For applications not requiring fast conversion,a single circuit that can performboth conversions proves adequate. Onesuch circuit (Figure 1) utilizes up/downcounters to obtain the desired results.

The binary conversion function has an index of 0 to 18, while the BCD conversion function uses an index of 0 to 20. The decimal range of 0 to 99,999 determines these indices.
