 Introduction
The binary numeral system is ordered in the reflected binary code or Gray code so that two subsequent values only differ by
one bit (binary digit). In the typical sequence of binary numbers produced by the hardware that could provide an error or
ambiguity during the change from one number to the next, gray codes are highly helpful. Since only one bit changes its value
during any transition between two values, the Gray code can readily solve this problem.

Karnaugh maps, rotary and optical encoders, and error detection all make use of gray codes. Since the hamming distance
between any two neighboring Gray codes, as well as the distance between the first and last Gray codes, is always 1, these
codes are also known as cyclic codes.

The term "binary to gray code converter" refers to the logical circuit that transforms binary code into its equivalent gray code.
By reflecting an n-1 bit code about an axis after 2n-1 rows and placing the MSB (Most Significant Bit) of 0 above the axis and
the MSB of 1 below the axis, an n-bit gray code can be produced.

 Conclusion
BCD stands for binary coded decimal. Gray code is a binary encoding where two successive values differ in
only one bit. The purpose of this paper is to present the conversion from BCD to gray code. The conclusion is
that the conversion is possible with a simple formula.

A Gray code converter that transforms binary coded numbers to Gray coded numbers and vice versa was
created and tested. Our target specifications were met

The circuit is relatively portable, small, and has many uses. Most often, it is used in the sphere of
communication.

The added benefit is the straightforward design and affordable manufacture.
