Chap6 7segment

The document discusses 7-segment LED displays. It describes how a 7-segment LED display consists of 7 LED segments plus a decimal point that are arranged to display numbers from 0 to 9. It explains how each segment is turned on or off to display a number or letter by sending the appropriate signals. The document also provides details on interfacing a 7-segment LED display to a microprocessor and provides a sample program to illustrate displaying letters on the LED display.

7-segment LED

displays

A seven segment LED consist of seven light emitting


diode segments and one segment for the decimal point.
The segments are physically arranged in the form of 8.
To display a number , or a letter from A to F the necessary
segments are lit by sending an appropriate signal for
current flow through the diodes.
An LED will be illuminated if it is forward-biased and
there is enough current flowing through it. Typically, a
current of few milliamps up to 20mA is required.
The voltage drop across a forward-biased LED ranges
from about 1.6V to 2.5V.

The binary code required to to display a digit is determined


by the type of LED configuration ( common anode or
common cathode)
For common anode configuration a logic 0 is required to
turn on a segment. For common cathode type a logic 1 is
required.
With displays having many display elements, rather than
having to use a decoder for each element, multiplexing is
used with a single decoder.
To maintain a constant display, a display is repeatedly
turned on sufficiently often for the display to appear
flicker-free.
