It is a special type of binary code that is not weighted (the digits that make up the
code do not have an assigned weight). Its characteristic is that among a combination of digits
and the following, whether it is previous or subsequent, there is only a difference of one digit, changing
only one digit ensures fewer chances of error.. That is why it is also called code
progressive.
This progression also occurs between the last and the first combination. That is why it is
also called cyclic code. When a binary number goes from: 0111 to 1000 (from 7 to 8 in
decimal) or from 1111 to 0000 (from 16 to 0 in decimal) all the digits change. For the same case
but in Gray code: 0100 to 1100 (from 7 to 8 in decimal) or from 1000 to 0000 (from 16 to 0 in
decimal) has only changed one digit
Method to convert a binary number to GRAY
To convert a binary number to Gray code, the following method is followed: (analyze the
next graph
1. The number in binary is added to itself, but the second addend must be shifted one.
digit on the right. See the graph.
2. A binary addition is performed digit by digit without considering the carry, and the result is obtained.
total sum.
3. The last digit on the right side of the previous result is removed (the zero is removed that
it is in red), to obtain the GRAY code.
Method to convert GRAY code to binary
The first digit of the Gray code will be the same as that of the binary code.
2. If the second digit of the Gray code is '0', the second binary digit is equal to the first digit.
binary, if this digit is '1' the second binary digit is the inverse of the first binary digit.
If the third digit of the Gray code is '0', the third binary digit is equal to the second digit.
binary, if this digit is '1', the third binary digit is the inverse of the second binary digit..... and
so until finished.
