Digital Techniques (313303)

Practical No.8: Test the output of BCD to 7Segment Decoder using Digital IC for the
given inputs.

Practical Significance
BCD is an binary-coded decimal. BCD is a way of representing decir
numbers in abbreviation
for
binary form. The IC takes a 4-bit BCD input and converts it into
coresponding 7-segment display outputs. It is used to display decimal numbers,

Relevant Theoretical Background
EDUG
A decoder is a
combinational circuit that connects the binary information from
to a maximum of 2n unique
output 'n'input line
converter. The IC7447 takes the Binarylines.CodedThe IC7447 is a BCD to 7-segment patten
relevant 7 segmnent code. A seven segment Decimal (BCD) as the input and outputs the
seven segment indicator. There are two decoder is an IC decoder that can be
used to dfive
anode display (CAD) and types of 7-segment digital display 1 Common
inputs and 7 output pins (a 2.common cathode display (CCD). Each decoder
