Question III.8: (a) Perform the following conversions. 1. 38F 16 to octal 2....

(a) Perform the following conversions.

  1. 38F_{16} to octal
  2. 153_{8} to binary
  3. 456_{10} to hexadecimal
  4. 1001 0111_{2} in to decimal

(b) Draw the logic circuit for the following Boolean expression expressed in two forms. Also write the truth table.

Y=\overline{A}  \overline{C}+ B \overline{C}       (i)

Y=\overline{C}(\overline{A}+B)       (ii)

(a) 1. Writing the binary equivalent of each hexdigit of 38F_{16}, we get 0011 1000 1111. We get 001 110 001 111 after arranging this in groups of 3 bits. Writing the octal digit for each group, we get the desired octal number, i.e. 1617_{8}.

  1. Writing the binary equivalent for each octal digit of 153_{8}, we get 001 101 011, which is the answer.
  2. Succesive division of 456 by 16 gives:
Divisor Number Remainder
16 456
16 28 8
16 1 C
16 0 1
The answer is 1C8.
  1. By providing the weightage of each bit, we get the following:
1 \times 2^{7}+0 \times 2^{6}+0 \times 2^{5}+1 \times 2^{4}+0 \times 2^{3}+1 \times 2^{2}+1 \times 2^{1}+1 \times 2^{0}

= 1 × 128 + 0 × 64 + 0 × 32 + 1 × 16 + 0 × 8 + 1 × 4 + 1 × 2 + 1 × 1

= 128 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 1

= 151

(b) The logic circuits are shown in Figures 31 and 32 and the truth table is provided in Table 2.
