 1.5 Complements
 There are two types of complements for each base-r system: the radix complement and
diminished radix complement.
 Diminished Radix Complement - (r-1)’s Complement
 Given a number N in base r having n digits, the (r–1)’s complement of N is
defined as:
(rn –1) – N
 Example for 6-digit decimal numbers:
 9’s complement is (rn – 1)–N = (106–1)–N = 999999–N
 9’s complement of 546700 is 999999–546700 = 453299
 Example for 7-digit binary numbers:
 1’s complement is (rn – 1) – N = (27–1)–N = 1111111–N
 1’s complement of 1011000 is 1111111–1011000 = 0100111
 Observation:
 Subtraction from (rn – 1) will never require a borrow
 Diminished radix complement can be computed digit-by-digit
 For binary: 1 – 0 = 1 and 1 – 1 = 0

 Radix Complement

The r's complement of an n-digit number N in base r is defined as

rn – N for N ≠ 0 and as 0 for N = 0. Comparing with the (r  1) 's
complement, we note that the r's complement is obtained by adding 1
to the (r  1) 's complement, since rn – N = [(rn  1) – N] + 1.

 Example: Base-10

The 10's complement of 012398 is 987602

The 10's complement of 246700 is 753300

 Example: Base-2

The 2's complement of 1101100 is 0010100

The 2's complement of 0110111 is 1001001

 Subtraction with Complements

 The subtraction of two n-digit unsigned numbers M – N in base r can be
done as follows:

 Example 1.5
 Using 10's complement, subtract 72532 – 3250.

 Example 1.6
 Using 10's complement, subtract 3250 – 72532.

There is no end carry.

Therefore, the answer is – (10's complement of 30718) =  69282.

 Complements

 Example 1.7
 Given the two binary numbers X = 1010100 and Y = 1000011, perform the
subtraction (a) X – Y ; and (b) Y  X, by using 2's complement.

There is no end carry.

Therefore, the answer is
Y – X =  (2's complement
of 1101111) =  0010001.
 Complements

 Subtraction of unsigned numbers can also be done by means of the (r  1)'s

complement. Remember that the (r  1) 's complement is one less then the r's
complement.
 Example 1.8
 Repeat Example 1.7, but this time using 1's complement.

There is no end carry,

Therefore, the answer is Y –
X =  (1's complement of
1101110) =  0010001.

 Definition of Binary Logic

 Binary logic consists of binary variables and a set of logical operations.

 The variables are designated by letters of the alphabet, such as A, B, C, x, y, z, etc, with each variable having two
and only two distinct possible values: 1 and 0,
 Three basic logical operations: AND, OR, and NOT.

 DeMorgan’s Theory

• DeMorgan’s Theorems are basically two sets of rules or laws developed

from the Boolean expressions for AND, OR and NOT using two input
variables, A and B.
• These two rules or theorems allow the input variables to be negated
and converted from one form of a Boolean function into an opposite
form.
DeMorgan’s First Theorem
DeMorgan’s second theorem
Few more logic gates
The NAND gate and NOR gate can be called the universal gates
since the combination of these gates can be used to accomplish
any of the basic operations. Hence, NAND gate and NOR gate
combination can produce an inverter, an OR gate or an AND gate.
What is a NAND gate?
The NAND gate or “NotAND” gate is the combination of two basic logic gates, the AND
gate and the NOT gate connected in series.
What is a NOR Gate?
• NOR gate is the inverse of an OR gate, and its circuit is produced by
connecting an OR gate to a NOT gate. Just like an OR gate, a NOR gate
may have any number of input probes but only one output probe.
• A NOT gate is made by joining the inputs of a NAND gate
together. Since a NAND gate is equivalent to an AND gate
followed by a NOT gate, joining the inputs of a NAND gate
leaves only the NOT gate.
•
XOR gate
• is a digital logic gate that gives a true (1 or HIGH) output when
the number of true inputs is odd.
XNOR gate
• A high output (1) results if both of the inputs to the gate are the
same. If one but not both inputs are high (1), a low output (0)
results. Hence the gate is sometimes called an "equivalence
gate”
• The algebraic notation used to represent the XNOR operation
is
