Question

I am designing an 8 bit calculator on Logisim and am having difficulty with the final display. I need to convert an 8 bit result to display onto two hex digit displays. Each display has 2 inputs. 1 for the 4 bit binary that is converted to hex on the display and one controls the decimal point. Please explain the best way to display my result on these to displays.

Thanks!

Answer 1

ok so the displays are taking 4 bit inputs as well as the signal to display the decimal point(this can be neglected as in this case the decimal point is not required to be displayed)

as you said you have 8 bit output of your system so to display it you need to perform below steps

1) select hex digit display from input/output

2) select a splitter from wiring and configure fanout= 4 and bit width in = 4

3) repeat this for the second display also

4) now you have total 8 bit input(4 from each splitter)

connect the 8 bit output of your system to these 8 bit input

your calculator now has a display
