3 Data Representation 3-1

 3-1 Data Types

 Binary information is stored in memory or processor registers
 Registers contain either data or control information
 Data are numbers and other binary-coded information
 Control information is a bit or a group of bits used to specify the sequence
of command signals
 Data types found in the registers of digital computers
 Numbers used in arithmetic computations
 Letters of the alphabet used in data processing
 Other discrete symbols used for specific purpose
» 위의 Number 와 Letter 이외 모두 , 예 ) gray code, error detection code, …
 Number Systems
 Base or Radix r system : uses distinct symbols for r digits
 Most common number system :Decimal, Binary, Octal, Hexadecimal
 Positional-value(weight) System : r2 r 1r0.r-1 r-2 r-3
» Multiply each digit by an integer power of r and then form he sum of all weighted
digits

8 7 4 (Decimal)

1000 0111 0100 (BCD)

 Only the four bit binary numbers from 0000 through 1001 are used
 Comparison of BCD and Binary

 3-2 Complements
 Complements are used in digital computers for simplifying the
subtraction operation and for logical manipulation
 There are two types of complements for base r system
 1) r’s complement 2) (r-1)’s complement
» Binary number : 2’s or 1’s complement
» Decimal number : 10’s or 9’s complement
N : given number
 (r-1)’s Complement r : base
 (r-1)’s Complement of N = (rn-1)-N n : digit number
» 9’s complement of N=546700
(106-1)-546700= (1000000-1)-546700= 999999-546700
= 453299 546700(N) + 453299(9’s com)
=999999
» 1’s complement of N=101101
(26-1)-101101= (1000000-1)-101101= 111111-101101
= 010010 101101(N) + 010010(1’s com)
=111111
 r’s Complement
 r’s Complement of N = rn-N
* r’s Complement
(r-1)’s Complement +1 =(rn-1)-N+1= rn-N
» 10’s complement of 2389= 7610+1= 7611
» 2’s complement of 1101100= 0010011+1= 0010100

 Subtraction of Unsigned Numbers (M-N), N0

 1) M + (rn-N)
 2) M  N : Discard end carry, Result = M-N
 3) M  N : No end carry, Result = - r’s complement of (N-M)

» Decimal Example)
M  N 72532(M) - 13250(N) = 59282 MN 13250(M) - 72532(N) = -59282
72532 13250
Discard + 86750 (10’s complement of 13250) + 27468 (10’s complement of 72532)
End Carry 1 59282 0 40718
No End Carry
Result = 59282 Result = -(10’s complement of 40718)
= -(59281+1) = -59282
» Binary Example)
X  Y 1010100(X) - 1000011(Y) = 0010001 XY 1000011(X) - 1010100(Y) = -0010001
1010100 1000011
+ 0111101 (2’s complement of 1000011) + 0101100 (2’s complement of 1010100)
1 0010001 0 1101111
Result = 0010001 Result = -(2’s complement of 1101111)
= -(0010000+1) = -0010001

*Numeric Data
1) Fixed Point
 3-3 Fixed-Point Representation 2) Floating Point

 Computers must represent everything with 1’s and 0’s, including the
sign of a number and fixed/floating point number
* 32.25
 Binary/Decimal Point 1) 0.25, 2) 32.0, 3) 32.25
 The position of the binary/decimal point is needed to represent fractions,
integers, or mixed integer-fraction number
 Two ways of specifying the position of the binary point in a register
 1) Fixed Point : the binary point is always fixed in one position
» A binary point in the extreme left of the register(Fraction : 0.xxxxx)
» A binary point in the extreme right of the register(Integer : xxxxx.0)
 The binary point is not actually present, but the number stored in the register is treated
as a fraction or as an integer
 2) Floating Point : the second register is used to designate the position of the
binary point in the first register(refer to 3-4) * MSB for Sign
 Integer Representation +14 -14 “0” is plus +
“1” is minus -

 Signed-magnitude representation 0 0001110 1 0001110
Common  Signed-1’s complement representation 0 0001110 1 1110001
 Signed-2’s complement representation

 Arithmetic Addition (-12) + (-13) = -25

 Addition Rules of Ordinary Arithmetic (+12) + (+13) = +25
» The signs are same : sign= common sign, result= add (+25) + (-37)
» The signs are different : sign= larger sign, result= larger-smaller = 37 - 25 = -12
 Addition Rules of the signed 2’s complement *Addition Exam)
» Add the two numbers including their sign bits + 6 00000110 - 6 11111010
» Discard any carry out of the sign bit position + 13 00001101 + 13 00001101
+ 19 00010011 + 7 00000111
 Arithmetic Subtraction
 Subtraction is changed to an Addition + 6 00000110 - 6 11111010
» (± A) - (+ B) = (± A) + (- B) - 13 11110011 - 13 11110011
- 7 11111001 - 19 11101101
» (± A) - ( - B) = (± A) + (+ B)
* Subtraction Exam) (- 6) - ( - 13) = +7
11111010 - 11110011 = 11111010 + 2’s comp of 11110011
Discard = 11111010 + 00001101
End Carry = 1 00000111 = +7

