Decoders BCD To Seven Segment

A BCD to 7-segment decoder circuit converts binary coded decimal (BCD) numbers into signals that illuminate individual segments of a 7-segment display. A 7-segment display uses 7 LED segments plus a common connection to represent numeric digits. There are two types: common cathode displays connect all cathodes to ground, while common anode displays connect all anodes to power. To display a number like "3", the a, b, c, d and g segments would be illuminated.

DECODERS BCD TO

S EVEN SEGMENT
DECODER
is a circuit that changes a code into a set of
signals.
BCD (BINARY CODED
DECIMAL)
is another process for converting decimal
numbers into their binary equivalents
SEVEN SEGMENT
7-segment LED (Light Emitting Diode) or
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). provide a
convenient way of displaying information or
digital data in the form of numbers, letters
or even alpha-numerical characters.
Typically 7-segment
displays consist of
seven individual SEGMENT

colored LED’s (called


the segments), within
one single display
package.
• A standard 7-segment
LED display generally
has eight (8) input
connections, one for
each LED segment and
one that acts as a
common terminal or
connection for all the
internal display
segments.
TWO IMPORTANT TYPES OF 7-
SEGMENT LED DIGITAL DISPLAY.
1. The Common Cathode Display (CCD) -
All the cathode connections of the LED’s
are joined together to logic “0” or ground.
The individual segments are illuminated by
application of a “HIGH”, logic “1” signal to
the individual Anode terminals.
2. The Common Anode Display (CAD) -
All the anode connections of the LED’s are
joined together to logic “1”.The individual
segments are illuminated by connecting the
individual Cathode terminals to a “LOW”,
logic “0” signal.
• So in order to A
display the number

B
“3” for example,
segments a, b, c, d G

and g would need

C
to be illuminated.
D
BINARY CODED DECIMAL
(BCD or “8421” BCD)numbers are made up using just 4
data bits (a nibble or half a byte) similar to the Hexadecimal
numbers we saw in the binary tutorial, but unlike
hexadecimal numbers that range in full from 0 through to F
