What is BCD adder subtractor?

BCD stand for binary coded decimal. Suppose, we have two 4-bit numbers A and B. The value of A and B can varies from 0(0000 in binary) to 9(1001 in binary) because we are considering decimal numbers. Here, to get the output in BCD form, we will use BCD Adder.

What is BCD adder?

BCD adder A 4-bit binary adder that is capable of adding two 4-bit words having a BCD (binary-coded decimal) format. The result of the addition is a BCD-format 4-bit output word, representing the decimal sum of the addend and augend, and a carry that is generated if this sum exceeds a decimal value of 9.

How many adders are used in BCD adder circuit?

As the decimal number system contains 10 digits at least 4 bits are needed to represent a BCD digit. To implement a 4-bit BCD adder we need two 4-bit full adders, one to add two 4-bit BCD numbers and the other full adder 2’s complement of the results greater than 9 to the result if carry is generated.

What are the peculiarities of BCD adder?

BCD adder is a circuit that adds two BCD digits in parallel and produces a sum digit also in BCD. The two decimal digits, together with the input carry, are first added in the top 4-bit binary adder to produce the binary sum. When the output carry is equal to zero, nothing is added to the binary sum.

How are binary coded adder subtractors used in BCD?

To convert decimal data to binary, binary coded decimal adder subtractors are used in those electronic items. In this post I show you how to design a BCD adder subtractor using HDL (Hardware Descriptive Language) and here I use ‘Verilog’ language. Gate level design is the approach used to develop the BCD adder.

When do you need a correction in BCD adder?

Table 1 Derivation of BCD Adder The logic circuit that detects the necessary correction can be derived from the entries in the table. It is obvious that a correction is needed when the binary sum has an output carry K = 1. The other six combinations from 1010 through 1111 that need a correction have a 1 in position Z 8

What is the output of a 2 nd adder?

When the error condition is not detected the circuit output is 0 and the 2 nd Adder input B is set to 0000. Two singe digit BCD Adders can be cascaded together to form a 2-digit BCD Adder. Four, 4-bit 74LS283 MSI chips are used.

When does a circuit become a subtractor or an adder?

When M= 1, the circuit is a subtractor and when M=0, the circuit becomes adder. The Ex-OR gate consists of two inputs to which one is connected to the B and other to input M. When M = 0, B Ex-OR of 0 produce B. Then full adders add the B with A with carry input zero and hence an addition operation is performed.
