Over the last few months I've come to the conclusion that most of us have an innate faith that we understand the concepts behind BCD (binary coded decimal), but that in reality the majority of us ...

Add a description, image, and links to the binary-coded-decimal topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Abstract: Simple, high-speed devices to convert binary, binary coded octal, or Gray code numbers to binary coded decimal numbers or vice versa is described. Circuitry required is four shift register ...
