1-bit Full-adder or 1-bit images, images made out of two colours
{{disambiguation ...
1 bit is the smallest possible information size. 1-bit may refer to: * 1-bit computing, systems that process 1 bit per work cycle * 1-bit DAC, the oversampling digital-to-analog converter technology * Binary image A binary image is a digital image that consists of pixels that can have one of exactly two colors, usually black and white. Each pixel is stored as a single bit — i.e. either a 0 or 1. A binary image can be stored in memory as a bitmap: a p ...

1-bit Computing
In computer architecture, 1-bit integers or other data units are those that are (1/8 octet) wide. Also, 1-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers of that size. There are no computers or microcontrollers of any kind that are exclusively 1-bit for all registers and address buses. A 1-bit register can only store two different values. This is very restrictive and therefore not enough for a program counter which, on modern systems, is implemented in an on-chip register, but is not implemented on-chip in some 1-bit systems. Opcodes for at least one 1-bit processor architecture were 4-bit and the address bus was 8-bit. While 1-bit computing is obsolete, 1-bit serial communication is still used in modern computers, that are otherwise e.g. 64-bit, and thus also have much larger buses. While 1-bit CPUs are obsolete, the first (research) carbon nanotube computer from 2013 is a 1-bit one-instruction set com ...

1-bit DAC
A 1-bit DAC (sometimes called Bitstream converter by Philips) is a consumer electronics marketing term describing an oversampling digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that uses a digital noise shaping delta-sigma modulator operating at many multiples of the sampling frequency that outputs to an ''actual'' 1-bit DAC (which could be fully differential to minimize crosstalk). The combination can have high signal-to-noise and hence an equivalent effective number of bits as a DAC with a larger number of bits (usually 16-20). The advantages of this type of converter are high linearity combined with low cost, owed to the fact that most of the processing takes place in the digital domain, which helps relax the requirements for the subsequent analog low-pass filter (for anti-aliasing image frequencies and suppressing high-frequency noise-shaping noise). For these reasons, this design is very popular in digital consumer electronics (CD/DVD players, set-top boxes and the like). While single-bi ...
