Bcd in a sentence

BCD in electronics BCD is very common in electronic systems where a numeric value is to be displayed, especially in systems consisting solely of digital logic, and not containing a microprocessor.

Batting for solar power project developers, the Union power ministry will seek exemption of the upcoming basic customs duty (BCD) to be levied on the import of solar cells and panels.

BCD asks that volunteers bring their own kayak/canoe, but may contact the district office if they do not have access to a boat.

Adders require extra logic to cause them to wrap and generate a carry early. 15 20 percent more circuitry is needed for BCD add compared to pure binary.

Another button opens a valve to deflate the BCD and decrease the volume of the equipment and causes the diver to lose buoyancy.

A variable length Packed BCD numeric data type is also implemented, providing machine instructions that perform arithmetic directly on packed decimal data.

BCD extended existing simple four-bit numeric encoding to include alphabetic and special characters, mapping it easily to punch-card encoding which was already in widespread use.

By employing BCD, the manipulation of numerical data for display can be greatly simplified by treating each digit as a separate single sub-circuit.

Chen-Ho encoding provides a boolean transformation for converting groups of three BCD-encoded digits to and from 10-bit values that can be efficiently encoded in hardware with only 2 or 3 gate delays.

Each decimal digit is stored in one byte, with the lower four bits encoding the digit in BCD form.

Early computers used a variety of four-bit binary coded decimal (BCD) representations and the six-bit codes for printable graphic patterns common in the U.S. Army ( Fieldata ) and Navy.

In BCD as in decimal, there cannot exist a value greater than 9 (1001) per digit.

In more recent computers such capabilities are almost always implemented in software rather than the CPU's instruction set, but BCD numeric data is still extremely common in commercial and financial applications.

Input/Output translation hardware converted between the internal digit pairs and the external standard 6-bit BCD codes.

In the event that an invalid entry (any BCD digit greater than 1001) exists, 6 is added to generate a carry bit and cause the sum to become a valid entry.

In the headers to the table, the '8 4 2 1', indicates the weight of each bit shown; note that in the fifth column, "BCD 8 4 −2 −1", two of the weights are negative.

It is possible to implement a floating-point system with BCD encoding.

Most pocket calculators do all their calculations in BCD.

Often, smaller code results when representing numbers internally in BCD format, since a conversion from or to binary representation can be expensive on such limited processors.

Placing the CPU into BCD mode with the SED (set D flag) instruction results in decimal arithmetic, in which $99 + $01 would result in $00 and the carry (C) flag being set.
