When anyone is first introduced to the topic of digital computers, they are almost invariably told that these machines are based on binary (base-2) logic and the binary number system, where “binary” ...

Reversible logic has received great attention in the recent years due to their ability to reduce the power dissipation which is the main requirement in low power digital design. It has wide ...

My last column introduced the concepts underlying BCD (binary-coded-decimal) representations. In particular, we considered unsigned versus 10s-complement versions of BCD numbers. In this column we are ...

Filters are widely used in the world of communication and computation. To design a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter that satisfies all the required conditions is a challenge. Power consumption by ...
