 1.5 Complements
 There are two types of complements for each base-r system: the radix complement and
diminished radix complement.
 Diminished Radix Complement : (r-1)’s Complement
 Given a number N in base r having n digits, the (r–1)‟s complement of N is
defined as:
(rn –1) – N
 Example for 6-digit decimal numbers:
 9‟s complement is (rn – 1)–N = (106–1)–N = 999999–N
 9‟s complement of 546700 is 999999–546700 = 453299
 Example for 7-digit binary numbers:
 1‟s complement is (rn – 1) – N = (27–1)–N = 1111111–N
 1‟s complement of 1011000 is 1111111–1011000 = 0100111
 Observation:
 Subtraction from (rn – 1) will never require a borrow
 Diminished radix complement can be computed digit-by-digit
 For binary: 1 – 0 = 1 and 1 – 1 = 0 Digital Logic Design Ch1-20

 Complements

 Radix Complement

The r's complement of an n-digit number N in base r is defined as

rn – N for N ≠ 0 and as 0 for N = 0. Comparing with the (r  1) 's
complement, we note that the r's complement is obtained by adding 1
to the (r  1) 's complement, since rn – N = [(rn  1) – N] + 1.

 Example: Base-10

The 10's complement of 012398 is 987602

The 10's complement of 246700 is 753300

 Example: Base-2

The 2's complement of 1101100 is 0010100

The 2's complement of 0110111 is 1001001

 Complements

 Subtraction with Complements

 The subtraction of two n-digit unsigned numbers M – N in base r can be
done as follows:

Digital Logic Design Ch1-24

 Complements

 Example 1.5
 Using 10's complement, subtract 72532 – 3250.

 Example 1.6
 Using 10's complement, subtract 3250 – 72532.

There is no end carry.

Therefore, the answer is – (10's complement of 30718) =  69282.

Digital Logic Design Ch1-25
 Complements

 Example 1.7
 Given the two binary numbers X = 1010100 and Y = 1000011, perform the
subtraction (a) X – Y ; and (b) Y  X, by using 2's complement.

There is no end carry.

Therefore, the answer is
Y – X =  (2's complement
of 1101111) =  0010001.

Digital Logic Design Ch1-26

 Complements

 Subtraction of unsigned numbers can also be done by means of the (r  1)'s

complement. Remember that the (r  1) 's complement is one less then the r's
complement.
 Example 1.8
 Repeat Example 1.7, but this time using 1's complement.

There is no end carry,

Therefore, the answer is Y –
X =  (1's complement of
1101110) =  0010001.

 1.6 Signed Binary Numbers

 To represent negative integers, we need a notation for negative

values.
 It is customary to represent the sign with a bit placed in the
leftmost position of the number since binary digits.
 The convention is to make the sign bit 0 for positive and 1 for
negative.
 Example:

 Table 1.3 lists all possible four-bit signed binary numbers in the
three representations.

Signed Binary Numbers

 Signed Binary Numbers
 Arithmetic addition
 The addition of two numbers in the signed-magnitude system follows the rules of
ordinary arithmetic. If the signs are the same, we add the two magnitudes and
give the sum the common sign. If the signs are different, we subtract the smaller
magnitude from the larger and give the difference the sign if the larger magnitude.
 The addition of two signed binary numbers with negative numbers represented in
signed-2's-complement form is obtained from the addition of the two numbers,
including their sign bits.
 A carry out of the sign-bit position is discarded.

 Example:

 Signed Binary Numbers

 Arithmetic Subtraction
 In 2‟s-complement form:
1. Take the 2‟s complement of the subtrahend (including the sign bit)
and add it to the minuend (including sign bit).
2. A carry out of sign-bit position is discarded.

 1.7 Binary Codes

 BCD Code
 A number with k decimal digits will
require 4k bits in BCD.
 Decimal 396 is represented in BCD
with 12bits as 0011 1001 0110, with
each group of 4 bits representing one
decimal digit.
 A decimal number in BCD is the
same as its equivalent binary number
only when the number is between 0
and 9.
 The binary combinations 1010
through 1111 are not used and have
no meaning in BCD.

 ASCII Character Codes

 American Standard Code for Information Interchange (Refer to

Table 1.7)
 A popular code used to represent information sent as character-
based data.
 It uses 7-bits to represent:
 94 Graphic printing characters.
 34 Non-printing characters.
 Some non-printing characters are used for text format (e.g. BS =
Backspace, CR = carriage return).
 Other non-printing characters are used for record marking and
flow control (e.g. STX and ETX start and end text areas).

Digital Logic Design Ch1-39

 ASCII Properties

 ASCII has some interesting properties:

 Digits 0 to 9 span Hexadecimal values 3016 to 3916
 Upper case A-Z span 4116 to 5A16
 Lower case a-z span 6116 to 7A16
» Lower to upper case translation (and vice versa) occurs by flipping bit 6.

Digital Logic Design Ch1-40

 Binary Codes

 Error-Detecting Code
 To detect errors in data communication and processing, an eighth bit is
sometimes added to the ASCII character to indicate its parity.
 A parity bit is an extra bit included with a message to make the total
number of 1's either even or odd.
 Example:
 Consider the following two characters and their even and odd parity:

Digital Logic Design Ch1-41

 Binary Codes

 Error-Detecting Code
 Redundancy (e.g. extra information), in the form of extra bits, can be
incorporated into binary code words to detect and correct errors.
 A simple form of redundancy is parity, an extra bit appended onto the code
word to make the number of 1‟s odd or even. Parity can detect all single-
bit errors and some multiple-bit errors.
 A code word has even parity if the number of 1‟s in the code word is even.
 A code word has odd parity if the number of 1‟s in the code word is odd.
 Example:

Message A: 100010011 (even parity)

Message B: 10001001 0 (odd parity)

 Definition of Binary Logic
 Binary logic consists of binary variables and a set of logical operations.

 The variables are designated by letters of the alphabet, such as A, B, C, x, y, z, etc,

with each variable having two and only two distinct possible values: 1 and 0,
 Three basic logical operations: AND, OR, and NOT.
