Sixteen to eight bit code converter - converts twice sixteen code to eight bit binary with parity bit

摘要

Each of the two (116) signals is converted by a separate diode matrix in the four bits of an eight bit code, so that the characteristic wire for the input phi of the (116) signal becomes unnecessary. The remaining 15 input wires in each matrix are connected with the four outputs for the binary code, so that in absence of a signal at one of the inputs, the signal phi appears at the output wires. Each matrix has a fifth output wire for the party bit, so connected with the 15 input wires, that a parity is always produced. The parity bit wire in each matrix is connected to an equivalence gate, at whose outout an odd parity always appears for both matrices.
