    171 Winter 2011 Midterm Exam Solutions 1. [15] Convert the unsigned binary number 11001.11 to a) Octal b) Hexadecimal c) Decimal [31.68; 19.C16; 25.7510] {5 points for each part, partial credit OK if work shown} 2. [15] Convert 15.6510 to equivalent numbers in the following bases. For base 8 and base 16 show two digits for the fractional part. a) Base 2 b) Base 8 c) Base 16 [1111.1010012 (repeats); 17.518; F.A616] {5 pts/part, partial credit if work shown} 3. [5] Youve been asked to design a digital system that involves representing a temperature in Celsius from 0 to 100 in increments of degree. How many bits do you need? 4. [10] What decimal number is represented by the radix complement (RC) (2s complement) number 1011.011? [4.625] {5 points for whole part, 1 point for sign, 4 points for fractional part} 5. [5] What ASCII character is represented by the hexadecimal value 5A? [Z]
    [ log2(200) = 8 bits]

    6. [10] Consider the Boolean function F2 below. a) Write it exactly as its implemented !2 ! , !, ! = ! + ! (! + !) b) Write the function in SOP form. !2 ! , !, ! = ! ! + ! !

    7. [5] What bit sequence is represented by the NRZI formatted serial data below? Assume the signal starts low.

    [00111011] {partial credit OK}


    8. [10] Write the equation implemented below in SOP form.

    ! !, ! , ! , ! = ! ! + ! ! ! + ! ! ! 9. [15] What decimal number is represented by C15A000016 when its interpreted as an IEEE 754 floating point number? C15A000016 =110000010101101000000000000000002 Sign = 1 Biased Exponent = 100000102 = 13010 Significand = 101101000000000000000002 So, number is 1.1011012 x 2(130-127) = 1101.1012 = 13.62510

    10. [15] Using K-maps, find the minimum SOP expression for the function F(W, X, Y, Z) = (2,3,6,7,8,9,12,13) 5 for correctly filled in K-map, 5 for correctly circled K-map, 5 for minimized equation ! ! , !, !, ! = ! ! + ! ! 11. [15] Using K-maps, find the minimum SOP expression for the function ! (! , !, !, !) = (0,2,5,7,8,10) There are two equivalent solutions to this problem:

    ! ! , !, !, ! = ! ! + ! ! + ! ! Or

    ! ! , !, !, ! = ! ! + ! ! + ! !

    12. [15] Give the minimal SOP equation for the function F W, X, Y, Z = (0,2,5,7,8,10,13) + md 1,9,11

    ! ! , !, !, ! = ! ! ! + ! ! + ! !
