Gray Code & Binary Code

The document discusses the Gray code, which is an encoding scheme where only one bit changes between adjacent code words. This single bit change property makes it useful for applications like shaft encoders. It provides an example Gray code, explains how to convert between binary and Gray code, and gives examples of converting specific binary numbers to their equivalent Gray codes and vice versa.

The Gray Code

 The Gray code is unweighted and is not an arithmetic code.


 There are no specific weights assigned to the bit positions.
 Important: the Gray code exhibits only a single bit change from
one code word to the next in sequence.
 This property is important in many applications, such as shaft position
encoders.

The Gray Code
 Binary-to-Gray code conversion
 The MSB in the Gray code is the same as
corresponding MSB in the binary number.
 Going from left to right, add each adjacent pair of
binary code bits to get the next Gray code bit.
Discard carries.
ex: convert 101102 to Gray code
1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 binary

1 1 1 0 1 Gray
Find the equivalent gray code of given binary numbers 10101, 11101

 10101 Binary Code


1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 0 binary code

1 1 1 1 0 Gray code
 11101 Binary Code
1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 binary code

1 0 0 1 1 Gray code
The Gray Code
 Gray-to-Binary Conversion
 The MSB in the binary code is the same as the corresponding bit in
the Gray code.
 Add each binary code bit generated to the Gray code bit in the next
adjacent position. Discard carries.
ex: convert the Gray code word 11011 to binary
1 1 0 1 1 Gray
+ + + +
1 0 0 1 0 Binary
Covert the following gray code into binary code, 101011,1101, 10001

 101011 Gray code
