EXPERIMENT NO :7
BCD TO 7-SEGMENT DECODER AND DISPLAY
Aim:
To design and set up BCD to 7 segment decoder
Components and equipments required:
ICs 7446, 7490, FND507
Theory
7 Segment indicator
It consists of 7 LEDs labelled a through g. By forward biasing different LEDs we can
display the digits 0 through 9. The 7 segment LED display is the most popular device used in
digital system. To use this display device, the data which is in the BCD format has to be
changed suitably. For this purpose a BCD to7 segment decoder is used.7 segment indicators
are of two types, common anode type and common cathode type. In common anode type
anodes of all 7 LEDs are tied together. While in common cathode all cathodes are tied
together. When common anode is used current limiting resistors must be connected between
every LED segments and ground. When a common cathode type is used a resistor must be
connected between every LED segments and Vcc.
7446 decoder
It has 4 input lines for receiving the BCD data and 7 output lines to drive a 7 segment
display. The functions of LT, RBI, RBO and BIS are given below. LT-This is called lamp
test terminal and is used for segment testing. If it is connected to logic 0 level all the
segments of the display connected to the decoder will be on. For normal decoding operation,
this terminal is connected to logic 1. RBI-For normal decoding operation, this is connected to
logic 1.If it is connected to logic 0,the segment outputs will generate data for normal 7
segment decoding, for all BCD inputs except 0. Whenever the BCD inputs correspond to
0,the 7 segment display switches off. This is used for zero blanking in multi digit display.
RBA-This is used for cascading purposes and is connected to RBI terminal of succeeding
stage. BI- This is blanking input. If it is connected to logic 0 level, the display will be
switched off irrespective of BCD inputs
