[7 SEGMENT BCD CONVERTER]

Acknowledgement

There is much difference between saying and doing. So, to get theoretical knowledge is not enough. It provides only base. In our fourth semester ECD Lab will be there. In this lab we have to in touch with our practical instruments like function generator, CRO, multimeter, Solder iron etc. And we also study about the various component of the electronics field and At last we have to submit one project which will deal with the our Practical field. So, we make a one project namely BCD to Seven Segment Decoder We put our lots of effort to do this project and try our best. We belive that Practical leads a man towards Perfomance In this project we thanks to our colleges which helps to motivate us. At last we thankful to the Mr.Yousaf sir who help us to decide this project and encourage us.

:INTRODUCTION TO BCD TO SEVEN SEGMENT:

This type of decoder accept the bcd code and provides output to the energize seven segment display device in order to produce decimal read out. Generally two ics used for the BCD to seven segment decoder.(1)7447 & (2)7448.7447 used for the common anode display and 7448 is used for the common cathode display. There are many devices used for the display. The commonly used displays in the digital electronics field are as follows. 1: Cathode Ray Tube(CRT) 2:Light Emitting Diode(LED) 3:Liquid Crystal Device(LCD) 4:Gas Discharge Plasma Display(Nixie) 5:Electro-Luminescent(EL) Display 6:Electrophoretic Image Display(EPID) 7:Liquid Vapour Display(LVD) ,etc. Display device provide a visual display of number ,letters and symbols in response to electrical input,and serves as constituents of an electronic display system. The above circuit shows the output of the seven segment display

APPLICATIONS OF SEVEN SEGMENT:

There are many applications of the seven segment but some important applications are stated below: * Instrument LED display * In Calculator as a display * In digital watches * IR LED finds application in burglar-alarm syste

: INTRODUCTION

IC 7447 is basically a driver IC.It is used drive the seven segment display.The main use of the 7447 is it is used to conver the BCD code to the appropriate output that can drive the seven segment LED.It is mainly used for the common anode type of the seven segment. IC 7447 is 16 pin device.in which the pin number 8 is given as a ground and pin number 16 is given as a 5V supply to drive ic.1,2,6 and 7 pin is given as a input of the BCD code and from the pin 9,10,11,12,13,14 and 15 the output is given to the seven segment and as per the input BCD code output given in to decimal number on the seven segment display.

INSTRUCTIONS

This experiment is more of an introduction to the 4511 decoder/display driver IC than it is a lesson in how to "build up" a digital function from lower-level components. Since 7-segment displays are verycommon components of digital devices, it is good to be familiar with the "driving" circuits behind them, and the 4511 is a good example of a typical driver IC.

Most 7-segment displays also provide for a decimal point (sometimes two!), a separate LED and terminal designated for its operation. All LEDs inside the display unit are made common to each other on one side, either cathode or anode. The 4511 display driver IC requires a common-cathode7-segment display unit, and so that is what is used here. Three inputs on the 4511 chip have been permanently connected to either Vdd or ground: the "Lamp Test," "Blanking Input," and "Latch Enable." To learn what these inputs do, remove the short jumpers connecting them to either power supply rail (one at a time!), and replace the short jumper with a longer one that can reach the other power supply rail. For example, remove the short jumper connecting the "Latch Enable" input (pin #5) to ground, and replace it with a long jumper wire that can reach all the way to the Vdd power supply rail. Experiment with making this input "high" and "low," observing the results on the 7-segment display as you alter the BCD code with the four input switches. After you've learned what the input's function is, connect it to the power supply rail enabling normal operation, and proceed to experiment with the next input (either "Lamp Test" or "Blanking Input").

Once again, the manufacturer's datasheet will be informative as to the purpose of each of these three inputs. Note that the "Lamp Test" (LT) and "Blanking Input" (BI) input labels are written with boolean complementation bars over the abbreviations. Bar symbols designate these inputs as active-low, meaning that you must make each one "low" in order to invoke its particular function. Making an activelow input "high" places that particular input into a "passive" state where its function will not be invoked. Conversely, the "Latch Enable" (LE) input has no complementation bar written over its abbreviation, and correspondingly it is shown connected to ground ("low") in the schematic so as to not invoke that function. The "Latch Enable" input is an active-high input, which means it must be made "high" (connected to Vdd) in order to invoke its function.

7-Segment Display Elements for all Numbers.

It can be seen that to display any single digit number from 0 to 9 or letter from A to F, we would need 7 separate segment connections plus one additional connection for the LED's "common" connection. Also as the segments are basically a standard light emitting diode, the driving circuit would need to produce up to 20mA of current to illuminate each individual segment and to display the number 8, all 7 segments would need to be lit resulting a total current of nearly 140mA, (8 x 20mA). Obviously, the use of so many connections and power consumption is impractical for some electronic or microprocessor based circuits and so in order to reduce the number of signal lines required to drive just one single display, display decoders such as the BCD to 7-Segment Display Decoder and Driver IC's are used instead. .
