprocessor.

              .The hexadecimal number system has a base of 16.

               .It consists of the following sixteen numbers of digits ( 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F )

               .Letters represents number starting from

                                        A=10
                                        B=11
                                        C=12
                                        D=13
                                        E=14
                                        F=15
                                        G=16

NUMBER SYSTEM CONVERSION

NUMBER BASE CONVERSION                     In our previous section, we learned different types of number systems such as binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal. In this part of the tutorial, we will learn how we can change a number from one number system to another number system. As, we have four types of number systems so each one can be converted into the remaining three systems. There are the following conversions possible in Number System Binary to other Number Systems. Decimal to other Number Systems. Octal to other Number Systems. Hexadecimal to other Number Systems.                                                                                                          ...

SEQUENTIAL GATES

 SEQUENTIAL GATES INTRODUCTION;                      A Sequential  logic circuits  is a form of the binary circuit; its design employs one or more inputs and one or more outputs, whose states are related to some definite rules that depend on previous states. Both the inputs and outputs can reach either of the two states: logic 0 (low) or logic 1 (high). In these circuits, their output depends, not only on the combination of the logic states at its inputs but moreover on the logic states that existed previously. In other words, their output depends on a SEQUENCE of the events occurring at the circuit inputs. Examples of such circuits include clocks, flip-flops, bi-stables, counters, memories, and registers. The actions of the circuits depend on the range of basic sub-circuits. SEQUENTIONAL LOGIC CIRCUIT;                            Sequential Logic C...

CONONICAL FORMS (SOP AND POS)

  CONONICAL FORMS The use of switching devices like transistors give rise to a special case of the Boolean algebra called as switching algebra. In switching algebra, all the variables assume one of the two values which are 0 and 1. In Boolean algebra, 0 is used to represent the ‘open’ state or ‘false’ state of logic gate. Similarly, 1 is used to represent the ‘closed’ state or ‘true’ state of logic gate. A Boolean expression is an expression which consists of variables, constants (0-false and 1-true) and logical operators which results in true or false. TWO TYPE OF CONONICAL FORMS; A Boolean function is an algebraic form of Boolean expression. A Boolean function of n-variables is represented by f(x1, x2, x3….xn). By using Boolean laws and theorems, we can simplify the Boolean functions of digital circuits. A brief note of different ways of representing a Boolean function is shown below. Sum-of-Products (SOP) Form Product-of-sums (POS) form Canonical forms There are two types of can...
