THEORY:

In seven segment display experiment has a seven-segment driver (1C7447). This is a

decoder IC and based on the BCD binary number supplied at its inputs A-D, the
appropriate
<br>

outputs a-g of 1C 7447 become low to displaythe digital value the given
coded of BCD (binary
decimal) number on seven segment
Display.
a) The IC 7447 has open collector outputs a-g which can
sink up to 40mA. The 7
Segment display segments must be connected between +Vs
and the outputs with a
resistor in series (330 with a 5V supply), A common
anode seven segment display
is required for it.
b) Lamp/Display test (LT) and Ripple Blank
Input (RBI) are active-low, so they
should be high for normal operation.
c) When Lamp/Display test (LT) is low all the display segments
should light (showing
number 8).
d) If the RBIinput is low (that is when
higher stage display has no significant value
to display i.e. when the higher stage
display count input is zero), the display in
Seven segments will be blank (0000) to save power. So
this can be used to blank
the leading zeros at higher stage display when there are
several display digits driven
by a chain of counters.
e) To achieve this Ripple Blank Output (RBO)
of lower stage decoder should be
connected to the Ripple Blank Input (RBI) the next
of display of the counter chain
(the next most significant digit).

The 7447 is intended for BCD (binary coded

decimal), which is input values 0 to 9 (0000
to 1001 in binary). So the inputs from to
display segments but will do no harm
10 15 (1010 to 1111 in binary) will light odd

PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.

2.. Before switching ON power supply, make sure that the connection are correct.
<br>

3. Apply the input logic state code mcntioned in observation Table in terms of
+5 volts for state-1 and 0 volts for state-0.
4. Observe the output states.
5. Verify the displayed digit with decimal equivalent of applied input binary
code.
6. Repeat steps from 3 to S for all possible combination.
