D9 512 Most Significant Bit
The binary value of the data lines is the sum of the individual data lines: D0
+ D1 + D2 + D3 + D4 + D5 + D6 + D7 +D8 + D9 = Value
. For example: if
D0, D4 and D7 are at some voltage level, and the others are at ground level,
the value on the data lines is D0 + D4 + D7 = 1 +16 + 128 = 145.
Data Line Values (BCD)
In the BCD system, 4 bits represent one decimal digit. Table 7.C shows the
value of the data lines using BCD data inputs.
