Positional number systems

Any Decimal Number D Can Be Represented as the
Following:

D = dp-1 dp-2 ... d1 d0 . d-1 d-2 ... d-n

 d
i  n
i  ri Extending to：
D2 = ∑ d i × 2i

the radix may be any integer r≥2
Use a subscript to indicate the radix of each number 5

Examples of positional number system

Decimal system:
base is 10, the digit may be 0 to 9

2’s Complement and 1’s Complement

• Method of complements is a technique used
to subtract one number from another using
only addition

– Subtraction:
A – B = A + (-B) = A + Complement of B

19

2’s Complement and 1’s Complement

• 1’s Complement
– Convert all 0s to 1s and all 1s to 0s
• 2’s Complement
– Method 1: n bits, -A = 2(n-1) – A
– Method 2: -A = 1’s complement of A + 1

For 8 bits,
27 = 1000 0000

• Ranges of different n bits binary representations:

• Unsigned number, from 0 to +(2n-1)
• Signed 1’s complement, from –(2(n-1)-1) to +(2(n-1)-1), with 2 zeros
• Signed 2’s complement, from –(2(n-1)) to +(2(n-1)-1)

21

Addition and Subtraction

• Addition
– 1’s Complement: add carry bit to the result
– 2’s Complement: discard carry bit

• Subtraction
– 1’s Complement: A – B = A + 1’s Complement of B
– 2’s Complement: A – B = A + 2’s Complement of B

22

1’s Complement
• Addition
– 1’s Complement: add carry bit to the result

• Subtraction
– Take 1’s complement of the subtrahend
– Add with the minuend
– If the result of the above addition has carry bit, then
add it to the LSB
– If there is no carry bit 1, then take 1’s complement of
the result which will be negative

23

Overflow
• If the result of a n-bit arithmetic operation is too large
to fit into the resultant n-bit, then arithmetic overflow
occurs.
• Therefore:
– Adding two positive numbers must give a positive result
– Adding two negative numbers must give a negative result
– Overflow (when correct representation of the result
requires more than n bits)
– Sum of two positive numbers yields a negative result or
sum of two negative numbers yields a positive result
– The carry out of the sign position is not equal to the carry
into the sign position

Binary Codes
• ASCII (American Standard Code for
Information Interchange)
– Uses 7 bits to represent 94 graphics printing
characters and 34 control characters
– Extended ASCII (8 bits) include more graphic
characters

31

Parity Bit
• An extra bit is added to make the sum of ‘1’s
even or odd.
• Parity can be used to detect odd number of
bits in error, but cannot correct any error

with even parity and group the coded word into
16-bit segments

between
‘H’ and ‘2’

33

Logic Gates
• AND gate: output is 1 only when all inputs are
1’s
• OR gate: output is 0 only when all inputs are
0’s
• XOR gate: output is 1 only when two inputs
are different
• NOT gate, NOR gate, NAND gate …

Boolean Theorems
• Elements : true or false ( 1, 0)
• Operations: a OR b; a AND b, NOT a
e.g.
0 OR 1 = 1 0 OR 0 = 0
1 AND 1 = 1 1 AND 0 = 0
NOT 0 = 1 NOT 1 = 0
