Ee501: BCD Seven Segment Trainer
Ee501: BCD Seven Segment Trainer
INTRODUCTION
The seven elements of the display can be lit in different combinations to represent the Arabic
numerals. Often the seven segments are arranged in an oblique (slanted) arrangement, which aids
readability. In most applications, the seven segments are of nearly uniform shape and size
(usually elongated hexagons, though trapezoids and rectangles can also be used), though in the
case of adding machines, the vertical segments are longer and more oddly shaped at the ends in
an effort to further enhance readability.
The numerals 6, 7 and 9 may be represented by two or more different glyphs on seven-segment
displays, with or without a 'tail'.
The seven segments are arranged as a rectangle of two vertical segments on each side with one
horizontal segment on the top, middle, and bottom. Additionally, the seventh segment bisects the
rectangle horizontally. There are also fourteen-segment displays and sixteen-segment displays
(for full alphanumeric); however, these have mostly been replaced by dot matrix displays.
The segments of a 7-segment display are referred to by the letters A to G, where the optional DP
decimal point (an "eighth segment") is used for the display of non-integer numbers. The seven
segment function is convert the logic states at the outputs of a BCD, or binary coded decimal,
counter.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
1. Skills that students need to read the BCD to Seven Segment Decoder output.
2. Students do not understand well about the BCD to Seven Segment concept
3. Lack of diversity in teaching and learning process.
OBJECTIVE
1. To design a simple trainer for the student to read the BCD to Seven Segment Decoder
output.
2. To help students to understand the BCD to Seven Segment Decoder concept.
3. To create variety of teaching and learning process.
