Decimal to BCD Encoding
Digital systems interfacing with seven-segment displays or human-readable numeric outputs natively use Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) rather than pure binary. A conversion block receives the two-digit decimal input 47. It translates this decimal value into an 8-bit output representing the BCD equivalent. Analyze the encoding rules for BCD and determine the exact bit pattern produced for the input 47. Compare this output to a standard binary conversion to identify the structural differences.
Constraints
- The output is an 8-bit sequence representing two BCD digits.
- Pure binary conversion of the whole number is not used.
