Let us take the example of a communication system. One would like to send 4 bits of data (a bit is a binary digit, which is simply a logic variable that accepts only two values: “0” and “1”). These 4 bits of data will correspond to 16 different possible levels (0000 to 1111). If we associate a number to each combination, then we will have 16 numbers from 0 to 15 (if using hexadecimal base, we have then the following digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F). The probability to have

For example; ADC_Value = 980 which can be represented in binary as 1111010100. Upon right shifting this value we get 11110101 which makes 245 in decimal. On the receiving end, upon multiplying by 4, we get 980 which gets plotted. This technique produces a maximum error of +/-3 which is negligible. The ADC module converts the incoming values into a digital value and saves it in a dedicated register ADC10MEM. The value of this register is first copied into UCA0TXBUF (After being converted into 8-bit)

Exercise 4.1 (4,7 & 18) 4.A wheel of fortune has the integers from 1 to 25 placed on it in a random manner. Show that regardless of how the numbers are positioned on the wheel, there are three adjacent numbers whose sum is at least 39. Adding all 25 inequalities, we find that 3∑_(i=1)^25▒xi = 3∑_(i=1)^25▒i < 25(39) = 975. But 3∑_(i=1)^25▒i=(25)(26)/2=325 gives us the contradiction that 988 = 3(325) < 975 7.

Perhaps the earliest device for working out sums was the abacus. This began as a clay tablet into which grooves were cut. Pebbles were then placed or taken away from grooves to perform addition and subtraction. (Our word calculation comes from the Latin word calculus meaning 'pebble'). Because the pebbles were likely to become mislaid, they were later replaced by beads threaded on to wires and mounted in a frame. By moving the beads backwards and forwards, addition, subtraction, division and multiplication

What is Gray code? From Wikipedia The reflected binary code, also known as Gray code after Frank Gray, is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only one bit. The reflected binary code was originally designed to prevent spurious output from electromechanical switches. Today, Gray codes are widely used to facilitate error correction in digital communications such as digital terrestrial television and some cable TV systems. One good way to explain the use of Gray

Introduction to Binary Numbers How Computers Store Numbers Computer systems are constructed of digital electronics. That means that their electronic circuits can exist in only one of two states: on or off. Most computer electronics use voltage levels to indicate their present state. For example, a transistor with five volts would be considered "on", while a transistor with no voltage would be considered "off." Not all computer hardware uses voltage, however. CD-ROM's, for example, use microscopic
