Binary Data Manipulation
9.1 Introduction
A digital circuit or system utilizes and manipulates binary data to perform a required operation. Essentially, groups of bits of data are converted from one value to another at a particular point in time. Software-programmed processors typically manipulate groups of 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 bits of data, although a custom design could manipulate as many bits as required.
Binary data is manipulated using the following:
• Boolean logic provides a means to display the operations on input signals and produce a result in mathematical terms using AND, NAND, OR, NOR, EXOR, EX-NOR, and NOT logical operations.
• Truth tables provide a means to display the operations on input signals and produce a result ...
