INTRODUCTION
I. PROJECT CONTEXT
A Digital Decoder IC, is a device which converts one digital format into another and one
of the most commonly used devices for doing this is called the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) to
7-Segment Display Decoder. 7-segment LED (Light Emitting Diode) or LCD (Liquid Crystal
Display) type displays, provide a very convenient way of displaying information or digital data
circuit which is used to convert a binary or BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) number to the
segment decoder.
The purpose is to display data in the form of numbers, letters, or even alpha-numerical
characters. BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) is an encoding scheme which represents each of the
decimal numbers by its equivalent 4-bit binary pattern. Seven segment displays comprise of
seven individual segments formed by either Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). For the display to
work, these segments are to be driven by the certain logic level at their input. Depending on this,
seven segment displays are found to be of two types viz., common cathode type and common
anode type.
III. OBJECTIVES
1. To provide a very convenient way of displaying information or digital data in the form
The project can only convert and display values from binary to decimal only using a 7-
