Binary Codes

This document discusses different types of binary codes including weighted codes, non-weighted codes, alphanumeric codes, and error detecting/correcting codes. Weighted codes assign a specific weight to each digit position, examples include various BCD codes. Non-weighted codes do not assign fixed values based on bit position, examples given are excess-3 code and gray code. Alphanumeric codes represent numbers, letters, and other symbols using a code. Common codes discussed are ASCII and EBCDIC. Error detecting codes identify errors while error correcting codes can detect and fix errors during data transmission.

BINARY CODES

Outcome of this class


At the end of this class, you will be able to
understand the basics of binary codes.
What is binary code?

• Binary codes are the group of symbols which are used to encode the

numbers, alphabets or special characters by using a group of bits.


This group of bits is known as binary codes.
Classification of binary codes
Weighted codes
• Each digit position of the number represents a specific weight.
• There are different Binary coded Decimal(BCD) like 8421 code, 2421 code,
3321 code, 4221 code, 5211 code.
• In BCD, Each digit have 4 bits.
8 4 2 1
23 22 21 20

4 8 5 7
8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1
23 22 21 20 23 22 21 20 23 22 21 20 23 22 21 20
0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1
Contd.,
• Weighted code for 25 is 0010 0101.
Non-weighted codes
• no weight is assigned to any of the bit positions.

• Bits will not have any fixed value based on their position.

• Excess-3 code and gray code are the examples of non-weighted code.
Excess-3 code
• Excess-3 code is derived by simply adding 3 to each BCD number. It is
a non-weighted code and it is a sequential code and reflective code.

+ 0011 (3) =
Gray code
• Known as unit-distance code.

• This is because, bit patterns for every consecutive number

differ in only one bit position.


How to find a gray code from the given binary number?
Convert a binary number (101011)2 into its equivalent gray code.

Convert Gray to Binary.


Reflective codes
• A code is said to be reflective, if the code for any

number is the complement of any another number.


• For example, in excess-3 code, the code for 0 is

0011, whereas the code for 9 is 1100. Since 0011


and 1100 are complement of each other, the
number 9 and 0 are said to be reflective codes.
Sequential code

• In sequential codes, each succeeding code is one binary

number greater than its preceding code, which greatly


helps in manipulation of mathematical data.
• 8421 and excess-3 codes are sequential codes.
Alphanumeric codes
 As the name suggests, the codes which consists of both numbers and

alphabetic characters are called alphanumeric codes.


 consists of symbols to represent the 26 alphabets(including capital and small

letter), 0-9 numbers and other symbols.


 Most commonly used alphanumeric codes are.
 ASCII(American Standard code for Information Interchange) – 7 bit code

 EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) – 8 bit code

 Hollerith code
Error detecting and correcting codes
• Whenever a digital information is transmitted in a binary form from one

network or device to other network, there is a possibility of error to occur.


• This error means, the signal corresponding to 0 may change to 1 or vice

versa.
• There are codes which are used only to detect the error and are known as

error detecting codes


• codes which assist in detection and correction of errors are known as error

detecting and correcting codes.
