We are offering Bcd to 7 Segment Display Circuit. Introduction : We see alphabets and numbers on many electronic machines in the market and public places. Seven segment display is now a days so popular that no electronic indicator can do without it .Ever gadget designer should learn about it. To display any number in English we require seven segment display. The drivers for driving these displays are abundantly available. As well as decoders from binary to seven segment code are also available. With the help of these decoders and drivers we can incorporate these display in any system where numbers are to be displayed. About the circuit : The IC 7447 is a decoder driver for seven-segment display, common anode CA type. It converts BCD code to seven-segment code and drives each segment of LED in seven segments LED display. Only current limiting resistances are required to be used in each segment. The seven segment displays fall in two categories of the CA (common anode) and CC (common cathode). 7- segment LEDs also have 8th segment, called decimal point. Thus it has 8 LEDs inside one body and have normally 10 pins . Two pins are allotted for common and 8 for segments (a to f and dp). CA has all anodes connected together, brought out as common pin and cathodes are available individually at terminal pins. Similarly in CC, all cathodes are connected together, brought out as common pin and anodes are available individually. When we need to glow a particular segment ,we must pull it down by driving the individual pin low. Exactly same thing happens when we feed BCD code at input of 7447. It converts BCD code to seven segments as shown here in the table. The circuit here outputs the desired outputs i.e. Hi at those terminals which are required to glow as per the BCD input given to it. Besides these functions, the decoderdriver IC has additional function pins like LT, RBI and BIBRO LT (pin 3) when pulled Low shall lit all segments. This is provided to check all display segments for their functionality. RBI (pin 5) when low blanks the display only when input is BCD zero. BIBRO (pin 4) when pulled low shall put off all segments irrespective of input logic levels. This is useful when leading zero blanking is to be used to save power or control intensity. Since it is not totem pole output and has only a resistive pull up, it acts as input and output both. When used as input it can be forced low because of resistive pull up provided internally. To achieve leading zero blanking of displays in a multi digit display, RBI pin of a most significant decoder is connected to ground, and its BIRBO pin (which becomes low)is connected to next lower order decoder and thus cascading all will achieve leading zero blanking. For better understanding and grasp of the decoder and display function, the PCB is provided with facility to connect miniature toggle switches for applying individual logic signal (H & L) to all BCD inputs. This facility can be useful to practice for beginners. IC2 ( 7805) is a 5- v regulator provided to supply power to the IC 7447 and to display. Rectified DC filtered Input to this circuit can be between 8.5 to 12 volts. The decimal to BCD table and truth table for decoder are provided with literature.
