  • Ex-OR and Ex-NOR gates are useful in circuits for parity generation and checking.
  • In the transmission of data from one place to another, the transmitter can attach a parity bit to a set of data bits before transmitting the data bits to a receiver.
  • The logic circuitry for parity generation is as shown:
  •  

    The receiver uses a parity checker to detect any single-bit errors that may have occurred during the transmission. The circuit for parity checker using Ex-OR gates is as shown:
