Project Deliverable 1
Digital Design: Seven-Segment Display, Calculators,
Counters

Project Description
This project requires students to research three key digital design
components: seven-segment displays, binary counters, and calculators. The
study focuses on their applications, functionality, and integration in digital
systems. Students will explore how seven-segment displays are controlled
and used in devices like calculators, the structure and components of binary
calculators, and the operation of counters, including up/down and
synchronous/asynchronous types. The final report should include academic
citations, proper organization, paraphrasing, and diagrams to support
explanations.

Project Instructions
1. Abstract: Provide a concise summary of the key topics and the aim of the
project.

2. Introduction: Offer an overview of the components being researched

and their significance in digital electronics.

3. Literature Review:

1. Seven-Segment Display: Conduct research on seven-segment displays,

explaining how they operate and the role of each segment (a-g). Discuss
practical applications of seven-segment displays in digital systems.

2. Binary Calculator:

 What is a binary calculator? Discuss its importance in digital systems and

explain how it performs arithmetic operations.

 Explore how to display results from the binary calculator on a seven-segment

display, including any necessary conversions.

3. Counters:
 Explain what a counter is and how it works in a digital circuit.

 Differentiate between up-counters and down-counters, focusing on their

behaviour and applications.

 Distinguish between asynchronous counters and synchronous counters,

emphasizing their working principles and performance differences.

4. Conclusion: Summarize the research findings and provide a brief

reflection on the role of these components in modern digital electronics.

5. References: Cite at least three academic sources in APA style to support

the research.

 1. Seven Segment Displays
Definition:
A seven-segment LED is a digital
display module specialized to display
numerical information.

How it works:
The Anode (CA) –, all the anode connections of
the LED lights are connected to logic “high”.
The individual letters in display are connected
to ground, logic “LOW” signal via a suitable
The way how seven segment work like truth table down:

2. Binary Calculator:
a binary number is defined as a number that is expressed in the binary system or base 2
numeral system. It describes numeric values by two separate symbols: 1 (one) and 0 (zero).
The base-2.

Convert binary to decimal:(4)10=(100)2

The way of converting between two systems

Dividend Remainder

(4/2 = 2) (0)

(2/2 = 1) (0)

(1/2 = 0) (1)

Converting between binary and octal and hexadecimal:

Method of convert binary to octal.
Group every 3 binary bits from right to left and write the number from the table.
(101010101)2 to octal
= (101010101)2= (101) (010) (101) = (525)8
Method of convert binary to hexadecimal.
Group every 4 binary bits from right to left and write the hex from table.
Convert (101010101)2 to hexadecimal
= (101010101)2= (0001) (0101) (0101) = (155)16

 3. Counters in Digital Logic
A Counter is a device which stores (and sometimes displays) the number of times a
particular event or process has occurred
Types of counters up counter and down counter
Another classified of counters:
 Asynchronous counter
 Synchronous counter

1.Asynchronous (Ripple) Counter

• Asynchronous means that flip-flops within counter do not change states at the
same
time because they do not have a common clock pulse.

For example 4-bit binary Ripple Counter

A four-bit binary counter circuit is shown in the following figure
.
1
MOD-16 counter has the output frequency of 16 of the input clock frequency.

Thus, it can also be called a divide-by-16 counter.

 Timing Diagram:

2. Synchronous Counter
• The ripple down counters, will count downward from maximum state (2n-1) to
zero.
For example:3-bit Ripple Down Counter
1. 3 JK flip flops (FF) in the toggle mode (J=K=1). This means that each FF will
change state with a NT at its clock input.
Timing diagram:

Another types of counters:

1. Down counter
2. Ring counter
3. BCD counter
4. Counters
5. Decade counter
6. Johnson counter
7. Synchronous counters
8. Butcher block countertops
9. Ceramic tile
10.Frequency Counter
11.Granite countertops
12.Modulus counter
13.Synchronous counter
14.Up counter
4-Conclusion:
1-Seven Segment Displays
A 7-segment display has the lowest price amongst all types of displays.
2-Binary calculation:
Almost all modern technology and computers use the binary system due to its ease
of implementation in digital circuitry using logic gates.
3-counters:
- Counters can be implemented using several flipflops that are connected to
give required function.
• Each flip-flop is used to represent one bit that stored 0/1 combination
• Group of flip-flops are used to represent several data bits with 0/1
combinations is called the state of the counter.
• The total number of states is called modulus (modulus = 2n)
