Plus five and invert algorithm

摘要

A four bit binary coded decimal (BCD) up/down counter includes a four bit adder and associated logic circuitry configured to feed therethrough the incoming BCD code words as the actual output for the up count and for the down count, add binary 5 to the incoming BCD code word for 1 through 9 and invert each bit of the resulting code words, and feeding the BCD code word for zero directly to the output.
