Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)
§ The BCD code is the 8,4,2,1 code.
§ 8, 4, 2, and 1 are weights
§ BCD is a weighted code
§ This code is the simplest, most intuitive binary
code for decimal digits and uses the same
powers of 2 as a binary number, but only
encodes the first ten values from 0 to 9.
§ Example:  1001 (9) = 1000 (8) + 0001 (1)
§ How many “invalid” code words are there?
§ What are the “invalid” code words?

BCD Arithmetic
§ Given a BCD code, we use binary arithmetic to add the digits:
8 1000 Eight
+5 +0101 Plus 5
13 1101 is 13 (> 9)
§ Note that the result is MORE THAN 9, so must be
represented by two digits!
§ To correct the digit, subtract 10 by adding 6 modulo 16.
8 1000 Eight
+5 +0101 Plus 5
13 1101 is 13 (> 9)
+0110 so add 6
carry = 1 0011 leaving 3 + cy
0001 | 0011 Final answer (two digits)
§ If the digit sum is > 9, add one to the next significant digit

FAQs on PPT: Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) - Analog and Digital Electronics - Electrical Engineering (EE)

1. What is Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)?
Ans. Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) is a binary representation of decimal numbers where each decimal digit is represented by a fixed number of bits. In BCD, each digit is encoded using 4 bits, allowing easy conversion between binary and decimal representations.
2. How is BCD different from regular binary representation?
Ans. BCD differs from regular binary representation by using a fixed number of bits (typically 4 bits) to represent each decimal digit. Regular binary representation uses variable-length binary strings to represent numbers.
3. What are the advantages of using BCD?
Ans. BCD offers several advantages, including: - Easy conversion between binary and decimal representations. - Simplified arithmetic operations on decimal numbers. - Direct compatibility with decimal-based systems, such as calculators and digital displays.
4. How does BCD encoding work?
Ans. BCD encoding assigns a unique 4-bit binary code to each decimal digit from 0 to 9. For example, the BCD code for the decimal digit 5 is 0101. To encode a decimal number in BCD, each decimal digit is individually converted to its BCD equivalent.
5. Can BCD be used in modern computing systems?
Ans. BCD is still used in certain applications where decimal arithmetic operations are required, such as financial calculations and some embedded systems. However, in general-purpose computing systems, BCD is less commonly used due to its inefficiency in terms of storage and processing compared to binary representation.
