Logic Circuits and Design

This document summarizes a final experiment submitted by five students for their Logic Circuits and Switching Theory course. The objectives were to create a circuit that displays the numbers 0-9 on a 7-segment display. The materials used included a 7-segment display. The procedure involved analyzing the display, constructing a truth table, deriving the logic expressions using Karnaugh maps, and drawing the combinational logic circuit. Tables showed the truth table and logic diagram. The conclusion discussed that the circuit was complex with many gates, timing delays could impact accuracy, and modifications could enable uses as a counter or alphabet display.

Objectives
- To be able to create a circuit that displays 0-9 on the 7 segment
display.

II.

Materials
- 7 segment

III.

Procedure
- Step 1: The first step of the design involves analysis of the common cathode 7segment display. A 7-segment display consists of an arrangement of LEDs in an
H form. A truth table is constructed with the combination of inputs for each
decimal number. For example, decimal number 1 would command a combination
of b and c (refer the diagram given below).

Step 2: The second step involves constructing the truth table listing the 7

display input signals, decimal number and corresponding 4 digit binary


numbers.
The truth table for the decoder design depends on the type of 7-segment
display. As we mentioned above that for a common cathode sevensegment display, the output of decoder or segment driver must be active
high in order to glow the segment.

The figure below shows the truth table of a BCD to seven-segment


decoder with common cathode display. In the truth table , there are 7
different output columns corresponding to each of the 7 segments.
Suppose the column for segment a shows the different combinations for
which it is to be illuminated. So a is active for the digits 0, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
and 9.
Step 3: The third step involves constructing the Karnoughs map for each
output term and then simplifying them to obtain a logic combination of
inputs for each output
Step 4: The final step involves drawing a combinational logic circuit for
each output signal. Once the task was accomplished, a combinational
logic circuit can be drawn using 4 inputs (A,B,C,D)and a 7- segment
display (a,b,c,d,e,f,g) as output.

Observation and Conclusion

1.

This circuit involves lot of logic gates and is quite complex.

2.

Timing delay by each logic gate is a matter of concern and this circuit might not
produce accurate results when used to display count of pulses.

3.

This is a theoretical circuit and may require few modifications.

4. This circuit can be modified using timers and counters to display the number of
clock pulses.
5. This circuit can be modified to develop an alphabet display system instead of a
decimal number display system.
6. It can be used as a timer circuit.
