In this hands-on electronics experiment, you will control a 7-segment binary-coded decimal (BCD) display and learn about active-low and active-high logic inputs.
Project overview.
The operating principle for this circuit (Figure 1) is to input a four-bit BCD (binary-coded decimal) value using the switches and energize the proper output lines to form the corresponding decimal digit on the 7-segment light-emitting diode (LED) display.
Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the 7-segment LED display circuit.
Parts and materials.
- 4511 BCD-to-7seg latch/decoder/driver
- Common-cathode 7-segment LED display
- Eight-position DIP switch
- Four 10 kΩ resistors
- Seven 470 Ω resistors
- One 6 V battery
Caution! The 4511 IC is a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and, therefore, sensitive to static electricity !
Learning Objectives
- How to use the 4511 7-segment decoder/display driver IC
- Gain familiarity with the BCD code
- How to use 7-segment LED assemblies to create decimal digit displays
- How to identify and use both active-low and active-high logic inputs
Instructions
This experiment is more of an introduction to the 4511 decoder/display driver IC than it is a lesson in how to build a digital function from lower-level components. Since 7-segment displays are common components of digital devices, it is good to be familiar with the driving circuits behind them, and the 4511 is a good example of a typical driver IC.
Step 1: Connect the four switches to their pulldown resistors and the ABCD inputs of the 4511 IC, as illustrated on the left side of Figures 1 and 2.
Figure 2. Breadboard implementation of the 7-segment LED display circuit.
The BCD inputs are designated A, B, C, and D in order from least significant to most significant. The truth table for mapping these BCD inputs to the seven segment outputs is provided in Table 1.

| BCD Inputs | 7-Segment Outputs | LED Display | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D | C | B | A | a | b | c | d | e | f | g | Digits |
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 4 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 5 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 6 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 8 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 9 |
Step 2: Connect the seven outputs from the 4511 IC to the corresponding inputs on the 7-segment display. Outputs are labeled a, b, c, d, e, f, and g, with each letter corresponding to a standardized segment designation for 7-segment displays. Of course, since each LED segment requires its own dropping resistor, we must use seven 470 Ω resistors placed in series between the 4511’s output terminals and the corresponding terminals of the display unit.
Step 3: All LEDs inside the display unit are made common to each other on one side, either cathode or anode. The 4511 display driver IC requires a common-cathode 7-segment display unit, which is what is used here. So, we must connect the cathode connection to the ground .
Step 4: Complete the remaining connections, illustrated in Figure 1, including power and ground.
Step 5: After building the circuit and applying power, operate the four switches in a binary counting sequence (0000 to 1001), noting the 7-segment display. A 0000 input should result in a decimal 0 display, a 0001 input should result in a decimal 1 display, and so on through 1001 (decimal 9).
Step 6: Test to see what happens for the binary numbers 1010 (10) through 1111 (15). Read the datasheet on the 4511 IC and see what the manufacturer specifies for operation above an input value of 9.
In the BCD code, there is no real meaning for 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, or 1111. These are binary values beyond the range of a single decimal digit and so have no function in a BCD system. The 4511 IC is built to recognize this and output (or not output!) accordingly.
Step 7: Three inputs on the 4511 chip have been permanently connected to either V dd or ground. These input pins are Lamp Test , Blanking Input , and Latch Enable . To learn what these inputs do, remove the short jumpers connecting them to either power supply rail (one at a time), and replace the short jumper with a longer one that can reach the other power supply rail.
For example, remove the short jumper connecting the Latch Enable input (pin #5) to the ground, and replace it with a long jumper wire that can reach all the way to the V dd power supply rail. Experiment with making this input high (1) and low(0), observing the results on the 7-segment display as you alter the BCD code with the four input switches.
After you’ve learned what the input’s function is, connect it to the power supply rail enabling normal operation, and proceed to experiment with the next input (either Lamp Test or Blanking Input ).
Once again, the manufacturer’s datasheet will inform the purpose of each of these three inputs. Also, note that the Lamp Test (LT) and Blanking Input (BI) input labels are written with boolean complementation bars over the abbreviations. Bar symbols designate these inputs as active-low , meaning that you must make each one low (0) in order to invoke its particular function.
Making an active-low input high (1) places that particular input into a passive state where its function will not be invoked. Conversely, the Latch Enable (LE) input has no complementation bar written over its abbreviation, and correspondingly it is shown connected to ground low (0) in the schematic of Figure 1 so as to not invoke that function.
The Latch Enable input is an active-high input, which means it must be made high (1) (connected to V dd ) in order to invoke its function.

In this paper, J-K Flip Flops are used to design modulus 65 synchronous counter by showing only decimal values rather than ordinary Hexadecimal values. The entire circuit could be designed by cascading two counters together while the ones digit counter provides clock pulses to the tens digit counter. Implementation and design of the counter was made by using Electronics Workbench software. Partial decoding mechanism is practical to clear each counter in its desired state as well as clear the entire circuit after the number 65 in decimal. TTL Logic (Vcc) was used to provide digital input 1 and Ground to provide digital input 0. The outputs are shown through decoded seven segment displays. The proposed mechanism is practical and applicable to design any modulus counter to show the output in decimal. Furthermore, this mechanism can have advantages over direct modulus counters because the decimal numbers greater than 9 cannot be shown on decoded seven segment displays.

An important issue in Seven segment display is heat, but the reversible logic gives less amount of heat dissipation. So, it's an important role in nanotechnology, less energy complementary metal oxide semiconductor CMOS designs etc. Seven segment displays are most effective devices used in electronic meters, digital calculators, clock radios, digital clocks, odometers, displays in home appliances, etc.In this project, an efficient seven segment display is designed using reversible logic gates CNOT, FREDKIN and PERES gates. Retrievability is a feature which every electronic device wants to posses , In reversible logic gates the inputs and outputs can be retrievable from each other. Backward operation is used in this circuit which allows to retrieve the inputs from the outputs therefore consuming zero power. Reversible logic circuits are also known as lossless circuits, which has neither information loss nor energy loss. The reversible logic operations dissipate less heat and can't erase information.

Introduction. The Serial 7-Segment Display is an easy-to-use 4-digit display that is controlled using a serial interface. Instead of using up a dozen-or-so of your microcontroller's pins to control the LEDs, all you need is one. Using either a serial, I2C, or SPI interface, you can control all digits, decimal points, the colon, and the apostrophe.
seven-segment display may have 7, 8, or 9 leads on the chip. Usually leads 8 and 9 are decimal points. The figure below is a typical component and pin layout for a seven segment display. The light emitting diodes in a seven-segment display are arranged in the figure below. There are two types of displays available, common anode and common cathode.
This lab will show you how to add an external seven segment display device to your Axiom development board. In this experiment only one display is used, though you can easily add more to display larger numbers. A seven segment display is a group of seven LED's arranged in segments. These segments are generally used to display numbers 0 thru 9.
