WK223 www.wineyard.in DIGITAL CODE CONVERTERS BCD TO GREY/EXCESS-3/7-SEGMENT In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal BCD (sometimes called natural binary-coded decimal NBCD )is an encoding for decimal numbers in which each digit is represented by its own binary sequence. Its main virtue is that it allows easy conversion to decimal digits for printing or display and faster decimal calculations. Its drawbacks are the increased complexity of circuits needed to implement mathematical operations and a relatively inefficient encoding—it occupies more space than a pure binary representation. In BCD, a digit is usually represented by four bits which, in general, represent the values/digits/characters 0¹. Other bit combinations are sometimes used for a sign or other indications. Although BCD is not as widely used as it once was, decimal fixed-point and floating-point are still important and continue to be used in financial, Commercial, and industrial computing. Modern decimal floating-point representations use base-10 exponents, but not BCD encodings. Current hardware implementations, however, convert the compressed decimal encodings to BCD internally before carrying out computations. Software implementations use BCD or some other 10 base, depending on the operation. This Binary coded decimal (BCD) can be converted in to GREY CODE, EXCESS -3 codes, or even in the SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY can be displayed on 16X2 LCD. This code conversion is simple example for Data encryption procedure. A truth table is written for Grey, EX-3 and 7- segment . Logic equations are derived from the truth table. .
