  • How Much Power Will a 727 Pushbutton Transmission Hold?

    Mopar has always been a strange kind of company. Because of a history of being the first to introduce a product and the last to let it go, Chrysler and its subsidiaries have built a loyal following among racers guided by a codex of historical dominance and restorationists who bleed numbers-matching hemoglobin. The push-button 727 TorqueFlite transmission is a perfect example of this kind of dual thinking, and -- understandably -- remains an icon worth keeping even in the modern era.

  • How to create a simple serial UART Transmitter in verilog HDL

    Most Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) that I found online, are too complicated and difficult to understand, here I will explain some simple theory and also code on how to build one.

  • How to Use a Rotate Through Carry Bit Shift

    Rotate Left through Carry (RCL) and Rotate Right through Carry (RCR) are the two instructions in assembler language that take bits and shift them left or right, from one side to the other side of the operand. Thus, no bits are lost as with just shift instructions. Here's how to use a rotate through carry bit shift in Microsoft MASM 6.11.

  • How to Use Bit Shifting in Cryptography

    When you're sending an electronic message that you don't want anyone else to read, secure it with some form of encryption. The more complex you make the encryption scheme, the more difficult it is to decode your message. You can make a basic encryption scheme using the following bit shift technique.

  • How to Perform a Bit Shift in Basic

    Using bit shifts in the Basic programming language can help you speed the execution of your code by eliminating certain higher-level math operations. Also, you can use bit shifting for such tasks as pseudo-random number generation, cryptography and error correction. You can perform bit shifts in Basic for Byte, Short, Integer and Long data types.

  • How to Perform a Bit Shift in Java

    The Java programming language allows you to perform bit shift and bitwise operations on the binary numbers that underlie the various data types. Using the bit shift operators, you can perform certain mathematical operations much more quickly than if you use high-level commands. You can use bit shifts for speeding up some programs and for applications such as pseudo-random number generation.

  • How to Divide Integers With Bit Shifts

    Bit shifts offer a method of quickly performing certain mathematical operations, such as multiplication and division, on binary numbers. This type of low-level math significantly speeds execution of programs, since it avoids high-level math operations. Use a bit shift right to divide an integer by a power of two without the need for a calculator or a mathematical mind.

  • How to Use a Two's Complement in a Bit Shift

    Two's complement notation is a method of expressing negative numbers using binary bits. Because computer instructions are in binary, two's complement is necessary in programming. It is significantly faster than other forms of arithmetic because no translation is required. The following steps will show how to use a two's complement in a bit shift.

  • How to Perform a Bit Shift in C++

    Programmers can't directly access bits in C++, but C++ does offer the use of bit shift operators for performing certain operations on other data types. Whether you're working with byte, integer or any other data type, using bit shifts in certain situations can significantly speed up execution of your code.

  • How to Add Integers With Bit Shifts

    Understanding binary math is a prerequisite for efficient programming of digital circuits--in particular, low-level hardware programming. When you add two integers in the computer's processor, bit shifts occur during the process. When the addition yields an integer that goes beyond the bounds of the register, extra bits that form on the left side of the number generate bit shifts.

  • How to Use a One's Complement in a Bit Shift

    We communicate with computers in ones and zeros as their language. Programming languages like C++ are nothing more than translators to allow you to tell the computer what to do. Manipulating bits in computer memory is how instructions are given. In order to do this, you have to learn to work with the ones and zeros. There are specific different rules for the math of binary numbers.

  • How to Multiply Integers With Bit Shifts

    Computer programmers and designers utilize bit shifts to accomplish many mathematical tasks. A certain class of numbers and mathematical functions, called floating point math, use a different processor than other types of tasks. Bit shifts allow you to perform some multiplication tasks faster. You can perform a calculation that involves a power of two by a bit shift left. For higher powers of two, you perform multiple bit shift lefts.
