The following technique is used to convert a decimal number to any number system. Technique Divide by ‘X’, where ‘X’ is the base/radix of the number system Keep track of the remainder Repeat the process till the quotient becomes ‘0’…
Any Number System to Decimal Conversion
The following technique is used to convert any number system to its equivalent decimal number. Technique Multiply each bit by Xn, where ‘X’ is the base and ‘n’ is the “weight” of the bit Add all the results to get…
Conversion of Number Systems
It is important to learn the techniques of converting one number system to another while studying digital electronics or digital computers. This is because, in our day-to-day life we use decimal number systems, while computers use either binary or hexadecimal…
Positional or Weighted Number System
The traditional number systems that we learned in school and use every day (decimal, binary, hexadecimal, octal etc.) are positional number systems. In such a system, a number is represented by a string of digits where each digit position has…
What is Radix or Base of a Number System?
The number of independent digits used in the number system is known as Radix or Base of the number system. Decimal: a radix-10 number system and therefore has 10 different digits or symbols. These are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,…
Representation of Number System
In this article, we will discuss the representation of the following number systems Decimal Binary Hexadecimal Octal Radix or Base of a Number System The number of independent digits used in the number system is known as Radix or Base…
What is an SoC in VLSI
In VLSI, an SoC is an integrated circuit that contains multiple functional blocks, such as processors, memory, interfaces, and peripherals, on a single chip. The main idea behind the SoC concept is to integrate as many components as possible into…
Introduction to Number System
In our day-to-day life, we generally use decimal number system for expressing any quantity. For example, when I go to an electronics shop for purchasing a mobile phone – I say that show me one good mobile phone in the…
Introduction to Digital Computer
The general-purpose digital computer is the best-known example of a digital system. Digital computers have been around since the 1940s, and have been in widespread commercial use since the 1960s. The most striking property of a digital computer is its…
What are Pilot Projects in VLSI
A pilot project in VLSI refers to a small-scale, initial implementation of a large system with the aim of testing its feasibility, viability and to gather information on the system’s behavior. The objective of a pilot project is to minimize…