 Overflow
 Two numbers of n digits each are added and the sum occupies n+1 digits
 n + 1 bit cannot be accommodated in a register with a standard length of n
bits(many computer detect the occurrence of an overflow, and a
corresponding F/F is set)
Computer System Architecture Chap. 3 Data Representation Dept. of Info. Of Computer
 3-9

 Overflow
 An overflow may occur if the two numbers added are both positive or both
negative
» When two unsigned numbers are added
 an overflow is detected from the end carry out of the MSB position
» When two signed numbers are added * Overflow Exam)
out in out in
 the MSB always represents the sign
carries 0 1 carries 1 0
- the sign bit is treated as part of the number
+ 70 0 1000110 - 70 1 0111010
- the end carry does not indicate an overflow
+ 80 0 1010000 - 80 1 0110000
 Overflow Detection
+ 150 1 0010110 - 150 0 1101010
 Detected by observing the carry into the sign bit position and the carry out of
the sign bit position
 If these two carries are not equal, an overflow
*Decimal Exam) (+375) + (-240)
condition is produced(Exclusive-OR gate = 1) 375 + (10’s comp of 240)= 375 + 760
 Decimal Fixed-Point Representation
0 375 (0000 0011 0111 0101)
 A 4 bit decimal code requires four F/Fs +9 760 (1001 0111 0110 0000)
* Advantage * for each decimal digit 0 135 (0000 0001 0011 0101)
Computer I/O data  The representation of 4385 in BCD requires 16 F/Fs (0100 0011 1000 0101)
are generated by
people who use  The representation in decimal is wasting a considerable amount of storage
the decimal space and the circuits required to perform decimal arithmetic are more complex

 3-4 Floating-Point Representation

 The floating-point representation of a number has two parts
 1) Mantissa : signed, fixed-point number * Decimal + 6132.789
 2) Exponent : position of binary(decimal) point
Fraction Exponent
+0.6132789 +4
 Scientific notation : m x re (+0.6132789 x 10+4)
 m : mantissa, r : radix, e : exponent
Fraction Exponent
 Example : m x 2e = +(.1001110)2 x 2+4 01001110 000100
 Normalization
 Most significant digit of mantissa is nonzero

 3-5 Other Binary Codes

 Gray Code
 Gray code changes by only one bit (Tab. 3-5 4-bit Gray Code )
 용도 :
» The data must be converted into digital form before they can be used by a digital
computer(Analog to Digital Converter)
» The analog data are represented by the continuous change of a shaft
position(Rotary Encoder of Motor)

 Other Decimal Codes

 Binary codes for decimal digits require four bits. A few possibilities are shown
in Tab. 3-6
 Excess-3 Gray Code
» Gray code 로 BCD 표현 시 , 9 에서 0 으로 변하면 1101 에서 0000 으로 되어 3
비트가 동시에 변경되어 Tab. 3-5 에서 3 부터 12 까지 사용하면 0010 에서 101
0 되어 1 비트가 바뀜 .
 Self-Complementing : excess-3 code
» 9’s complement of a decimal number is easily obtained by 1’s
complement(=changing 1’s to 0’s and 0’s to 1’s) * Self-Complement Exam)
 Weighted Code : 2421 code 410 = 0111 (3-excess)
» The bits are multiplied by the weights, and the sum = 1000 ( 1’s comp)
of the weighted bits gives the decimal digit = 510 (3-excess in Tab. 3-6)
= 510( 9’s comp of 4)
 Other Alphanumeric Codes
 ASCII Code 에서 Tab. 3-4 이외 : p. 384, Tab. 11-1
» Format effector : Functional characters for controlling the layout of printing or
display devices(carriage return-CR, line feed-LF, horizontal tab-HT,…)
» Data communication flow control(acknowledge-ACK, escape-ESC, synchronous-
SYN,…)
 EBCDIC(Extended BCD Interchange Code)
» Used in IBM equipment( 제어 문자만 약간 다름 )

 Parity Bit
 An extra bit included with a binary message to make the total number of 1’s
either odd or even(Tab. 3-7)
 Even-parity method
 The value of the parity bit is chosen so that the total number of 1s (including
the parity bit) is an even number
1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1
Added parity bit
 Odd-parity method
 Exactly the same way except that the total number of 1s is an odd number

1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1
Added parity bit

Computer System Architecture Chap. 3 Data Representation Dept. of Info. Of Computer

 3-13

 Parity Generator/Checker
 At the sending end, the message is applied to a parity generator
 At the receiving end, all the incoming bits are applied to a parity checker

1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 “C” 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 ”B”
(Even-parity Generator) (Even-parity Checker)

 Can not tell which bit in error

 Can detect only single bit error(odd number of errors)
