Hexadecimal to Binary Conversion in MATLAB

This page provides MATLAB source code for converting hexadecimal values to binary.

% function [binary_op] = hex2binyb(data)
hexa='aa83d32'
data=hexa;
% function [binary_op] = hex2binyb(data)

bin     =     [0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 1; 0 0 1 0; 0 0 1 1; 0 1 0 0; 0 1 0 1; 0 1 1 0; 0 1 1 1; 1 0 0 0; 1 0 0 1; 1 0 1 0; 1 0 1 1; 1 1 0 0; 1 1 0 1; 1 1 1 0; 1 1 1 1];
hex     =   ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'];
data    =   lower(data);
data1=length(data);
binary_op   =   [];

for p = 1:data1
    index(p) = find(hex == data(p));
    binary_op   =   [binary_op bin(index(p),:)];
end

Input and Output Example

Given the hexadecimal input:

hexa = aa83d32

binary_op =
