Digital Electronics/Data Encoder

Digital Encoder Introduction

Digital Encoder is a Digital Device that uses binary number of n bit to represent a number of base ten . Binary number of n bit is called Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), a coding scheme used in digital to encode informations

If there are two control lines A and B , we can have 4 4-bit-binary-numbers a₃a₂a₁a₀ which can be used to represent a number of base ten from 0 to 3

A	B	a3	a2	a1	a0	Decimal Number
0	0	0	0	0	0	0
0	1	0	0	0	1	1
1	0	0	0	1	0	2
1	1	0	0	1	1	3

Digital Encoder Types

BCD - Binary Coded Decimal

In order to encode decimal number from 0 - 9 using Binary Coded Decimal Scheme , 10 4-bit-Binary-numbers are used

A	B	a3	a2	a1	a0	Decimal Number
0	0	0	0	0	0	0
0	1	0	0	0	1	1
1	0	0	0	1	0	2
1	1	0	0	1	1	3
1	1	0	1	0	0	4
1	1	0	1	0	1	5
1	1	0	1	1	0	6
1	1	0	1	1	1	7
1	1	1	0	0	0	8
1	1	1	0	0	1	9

ASCII Code

ASCII stands for American Standard Communication Information Interchange is the first standard introduced in North America for Information exchange . ASCII uses 7 bits Binary numbers to represent information in human language

1. Number from 0 to 9
2. Capital A to Z
3. Common a to z

Code 0x20 (hexadecimal), the space character, denotes the space between words, as produced by the space-bar of a keyboard. The space character is considered an invisible graphic rather than a control character. Codes 0x21 to 0x7E, known as the printable characters, represent letters, digits, punctuation marks, and a few miscellaneous symbols.
