THE 8421 BCD CODE

BCD stands for Binary-Coded Decimal.
A BCD number is a four-bit binary group that
represents one of the ten decimal digits 0 through 9.
Example:

Decimal number 4926

8421 BCD coded number 0100 1001 0010 0110

Electronic decoders are available in IC form.

This decoder translates from BCD to decimal.

Decimals are shown on an 7-segment LED display.
This IC also drives the 7-segment LED display.
