conversion using NAND gates only.


To analyse the truth table of binary to gray and gray to binary
converter using combination of NAND gates and to understand the

Introduction

Binary Numbers is default way to store numbers, but in many


applications binary numbers are difficult to use and a variation of binary
numbers is needed. Gray code is an ordering of the binary numeral
system such that two successive values differ in only one bit (binary
digit). Gray codes are very useful in the normal sequence of binary
numbers generated by the hardware that may cause an error or
ambiguity during the transition from one number to the next. So, the
Gray code can eliminate this problem easily since only one bit changes
its value during any transition between two numbers.

Gray code has property that two successive numbers differ in only one
bit because of this property gray code does the cycling through various
states with minimal effort and used in K-maps, error correction,
communication etc.

In computer science many a times we need to convert binary code to


gray code and vice versa. This conversion can be done by applying
following rules :

1) Binary to Gray conversion :

1. The Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the gray code is always equal to
the MSB of the given binary code.
2. Other bits of the output gray code can be obtained by Ex-ORing
binary code bit at that index and previous index.
There are four inputs and four outputs. The input variable are
defined as B3, B2, B1, B0 and the output variables are defined as G3,
G2, G1, G0. From the truth table, combinational circuit is
designed.The logical expressions are defined as :

B 3 = G3

B 2 ⊕ B3 = G2

B 1 ⊕ B2 = G1

B0 ⊕ B1 = G0

2) Gray to binary conversion :


1.The Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the binary code is always equal to
the MSB of the given binary number.
2.Other bits of the output binary code can be obtained by checking gray
code bit at that index. If current gray code bit is 0, then copy previous
binary code bit, else copy invert of previous binary code bit.

There are four inputs and four outputs. The input variable are defined as
G3, G2, G1, G0 and the output variables are defined as B 3, B2, B1, B0. From
the truth table, combinational circuit is designed.The logical expressions
are defined as :

G 0 ⊕ G 1 ⊕ G 2 ⊕ G 3 = B0

G 1 ⊕ G 2 ⊕ G 3 = B1

G 2 ⊕ G 3 = B2
G3 = B3
