    Seven-segment displays are commonly used to display digits in devices like clocks, calculators, and counters. A seven-segment display decoder circuit is used to convert 4-bit binary coded decimal (BCD) input into the correct signal pattern for illuminating the segments in the display. There are two common types of seven-segment displays - common cathode and common anode - which differ in how the segments and electrodes are connected. The document describes the circuit design and components used to build a BCD to seven-segment display decoder, including logic gates, a breadboard, and a seven-segment display.

    INTRODUCTION

    Most seven-segment shows are used to display digits on digital clocks, calculators, clocks, activity
    instruments and digital counters, etc. In general, the digital display and LED segments provide
    numeric and numeric character output. However, to display characters and numbers (to read
    decimal), seven section screens are used most often. Most of the time, these screens are controlled
    by the output stages of the integrated digital circuits (where a visual indication of the output stages
    should be made), such as latches and decade counters, etc.
    However, these outputs are within the range of a 4-bit binary decimal code (BCD) and do not
    appear to be appropriate for direct management of seven segment displays. A screen decoder is used
    to convert a BCD or code into a seven section code. It always has four input lines and seven output
    lines. Here, we tend to design logic ports for easy display decoder circuit operation. While 7-
    segment BCD decoders are offered for business, the screen decoder's operating logic ports are often
    economically useful and the information is useful.
    • Common cathode Display (CCD): during this kind of screen, the cathode terminal of all LEDs is
    connected to logic "0" or ground. Individual segments are illuminated by applying a "HIGH" "1"
    logic signal to the individual anode terminals. 
    • The common Anode Display (CAD): in the common anode fabric, all of the two LED
    connections are connected to logic “1” and the individual segments are illuminated by connecting
    the individual cathode to “0 LOW”.

    BCD to seven segment decoder is a circuit used to convert the input BCD into a form suitable for
    the display. It has four input lines (A, B, C and D) and 7 output lines (a, b, c, d, e, f and g) as shown
    in Figure . Considering common cathode type of arrangement, the truth table for the decoder can be
    given along the report.
