7- Segment Display Datasheet (Generic)

1. Overview
 A 7-segment LED display is commonly used to display numeric values in electronic circuits. Each
segment is an individual LED, and by controlling which segments light up, different numbers can
be displayed.
 An SSD or Seven-Segment Display is a form of electronic display device for displaying decimal
numerals that is an alternative to the more complex dot matrix displays

Two Types of Segment


 Common Cathode (CC) – All cathodes are connected to GND, and each segment lights up
when its corresponding anode is HIGH.
 Example: If segment A is connected to Arduino pin 2, setting digitalWrite(2, HIGH); will
turn it ON.
 Common Anode (CA) – All anodes are connected to VCC (+5V), and each segment lights up
when its corresponding cathode is LOW.
 Example: If segment A is connected to Arduino pin 2, setting digitalWrite(2, LOW); will
turn it ON.

2. Truth Table (Which Segments to Light Up for Each Number)


3. Wiring Example for Arduino (Common Cathode)

Additional Notes:
 Always use 220Ω - 470Ω resistors for each segment to prevent burning out the LEDs.
 If using multiple digits, consider using a multiplexer or a shift register like the 74HC595.
 For a 4-digit display, you can use a driver like MAX7219.
Activity 1
7- Segment Display Datasheet

Materials:
 Arduino Uno/Nano/Mega (or any compatible board)
 Seven-segment display (Common Anode or Common Cathode)
 Resistors (220Ω - 470Ω, 8 pieces)
 Jumper wires
 Breadboard

Identify the Seven-Segment Display Pins


A 7-segment display has 10 pins (for a single-digit display), with:
 8 segment control pins (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, and dp for the decimal point)
 2 common pins (Common Anode or Common Cathode)

Use the datasheet of your specific seven-segment display model to confirm the pin configuration.

Connect the Seven-Segment Display to the Arduino


For a Common Cathode Display:
1. Connect the common cathode pins (pin
3 and pin 7) to GND on Arduino.
2. Connect segment pins (a to g and dp) to
Arduino digital pins through 220Ω resistors
to limit current and prevent LED damage.
For a Common Anode Display:
1. Connect the common anode pins (pin 3
and pin 7) to +5V on Arduino.
2. Connect segment pins (a to g and dp) to
Arduino digital pins through 220Ω resistors,
but in this case, set the pin LOW to turn on
a segment.

int digits[10][7]
 int → This specifies that the array stores integer values.
 digits → The name of the array.
 [10] → The first dimension indicates there are 10 rows (0 to 9),
which typically represent the digits 0 to 9.
 [7] → The second dimension indicates there are 7 columns, which
represent the 7 segments (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) of a seven-segment
display
Arduino Code
// Define segment pins
int A = 2, B = 3, C = 4, D = 5, E = 6, F = 7, G = 8, DP = 9;
int digits[10][7] = {
{1,1,1,1,1,1,0}, // 0
{0,1,1,0,0,0,0}, // 1
{1,1,0,1,1,0,1}, // 2
{1,1,1,1,0,0,1}, // 3
{0,1,1,0,0,1,1}, // 4
{1,0,1,1,0,1,1}, // 5
{1,0,1,1,1,1,1}, // 6
{1,1,1,0,0,0,0}, // 7
{1,1,1,1,1,1,1}, // 8
{1,1,1,0,0,1,1} // 9
};

void setup() {
// Set segment pins as OUTPUT
for (int i = 2; i <= 8; i++) {
pinMode(i, OUTPUT);
}
}

void loop() {
for (int num = 0; num <= 9; num++) {
displayNumber(num);
delay(1000); // Display each number for 1 second
}
}

void displayNumber(int num) {


for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
digitalWrite(2 + i, digits[num][i]); // Turn ON/OFF segment
}
}
