10001001010000

10001001010000 is a binary numeral consisting of 14 bits. In digital systems, such strings are used to represent numeric values, bit fields, or compact data encodings depending on context.

As a binary number, it equals decimal 8784 and hexadecimal 0x2250. Interpreting from the least significant bit as position 0, the set bits occur at positions 4, 6, 9, and 13 (bits 4, 6, 9, and 13 are 1; all others are 0).

In hardware design and data communication, 14-bit sequences can function as bit masks or identifiers in constrained protocols, memory addressing schemes, or custom encodings. The four set bits create a sparse pattern, which could be used to flag specific options or states within a larger bitfield or control register. Such patterns are common in low-level software and firmware where compact, explicit control signals are required.

Without additional context, the sequence has no inherent meaning beyond its numerical value. Its significance depends on the standards, dataset, or software that interprets the bits. In a given system, 10001001010000 might be part of a larger payload, a flag pattern, or a constant used to initialize or compare against other bit patterns.
