EE2001 - Digital Systems Lab: Vinita Vasudevan

This document provides an overview of digital systems lab experiments involving LEDs, seven segment displays, and parity checking. It discusses: 1) Using LEDs for displays and testing, including seven segment displays to show digits. 2) The characteristics and operation of LEDs as diodes that emit light in the forward direction. 3) Connecting LEDs to TTL outputs by placing a resistor between the LED cathode and output. 4) Using seven segment displays with common anode or cathode configurations and operating points. 5) Interfacing seven segment displays with a 7447 BCD to seven segment decoder driver. 6) Implementing even parity checks by adding a parity bit to ensure an even total

Light emitting diodes

1. Displays - Indicating ON/OFF to very complex displays


2. Useful for testing
3. Seven segment displays - used to display digits.

Basically, it is a diode. Forward direction (anode positive with


respect to the cathode) - current flows and it emits light.

The shorter lead is the cathode. Forward voltage of an LED is


between 1.8V - 3V. Forward
current between 10mA to 30mA
(most commonly between 12 and
20mA)

Connecting LEDs to TTL outputs

The LED should glow if F (A, B) = 1. Example F (A, B) = AB

VOL I When output is high, a TTL


VOL
gate can source 400µA. It
can sink at least 8mA; more
if output is allowed to rise.
I Implement F̄ and connect
the LED between VCC and
5V
the output.
I Connect an inverter at the
VOL
output before connecting

Seven segment displays

Common anode or common cathode - We will be using common


anode. It has seven LEDs, with anodes connected together.

Typical operating point of each segment LED varies from 1.6V to


2V at 20mA operating current. The common anode is connected
to VCC . Connect a current-limiting resistor between the cathode
and output pin of the TTL gate.

The resistors connected between 7447 and the seven segment


display should be chosen so that the current is less than 20mA at
nominal operating point.

Parity Check

I A parity bit is added to message bits for error detection in


transmitted messages
I Even parity: The number of ones in the message is counted.
If the number is odd, the parity bit is ’1’ so that the total
number of 1s in the transmitted string (message+parity) is
even.
I In the receiving side, if you get an odd number of ones, it
indicates an error.

Experiment 5
I Make a list of components you have and note down their
function.
I Design a 4 bit (3 message bits + 1 parity bit) even parity
check circuit. At the output, connect an LED so that it glows
if there is an error.
I Design a circuit to convert a 4-bit binary number to its BCD
representation. The output should be displayed using two
seven segment displays.
I First design the circuit using any of the components you have
and get it checked by your TA.
I Download the relevant data sheets and read them before
wiring. Read up on ripple blanking and implement it.
