Binary to BCD Conversion


Steps
Step 1 -- Convert the binary number to decimal.
Step 2 -- Convert decimal number to BCD.
Example convert 111012 to BCD.

As mentioned in Steps 2 and 4, the remainders have to be arranged in the reverse order so that
the first remainder becomes the least significant digit LSD and the last remainder becomes the
most significant digit MSD.
Decimal Number 2910 = Binary Number 111012
Result
(00101001)BCD = (11101)2

BCD to Excess-3
Steps

Step 1 -- Convert BCD to decimal.


Step 2 -- Add 310 to this decimal number.
Step 3 -- Convert into binary to get excess-3 code.
Example convert 1001BCD to Excess-3.

Step 1 Convert to decimal


1001BCD = 910

Step 2 Add 3 to decimal


910 + 310 = 1210

Step 3 Convert to Excess-3


1210 = 11002
Result
(1001)BCD = (1100)XS-3

Excess-3 to BCD Conversion


Steps
Step 1 -- Subtract 00112 from each 4 bit of excess-3 digit to obtain the corresponding BCD
code.
Example convert 10011010XS-3 to BCD.
Given XS-3 number = 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0
Subtract (0011)2
= 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
-------------------BCD = 0 1 1 0
0 1 1 1

Result
(10011010)XS-3 = (01100111)BCD
