Q2 A system receives bit serial data using a clock. (New bits arrive at every positive edge
of the clock, LSB first). 8 bits constitute a byte. Successive bytes are accumulated in
a sum The output should indicate if the current value of sum is divisible by 3.
This problem turned out to be a little more complex!
Checking for divisibility by 3 in binary values can be tricky!
Each arriving bit carries a place value. The value of a byte B is
B=
