1. Design a 6 bit Binary to BCD converter.

Hint: Use Double-Dabble Binary to BCD Conversion Algorithm

Solution:
Double-Dabble Binary-to-BCD Conversion Algorithm "' "·t\ "' "·t\

Step 1. Clear all bits of z to zero

Step 2. Shift B left 3 bits z[8:3] = B[S:O];

Step 3. If Units> 4 then add 3 to Units Units= z[9:6]) Shift z left 1 bit Repeat
Step 3 three times.
Step 4. Tens= P[6:4] = z[12:10] Units= P[3:0] = z[9:6]

The below circuit diagram is used to implement "Double-Dabble Binary-to-BCD

Conversion Algorithm"

By using K - map, We can simplify the equations

Similarly, S2,S1 & SO can be simplified.
