Digital: Analog:
only assumes discrete values values vary over a broad range
continuously
Digital Hardware Systems
• Digital Binary System
– Two discrete values:
• yes, on, 5 volts, current flowing, "1"
• no, off, 0 volts, no current flowing, "0”
– Advantage of binary systems:
• Rigorous (exact) mathematical foundation
based on logic
• it’s easy to implement
IF the garage door is open both the door must
AND the car is running be open and the car
running before I can
THEN the car can be backed out of the garage back out

Weight
Base
Binary to Decimal
Decimal Octal
Binary Hexadecimal
Binary to Decimal
• Technique
– Multiply each bit by 2n, where n is the
“weight” of the bit
– The weight is the position of the bit,
starting from 0 on the right
– Add the results
Example
Bit “0”
1010112 => 1 x 20 = 1
1 x 21 = 2
0 x 22 = 0
1 x 23 = 8
0 x 24 = 0
1 x 25 = 32

• Technique
– Multiply each bit by 8n, where n is the
“weight” of the bit
– The weight is the position of the bit,
starting from 0 on the right
– Add the results
Example
7248 => 4 x 80 = 4
2 x 81 = 16
7 x 82 = 448

Hexadecimal to Decimal
• Technique
– Multiply each bit by 16n, where n is the
“weight” of the bit
– The weight is the position of the bit,
starting from 0 on the right
– Add the results
Example
Decimal Octal
Binary Hexadecimal
Decimal to Binary
• Technique
– Divide by two, keep track of the remainder
– First remainder is bit 0 (LSB, least-
significant bit)
– Second remainder is bit 1
– Etc.
