BCD to 7-Segment Display
Turns a 4-bit BCD value into a decimal digit on a seven-segment display using a BCD-to-7-segment decoder. The bridge between counting logic and a readable display.
What You'll Learn
- Convert a binary value into a visible decimal digit
- Understand the role of a display decoder
- Read a seven-segment segment map
How It Works
A 4-bit BCD value (0-9) enters a BCD-to-7-segment decoder, which outputs the seven segment signals (a-g) that light the matching digit on the display. Values above 9 blank the display.
Components Used
