Gray Code Conversion Guide

This document discusses Gray code and how to convert between binary and Gray code. It defines Gray code as a unit distance code also called reflected binary code. To convert binary to Gray code, the most significant bit is recorded as is and each subsequent bit is obtained by XORing the previous bit and the current binary bit. Conversion from Gray code to binary follows the same process but in reverse order. Examples are provided to illustrate the conversion steps.

❖ Gray code is also Reflected Binary Code (RBC)


❖ It was named after Frank Gray
❖ It is also called Unit distance code & maximum error code and
sometimes called cyclic code.

❖ Binary number is converted to Gray code to reduce switching


operation.

Binary to Gray Code Conversion

Steps:

1. Record the Most Significant Bit (MSB) as it is.


2. Add the MSB to the next bit,record the sum and neglect the carry or
simply peform XOR operation.
3. Repeat the process.

Example :
Convert 1011 to Gray Code
b3 b2 b1 b0
g3 = b3
1 0 1 1  Binary
g2 = b2 b3
g1 = b1 b2
1 1 1 0  Gray Code g0 = b0 b1
g3 g2 g1 g0

Gray Code Conversion to Binary

Steps:

1. Record the Most Significant Bit (MSB) as it is.


2. Add the MSB to the next bit of Gray Code ,record the sum and
neglect the carry or simply peform XOR operation.
3. Repeat the process.

Example :
Convert 1011 to Binary
g3 g2 g1 g0
 Gray Code b3 = g3
1 1 1 0
b2 = b3 g2
b1 = b2 g1
1 0 1 1  Binary b0 = b1 g0
b3 b2 b1 b0
