EVEN PARITY CODE GENERATOR CIRCUIT AND CHECKER
CIRCUIT.
AIM: To design and construct an even parity code generator circuit and an even parity
checker circuit.
OBJECTIVE: After completing this experiment, the students will be able to design and
set up even parity code generator circuit and an even parity checker circuit.
COMPONENTS AND EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED:
Sl. No. Ite ms & Specification Quantity
1 IC 7486 1No.
2 Digital trainer kit 1No.
Theory:
A Parity bit is an extra bit added to the transmitted binary message (message
consisting of 1s and 0s) to make the total number of 1s either odd or even. This is done
to detect one bit errors in the received message signal. A Parity generator is a logic
circuit that generates the parity bit from a logical function of the input message bits.
Parity generator is used in the transmitter side.
Even parity generators are used to produce an even number of 1s at the transmitter
side. If the number of 1’s in the binary message signal is odd, the even parity generator
will add a 1 as the parity bit, otherwise it will add a 0 as the parity bit. Here we have a 3
bit message signal and 1 parity bit.
So the 3 bit message along with the parity bit is transmitted to the destination.
Parity checker is used at the receiver end to detect parity errors in the received 4 bit
signal. The output of Parity checker is denoted as parity Error Check (PEC) bit. If parity
error occurs PEC = 1 and if no error occurs PEC = 0.
PROCEDURE:
Even parity code generator
1. Wire up the circuit as shown
2. Apply the input bit patterns A B C using the switches. When any switch is open a
high (1) is applied and when the switch is closed a low (0) is applied.
3. Observe the parity bit on LED D1. When LED turns ON parity bit is 1, otherwise
parity bit is 0.
Even parity checker
1. Wire up the circuit as shown
2. Apply the input bit patters A B C Pe using the switches. When any switch is open
a high
(1) is applied and when the switch is closed a low (0) is applied.
3. Observe the PEC bit on LED D1. If LED turns ON there is an even parity error,
otherwise there is no even parity error.
