Let's start this article with an overview of Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) codes before moving on to discuss BCD addition. What is BCD? BCD or Binary Coded Decimal is a coding scheme used to represent decimal number (0 to 9) in the form of binary digits of a group of 4-bits. Binary coded decimal is the simplest form to convert decimal numbers into their equivalent binary format. Although, binary coded decimal or BCD is not the same as the normal binary representation. In binary coded decimal (BCD) coding scheme, each decimal digit is represented as a group of 4-bit binary ... Read More

In digital electronic systems, a register is a basic memory element used to store and manipulate data in binary form. A register is basically a group of flip-flops, where a flip-flop is a one-bit storage device. The storage capacity of a register depends on the number of flip-flops used within the register. Registers are commonly used in different parts of a digital electronic system like processor, arithmetic unit, memory unit, etc. Based on the application and functionality, registers are classified into various types, such as data registers, shift registers, memory registers, etc. In this article, we will explore ...

BCD stands for Binary Coded Decimal. BCD is a coding scheme used to represent decimal numbers in the binary format. In BCD coding scheme, each decimal digit, from 0 to 9, is encoded as a group of 4-bits. The BCD codes for 0 to 9 in the decimal number system is given in the table below. Decimal Digit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) 0 0000 ... Read More

Both TN (Twisted Nematic) and IPS (In-Phase Switching) panels are types of back panels used in LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays), however they are quite different from each other. The most fundamental difference between TN panel and IPS panel is in their viewing angles. TN panels have a narrow viewing angle, typically around 160° horizontally and 170° vertically, while IPS panels have a wider viewing angle, typically around 178° horizontally and 178° vertically. Read this article to learn more about TN and IPS panels and how they are different from each other. What are TN Panels? In the context of ... Read More
