  2. Gray Code: The Gray Code is a widely used non-weighted code system.

  3. Gray Code: Also known as the cyclic, unit distance or reflective code, the Gray code can exist in either the pure binary or BCD formats.

  4. Gray Code: The Gray code is shown in the table. As with the pure binary code, the first ten codes are used in BCD operations.

  5. Gray Code: Notice that there is a change in only one bit from one code number to the next in sequence.

  6. Gray Code: You can get a better idea about the Gray code sequence by comparing it to the standard four-bit 8421 pure binary code also shown in the table.

  7. Gray Code: For example, consider the change from 7 (0111) to 8(1000) in the pure binary code. When this change takes place all bits change.

  8. Gray Code: Bits that were 1’s are changed to 0’s and 0’s are changed to 1’s. Now, notice the code change from 7 to 8 in the Gray code.

  9. Gray Code: Here 7(0100) changes to 8 (1100). Only the first bit changes.

  10. Gray Code: The Gray code is generally known as an error-minimizing code because it greatly reduces the possibility of ambiguity in the electronic circuitry, when changing from one state to the next.

  11. Gray Code: When binary codes are implemented with electronic circuitry, it takes a finite period of time for bits to change from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0. These state changes can create timing and speed problems.

  12. Gray Code: This is particularly true in the standard 8421 codes where many bits change from one combination to the next.

  13. Gray Code: When the Gray code is used, however, the timing and speed errors are greatly minimized because only one bit changes at a time.

  14. Gray Code: This permits code circuitry to operate at higher speeds with fewer errors.

  15. Gray Code: The biggest disadvantage of the Gray code is that it is difficult to use in arithmetic computations.

  16. Gray Code: Where numbers must be added, subtracted or used in other computations, the Gray code is not applicable.

  17. Gray Code: In order to perform arithmetic operations the Gray code number must generally be converted into pure binary form.
