Binary to Gray Code Converter



”;


A binary-to-gray code converter is a type of code converter that can translate a binary code into its equivalent gray code.

The binary-to-gray code converter accepts a binary number as input and produces a corresponding gray code as output.

Here is the truth table explaining the operation of a 4-bit binary-to-gray code converter.




















Binary Code Gray Code
B3 B2 B1 B0 G3 G2 G1 G0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1
0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0
0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0
0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1
0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1
0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0
1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0
1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1
1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1
1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0
1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0
1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1
1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1
1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0

Let us derive the Boolean expressions for the gray code output bits. For this, we will simplify the truth table using the K-map technique.

K-Map for Gray Code Bit G0

The K-Map simplification to obtain the Boolean expression for the gray code bit G0 is shown in the following figure.

Hence, the Boolean expression for the gray code bit G0 is,

$$\mathrm{G_{0} \: = \: \overline{B_{1}} \: B_{0} \: + \ B_{1} \: \overline{B_{0}} \: = \: B_{0} \: \oplus \: B_{1}}$$

Hence, the Boolean expression for the gray code bit G3 is,

$$\mathrm{G_{3} \: = \: B_{3}}$$

Let us now utilize these Boolean expressions to implement the logic circuit of the binary-to-gray code converter.
