SEVEN-SEGMENT DISPLAYS
Aims: investigate 1-digit and 2-digit seven-segment displays operation, understand the process of
code conversion for the device, and make a comparison between 1 and 2 digit sevensegment
displays.
Experiment 4A. Realize the following circuit on a breadboard. Connecting Va, Vb, Vc, Vd, Ve,
Vf and Vg inputs to either GND or VCC based on the following table, fill in the blanks.

12 0V 5V 5V 5V 5V 0V 5V D
13 0V 5V 5V 5V 5V 0V 5V D
Experiment 4B. Use 2-digit seven- segment display. Situate it on the breadboard. Pins 13 and 14
are connected to GND. Define which pin corresponds to which segment, show them in the picture.
Fill in the table, showing the voltage for the numbers obtained. For example, V 1 is a voltage,
applied to pin 1 and so on. Use resistors of 330(220)Ω to avoid the LED’s burning.
Experiment 4C. Use another type of 2-digit seven segment display (common anode). Make
appropriate connections and fill in the table.

Conclusion
In this laboratory work, we used a seven-segment screen connecting it to the current sources and
to ground via a key. We also used a resistor to prevent the screen from burning out. Then we used
a double seven-segment screen with 16 inputs cathode version as well as anode version. The
difference is that the anode version is like NOT Gate.
