Exp. 7 DECA

The document describes an experiment to study and verify the function of a BCD to seven segment decoder integrated circuit and the operation of a 7-segment display. It provides background on BCD encoding and 7-segment displays, explains how the decoder converts a BCD input into signals to light the correct LED segments on the display to show a number, and gives instructions for building the circuit on a trainer board or breadboard.

AIM: To study and verify the function of BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) to seven segment
decoder (IC 7447) and operation of 7-segment display on digital trainer kit.

APPARATUS:
1. Trainer board having IC’s 7447
2. 7-segment display
3. Connecting wires.

Features of trainer Kit:


1. Built in regulated DC power supply
2. Power supply: voltage range AC 5-10 V, Frequency 50 Hz.

THEORY:

The Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) encoding method uses binary patterns to encode each
decimal value (from 0 to 9), generally of 4-bits. In contrast, a seven-segment display is an
electrical device that displays Hexadecimal digits using seven Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
arranged in a specific pattern (common cathode or common anode type) as shown in Fig. 7.1
(in this case, decimal numbers, as input, are BCD, i.e., 0-9).

Figure 7.1: Seven segment display

7-Segment LED displays are of two types:


1. Common Cathode Type (CCT) - This form of the display works by connecting all seven of
the LEDs' cathodes to ground or -Vcc (thus, common cathode), which causes the LEDs to
display numbers when a "HIGH" signal is applied to each anode.

Experiment No. 07

2. Common Anode Type (CAT) - The seven LEDs in this display have all seven of their anodes
linked to a battery or +Vcc, and when a 'LOW' signal is applied to each individual cathode,
the LEDs display numbers.

The separate LED segments of a seven-segment display are not directly powered. However,
for it to function, we first convert our decimal number to its BCD equivalent signal, and then
a BCD to seven-segment decoder converts that signal into the form supplied to the seven-
segment display.

7 LED segments of the display and their pins are “a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e”, “f” & “g” as shown in
the Fig. 7.2. Each of the pins will illuminate the specific segment only.

Suppose we want to display digit ‘0’, in order to display 0, we need to turn on “a”, “b”, “c”,
“d”, “e”, “f”. & turn-off the “g”. which would look like the figure given below.

To display the digit 1 we need to turn on the segments b, c. and turn off the LED segments a,
d, e, f, and g. This configuration will result in the display as shown in the Fig. 7.2.

To display the digit 2 we need to turn on the segments a, b, d, e, g. and turn off the LED
segments c, f. This configuration will result in the display as shown in the Fig. 7.2.

To display the digit 9 we need to turn on the segments a, b, c, d, f, g. and turn off the LED
segments e. This configuration will result in the display as shown in the Fig. 7.2. Like this,
various digits can be displayed on Seven segment display with various combinations of
segments as shown in Table 7.1.

PROCEDURE:

1. Select any inputs from the trainer board for truth-table analysis.
2. Connect the input terminals of the gate from trainer board input section.
3. Connect the output terminal of gate to output section of trainer board.
4. Switch on the power supply.
5. Vary the inputs of gate i.e. high or low and note down the output.
6. Draw the table and verify it from truth table of the gate.

Procedure:
1. Insert the LED, resistor, and a chip into the right half of the breadboard, as shown in
the Fig. 7.3. Make sure the notch in the chip is on the top, and make sure the longer
lead of the LED is on the left.

2. Connect the IC to 7 segment display.


3. Connect the output from the 7447 IC to the LED.
4. Connect the chip’s power and ground inputs to the + and – columns of the breadboard,
respectively.
5. Reconnect the power supply to the breadboard.
6. Disconnect the power from the breadboard again.
7. Carefully remove the chip using the chip extractor tool.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. The connections should be neat and tight.
2. Do not switch ON the trainer board without checking and verifying the connections.
3. It should be ensured that the applied voltage do not exceed the ratings of trainer board
(Maximum by 2V).
4. Read all instructions carefully before starting of the experiment.
5. The LEDs should be connected in according to circuit for accurate output.

CONCLUSION:
The BCD to seven segment display conversion has been verified.
