Working with signed BCD values. Now, as we discussed in the first column in this series, signed BCD values work in a similar manner to their signed-binary counterparts. In the case of an 8-bit byte ...

For applications not requiring fast conversion,a single circuit that can performboth conversions proves adequate. Onesuch circuit (Figure 1) utilizes up/downcounters to obtain the desired ...

When decimal numbers are within the range of 0 to 9, their binary and BCD representations are identical, requiring only four bits (0000 to 1001).

While PWM usually uses a cyclical on/off cycle (30% on, 70% off, repeat) BCD uses a cumulative cycle. As you can see above, each successive bit of binary code carries double significance compared ...

HERE’S A C/C++ PROGRAM that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and binary coded decimal (BCD) formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer ...
