1) BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) Code: This code is based on the idea of converting
each digit of a decimal number into its binary equivalent in spite of converting
the entire decimal value into a pure binary form. In this coding technique each
decimal digit is independently converted to a 4 bit binary number which makes conversion
process very easy.24=16 configurations are possible but only first
10 are used to represent decimal digits from 0 to 9.
Or 00111000 in BCD
2)EBCDIC (Extended BCD Interchange Code): BCD code has the limitation that it can be used only to represent 64 Characters. This is not sufficient to represent 10 decimal numbers, 26 small letters and 26 capital letters with it. Therefore this code is extended from 6 bit to 8 bit code and is known as EBCDIC. First 4 bits are used as zone bits and rest 4 are used to represent digits. With this code it is possible to represent 256 different characters. This code contains 8 bit and can be used as two 4 bit groups to represent 1 hexadecimal digit.
3) Gray Code: Gray code is similar to binary but has the difference that gray code changes by only one bit as it sequences from one number to next number. These codes are generally used in counters. These are also used in digital systems for generating timing sequences. Table given below illustrates 4 bit gray code.
4) ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) Code: This is another coding standard that is used for transmission of binary information. It is of two types: ASCII-7 and ASCII-8. ASCII is 8 bit code and can represent 128 different characters. First 3 bits are used as Zone bits and last 4 bits are used to represent digits. ASCII-8 is the extended version of ASCII-7 and can represent 256 different characters. It contains 4 Zone bits rather than 3 bits.

E.g. Conversion of decimal number
38 is done as follows
3810= 0011 1000
3 8
Or 00111000 in BCD
