Code Conv

This document outlines an assignment to design and implement 4-bit code converters using logic gates. The converters are: binary to gray code, gray to binary code, BCD to excess-3 code, and excess-3 to BCD code. The assignment involves drawing truth tables, K-maps, logic diagrams, and specifying hardware. Different code types are explained, including their significance and applications. The designs are tested using IC gates. Key concepts covered include weighted vs non-weighted codes and the self-complementing property of excess-3 code.

TITLE: CODE CONVERTER

Aim: To Design (truth table, K map) and


implement the circuit for the following 4bit Code conversion.
Code Conversions:
Binary to Gray Code
Gray to Binary Code
BCD to Excess 3 Code
Excess-3 to BCD Code

Objective:

To study and design different code converters using


gates.
Its significance and applications in digital systems.

Theory:
Need of code conversion

Often it is required to convert from one code to


another. For example the input to a digital system
may be in natural BCD and output may be 7-segment
LEDs. The digital system used may be capable of
processing the data in straight binary format.

Different types of codes (Significance and


applications)

Binary code
i) Weighted code straight binary code.

Gray code
i) Non Weighted code, single bit change from one
code word to the next in sequence.
ii) Used in Shaft encoders, angle-measuring devices,
K-map, to take output from ADC.

BCD code
i) Decimal number representation using 4-bit
binary. Weighted code (8-4-2-1)
ii) Used in arithmetic operations

Theory (Contd.)

Excess-3 code
i) Non weighted code used to express decimal
numbers
ii) Self complementing code
iii) Used to perform subtraction operation in digital
systems

Theory (Contd.)

Binary to Gray Conversion


Convert 0011 binary to Gray.

Theory (Contd.)

Gray to Binary Conversion


Convert 1011 Gray to Binary code.

Theory (Contd.)
BCD to Excess-3 code conversion
Convert BCD 0010 to Excess 3 code
0010 + 0011 = 0101 Excess 3 code for BCD 0010

Excess 3 code to BCD conversion


Convert 4-bit Excess-3 value 0101 to equivalent BCD
0101-0011= 0010 BCD for 2

Design

Truth Table

K-Map

Logical Circuit Diagram

Hardware Requirements

Binary to Gray Conversion


1) Truth Table:

2) K-map for reduced Boolean expressions of each output:

3) Circuit diagram:

4) Hardware requirements:

Conclusion:

Thus, we studied different codes and their


conversions including applications.

The truth tables have been verified using IC


7486, 7432, 7408, and 7404.

Design for different code conversions are


implemented.
