Binary to Decimal Converter (BCD) | Double Dabble Algorithm

Improved Version

This is a circuit that instantly converts binary numbers to decimal.

BLUE: Input 8-bit number (0-255)
(128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1 )

GREEN: Output 3x 4-bit decimal number
(8.4.2.1) - (8.4.2.1) - (8.4.2.1) --> (100 - 10 - 1)

The 3 green outputs output a 3 digit decimal number (each output is 1 digit).


It's capable of converting 40 numbers every second and has a delay (from input to output) of 13 ticks (0.325 seconds).

Enjoy!


Sidenote:
If you want to reconnect the input gates you can do that by connecting new logic gates to the blue painted logic gates on the circuit. Be sure to include the timers as you won't be able to convert 40 numbers per second without them.
