Understanding Parity Generators and Checkers

Parity generators and checkers are fundamental components in digital systems used for error detection during data transmission. They work by adding an extra bit (parity bit) to the data being transmitted to ensure data integrity.

Even Parity Generator

In even parity, the parity bit is set such that the total number of 1s in the data (including the parity bit) is even. If the data has an odd number of 1s, the parity bit is set to 1; otherwise, it's set to 0.

Odd Parity Generator

In odd parity, the parity bit is set such that the total number of 1s in the data (including the parity bit) is odd. If the data has an even number of 1s, the parity bit is set to 1; otherwise, it's set to 0.

Parity Checker

The parity checker at the receiver end verifies the integrity of the received data by checking if the parity condition is satisfied. If the condition is violated, an error is detected.
