Digital Electronics – Module 1: Number Systems &

Codes (5 Mark Questions)

1. Explain different types of number systems used in digital electronics.


• Decimal Number System (Base 10): Uses digits 0–9; each position represents power of 10.

• Binary Number System (Base 2): Uses digits 0 and 1; fundamental system used in digital
circuits and computers.

• Octal Number System (Base 8): Uses digits 0–7; provides a shorter representation of binary
numbers.

• Hexadecimal Number System (Base 16): Uses digits 0–9 and letters A–F; widely used in
programming and memory addressing.

2. Explain Decimal to Binary conversion with example.


• Divide the decimal number by 2 repeatedly.

• Record the remainder at each step.

• Continue division until the quotient becomes 0.

• Write the remainders in reverse order to obtain the binary number.

• Example: 25■■ → 11001■.

3. Explain 1’s Complement and 2’s Complement.


• 1’s Complement: Invert all bits (0 becomes 1 and 1 becomes 0). Example: 1010 → 0101.

• 2’s Complement: Add 1 to the 1’s complement. Example: 1010 → 0101 + 1 = 0110.

• These complements simplify binary subtraction.

• Used to represent negative numbers in digital systems.

4. Explain Binary Coded Decimal (BCD).


• BCD represents each decimal digit using a 4-bit binary equivalent.

• Example: Decimal 25 → 2 = 0010 and 5 = 0101 → BCD = 0010 0101.

• Each digit is encoded separately.

• Used in calculators, digital clocks, and display systems.

5. Explain Weighted and Non■Weighted Codes.


• Weighted Codes: Each bit position has a fixed weight value (e.g., 8421 BCD code).

• Example: Decimal 5 → 0101 in 8421 code.

• Non■Weighted Codes: Bit positions do not have fixed weights.

• Example: Gray Code, where only one bit changes between successive values.

• Used in error reduction and digital communication.


6. Explain Parity Generator and Parity Checker.
• Parity Generator: Adds an extra parity bit to data before transmission.

• Even Parity: Total number of 1s in data becomes even.

• Odd Parity: Total number of 1s becomes odd.

• Parity Checker: Verifies received data and detects transmission errors.

7. Explain Alphanumeric Codes.


• Used to represent letters, numbers, and symbols in binary form.

• ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) uses 7 or 8 bits.

• EBCDIC is another coding system used mainly in IBM computers.

• Applications include keyboard input, data storage, and communication between computer
systems.
