8255 Seven

The document discusses seven segment displays and time multiplexing to control multiple displays using a limited number of port pins. It explains that a seven segment display uses an array of LED segments with a common anode or cathode lead. When displaying on multiple displays, each display's segments are switched on and off in sequence using a delay shorter than the human eye can detect to make it appear they are all on simultaneously.

Seven Segment Display

What about more than one display?


4 digit X 7 segment = 28 LEDs
Port pins limited
Time Multiplexing
Switch ON one digit at a time delay
switch off current digit switch ON next (cycle)
Human eye cant detect 10 ms delay
Divide 10 ms by no. of displays = interval
