 BCD – Binary Coded Decimal
◼ BCD is a convention for mapping binary numbers
to decimal numbers & for Decimal to binary
numbers.
◼ When the decimal numbers are represented in BCD,
each decimal digit is represented by the equivalent
BCD code.
◼ Example :BCD Representation of Decimal 6349
6 3 4 9

0110 0011 0100 1001

 0-9 decimal digits need to be represented in a
binary code which must contain at least four
bits.
› Four bits can make upto 16 different
combinations.
› Only first 10 combinations are used. (0-9)
BCD is different from binary representation.
› 15 in binary is 1111

 Extended BCD Interchange Code
8-bit code
It contains the numbers from 0 to 28-1
Developed by IBM
Rarely used today
IBM mainframes only

 We need a mechanism of correcting the errors
that occur
It is not always possible or may prove to be
expensive
It is necessary to know if an error occurred
If an occurrence of error is known, data may
be retransmitted
Data integrity is improved by encoding
Encoding may be done for error correction.

11/25/2020 www.sanskriti.edu.in 13
 Error detection code detect errors during
transmission of data from one location to
another.
Error rate cannot be reduced to zero
To achieve error-detection we use a
parity bit.

11/25/2020 www.sanskriti.edu.in 14
 A parity bit is an extra bit included with a
message to the total number of 1’s
transmitted either odd or even.
Parity bit allows us only to detect the presence of
one bit error in a group of bits.
It does not enable us to exactly locate the bit that
changed.
Parity bit scheme can be extended to locate
the faulty bit In a block of information.

11/25/2020 www.sanskriti.edu.in 16
 Odd parity bit generator can be formed by
inverting the output of the Even parity bit
generator.

 Gray coding is an important code and is used for
its speed, it is also relatively free from errors.
Gray coding avoids this since only one bit changes
between subsequent numbers.
In pure binary coding then counting from 7 (0111)
to 8 (1000) requires 4 bits to be changed
simultaneously.
Gray code is used to represent the digital data
when it is converted from analog data.

 Scan the Gray code word from left to right
All the bits of the binary code are the same as
those of the Gray code until the first 1 is
encountered, including the first 1
1’s are written until the next 1 is
encountered, in which case a 0 is written.
0’s are written until the next 1 is
encountered, in which case a 1 is written.
Examples
Gray code : 1 1 0 1 1 0
Binary code: 1 0 0 1 0 0

 UNICODE is a 16-bit code for
representing alphanumeric data.
Developed by a consortia(An association or a combination,
as of businesses, financial institutions, or investors, for the purpose of
engaging in a joint venture.)

With 16 bits, can represent 216 or 65536

different symbols.
16 bits = 2 Bytes per character.
UNICODE used by Web browsers and Java
these days.

ASCII Code
•The standard binary code for representation of
alphanumeric characters is ASCII
•ASCII (American Standard for Information
Interchange)
•It hands not only numbers but letters and
special characters
• Uses 7 bits to code 128 characters
•In ASCII, every letter, number, and punctuation
symbol has a corresponding
number, or ASCII codewww.sanskriti.edu.in

 This code is 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).
