Block to Nibble Converter

Block

In data transmission and data storage, a block is a sequence of bytes or bits, having a nominal length (a block size). Putting data into blocks (blocking) blocking is used to speed up the handling of the data stream by the communication equipment. Blocked data is normally read a whole block at a time. For example a block may be equal to 4096 bits in a computer.

Nibble

In computing, a nibble is a string of four-bits or half an octet. It is also known as half-byte or tetrade. In a networking or telecommunication context, the nibble is often called a semi-octet, quadbit, or quartet. A nibble has sixteen possible values. A nibble can be represented by a single hexadecimal digit (0–F) and called a hex digit. A full byte (octet) is represented by two hexadecimal digits (00–FF); therefore, it is common to display a byte of information as two nibbles.
