Seven Segment Display

Objectives:
 To experimentally check the operation of 7-segment display using BCD to 7-segment decoder
7447.

Equipment required:
 ICs as required
 Digital Electronics Trainer

Background Knowledge:

A BCD to seven-segment decoder is a logic circuit often used for the visual display of digital information.
The seven outputs of the decoder will drive the seven segments on a corresponding display. BCD is the
acronym for Binary Coded Decimal. The BCD system is used to represent the decimal numbers from 0 to
9 in a binary format suitable for digital devices. A four-bit code is required with the decimal characters 0
through 9 represented by the binary numbers 0000 through 1001. The combinations 1010 through 1111
are not used. A BCD to seven-segment decoder will allow the display of a binary coded decimal on a
seven-segment display. The input to the decoder is a number from 0 through 9 in BCD and the output
provides the seven inputs required to drive the seven-segment display.
The seven segment display chip contains 7 LEDs, similar to the ones you have been using. The only
difference is that they have been packaged into a single chip, and they have a different shape. The seven
LEDs are not used individually; instead they are wired so their one end is common. If the anodes of the
LEDs are wired together it is called “Common Anode” configuration and if the cathodes are connected
together, it is known as “Common Cathode” configuration. Both the configurations are shown below.
Task 1:
Steps:
1. Check the configuration of your 7-segment display using a Multi-meter. Find out its
configuration and pin-assignment.
2. Create the truth table describing the function of a BCD to seven-segment decoder according to
the configuration of your display. The lower case letters, a-g, represent the Segments on the
display while the upper case letters A0-A3 represent the BCD input.
3. Design a circuit showing the proper connections of the decoder and the 7-segment display. Invert
the outputs of the decoder in case of common cathode display. The output pins of 7447 are
connected to the pins of seven segment display chip as shown below:

4. Implement the circuit on the trainer. Enter BCD numbers from 0 to 9 and see the corresponding
decimal digit on the display.

Simulation Activity:
Conclusion:

It is possible to display any single digit number on a 7-segment display


by sending a high digital signal to the specific segments that make up
the number. However, this method requires us to encode the letters
manually. It is not the best solution to output changing numbers for
application such as counters.

It is possible to display the decimal value of a binary number on a 7-


segment display using a BCD decoder.

However, this method will allow displaying only digits from 0 to 9 and
letters A to F.
