Characteristics and Properties of Gray Code
- Single Bit Change: Gray code only allows for one bit to change when changing from one value to another. Because there is less ambiguity when changing values, this feature lessens the possibility of errors and glitches in digital systems.
- Reflection Property: A straightforward way for creating the Gray Code sequence entails reflecting the current sequence before prefixing the new sequence with a new bit. For instance, start with a 2-bit Gray Code sequence and reflect it to make a 3-bit Gray Code sequence. The single-bit change property is upheld by the reflection property, which also makes sure the sequence is cyclic.
What is Gray Code?
A binary numbering system in which two successive values only differ by one bit is called gray code, often referred to as reflected binary code or unit distance code. Frank Gray created it in 1953, and today it is a common tool for error detection and repair in digital communication and data storage systems. The Gray code is a sequencing of the binary numeral system in which two successive values differ in an only binary digits.
