nibbleencoded
Nibbleencoded is a term used to describe data that has been encoded at the nibble level, where a nibble is a 4-bit unit. In nibbleencoded data, information is represented by 4-bit units rather than solely in 8-bit bytes.
Common practice involves packing two nibble values into a single byte, or representing each nibble with a
Applications of nibbleencoded data include systems with nibble-oriented hardware (such as 4-bit microprocessors), debugging and display
Advantages of nibbleencoding include simpler hardware design and straightforward mapping to hexadecimal notation. Limitations include potential
As a descriptive term, nibbleencoded denotes a nibble-based representation rather than a universally defined standard. It
