Convert a binary number to a 7-bit 7-segment hexadecimal code. Convert a 4-bit BCD number to a 7-bit 7-segment display number.Ĥ. Convert a 10-bit binary number to three hexadecimal codes.ģ. Convert a 10-bit binary number to three BCD numbers.Ģ. This Binary to BCD convertor is part of the entire unit that also contains a BCD to 7-segment code convertor. The complete convertor offers the following functionality:ġ.

The truth table for this special add function is shown to the right. The transformation logic functions to convert the input to the output and add 3 when larger than 4, are given below.į := (d AND NOT a) OR (b AND a) OR (b AND NOT c) The input of this special adder contains four bit (a-d), also the output has four bit (e-h). The shift and add three algorithm is implemented in hardware through the wiring (shifting) and the use of adders (add three). A good description for this hardware implementation can be found here: Ī diagram that shows the principle of this hardware implementation, is shown below. Therefore I choose a hardware implementation. This conversion can be done by the ALU, but would be very time consuming because two 10-bit words are involved in the conversion. The conversion of a binary number to a BCD format is done by the shift and add-3 algorithm, also known as the double dabble algorithm. Then each BCD digit can be converted to a 7-segment display code. In order to show numbers on a 7-segment display, those numbers must be represented in a BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) format. 10-bit digital input and 10-bit digital output interface.4-digit multifunctional hexadecimal keyboard.10-bit binary to 3 digit 7-segment decoder.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.MERCIA has a number of I/O devices, namely a: This alphabet can be encoded with seven bits.ĭownload an alphabet chart for Siekoo (Excel - includes other scripts by Alexander Fakoó)Īll human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.A representation of Latin letters using 7 segments.Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines.Special emphasis was placed on easy legibility. Blind people could use the characters on electronic devices that have seven-segment displays with tactile elements. The result is an alphabet with unmistakable yet easily legible characters that can also be used for electronic devices, since all characters consistently only use these seven segments. In contrast to many other segment fonts, there are no deviations from the 7 possible segments, even with wider letters. It uses as a basis the seven-segment display to display all characters. The Siekoo alphabet was developed in 2012 by Alexander Fakoó as writing for the blind.
