ABSTRACT

The binary number system is the most important number system in digital design. This is because it is suited to the binary nature of the phenomena used in dominant microelectronic technology. Even in situations where the binary number system is not used as such, binary codes are employed to represent information at the signal level. For example, multi-valued logic values are often encoded using binary representations. However, humans prefer decimal numbers, – thus, that is, binary numbers must be converted into decimal numbers.
