Abstract
An arithmetic logic array employing soft-saturating current mode logic gates operates on pure binary data or binary coded decimal data. Two 4-bit data inputs are received along with a 5-bit Op code, a carry input, and decimal arithmetic operation signals. In response to a decimal add (DA) one data input is increased by a count of six, and in response to either a BCD add or a BCD subtract (DA + DS) the output is decreased by a count of six if no carry output is generated.
