Code Conversion (Binary to Gray & Gray to Binary)

To perform code conversion: Binary to Gray and Gray to Binary.

Theory

Code Converters translate one binary code format to another.

Binary to Gray: G3=B3, G2=B3⊕B2, G1=B2⊕B1, G0=B1⊕B0.

Gray to Binary: B3=G3, B2=B3⊕G2, B1=B2⊕G1, B0=B1⊕G0.

Gray codes are used to prevent spurious output in switches and counters.

Procedure

  1. Construct the circuit using XOR gates (7486).
  2. For Binary to Gray: Connect binary inputs to XOR gates as per logic.
  3. For Gray to Binary: Connect gray code inputs to XOR gates.
  4. Apply 4-bit numbers and observe the converted output.
