 Lab13: Design of a BCD to Seven Segment decoder circuit with 4-Digits
multiplexed display using MSI ICs.

The aim of this lab experiment is to enhance student’s prototyping skills related to the digital
circuits. In this lab they will get familiarized with use of different MSI ICs of their own choice
available in the lab to design a BCD-to-Seven-Segment Decoder for multiplexed display and use
the available ICs to display last two digits of their CMS ID. This lab requires some knowledge
of combinational circuits like Multiplexers, Decoders/Demultiplexers, Encoders, Tristate gates,
different type of logic gates, and multiple Numeric Read-out Displays.
(Different designs with the same functionality are acceptable.)

Objectives

✓ Design and verify combinational circuit design using different implementation models.
✓ Understand the function of Multiplexers, Decoders/DeMultiplexers, Tristate gates, different
logic gates and their application in digital design.
✓ Familiarization with BCD-to-Seven-Segment Decoder IC as a driver to drive Numeric Read-
out.
✓ Transform any problem statement to truth table description, and choose output functions
that need Multiplexers implementation or other simplification techniques using logic gates.

Lab Instructions

✓ This lab activity comprises three parts, namely Pre-lab, Lab tasks, and Post-Lab Viva
session.
✓ The lab report will be uploaded on LMS two to three weeks before scheduled lab date.
The students will get hard copy of lab report, complete the Pre-lab task before coming
to the lab and deposit it with teacher/lab engineer for necessary evaluation.
✓ The students will start lab task and demonstrate design steps separately for step-wise
evaluation (course instructor/lab engineer will sign each step after ascertaining
functional verification)
✓ Remember that a neat logic diagram with pins numbered coupled with nicely patched
circuit will simplify trouble-shooting process.
✓ After the lab, students are expected to unwire the circuit and deposit back components
before leaving.
✓ The students will complete lab task and submit complete report to Lab Engineer
before leaving lab.
✓ There are related questions at the end of this activity. Give complete answers.

 B. Lab Task

(Complete the design and simulation work before coming to the lab)

4. Design BCD-to-Seven-segment Decoder/Driver Circuit using any MSI ICs of your own choice
and show it to your teacher/lab Engr.

5. Show your complete circuit in working condition after completing the Logic Diagram with the
ICs name and Configuration and implement it in hardware.

ICs you may use in this lab

1. All types of gates available in the lab
2. Decoder/Driver IC
3. Multiplexers, Decoders/DE multiplexers
4. Seven segment displays (Common anode or cathode)
5. Tristate buffer IC

NOTE: Please think out of the box while designing your circuit
(Same circuit can be implemented using any appropriate combination of above named
hardware components)

We have designed BCD-to-Seven Segment Decoder with AND-OR Gates.

Conclusion:
The BCD to 7-segment decode, using an AND-OR implementation, presents an efficient and
straightforward approach to convert binary-coded decimal inputs into their corresponding seven-
segment display outputs. By harnessing the specific characteristics of AND and OR gates in
concert, this method showcases simplicity, compact circuitry, and efficient functionality in translating
the four-digit binary input into the essential signals required to activate specific segments on the 7-
segment display. Its utility is evident in its capacity to establish a direct and dependable correlation
between BCD inputs and the intended visual representation on the display, rendering it a valuable
solution for diverse digital display applications.
