Experiment No. 03: Interfacing of Seven Segment Display with MDA-8086 Microprocessor
Objectives: The objectives of this experiment are-
a) To interface Seven Segment Display with 8086 microprocessor by 8255 PPI
b) Internal connection of 8255 PPI with 8086 microprocessor for Seven
Segment Display.
Theory:
The 7-segment display, also written as “seven segment display”, consists of seven LEDs (hence its
name) arranged in a rectangular fashion as shown. Each of the seven LEDs is called a segment
because when illuminated the segment forms part of a numerical digit (both Decimal and Hex) to be
displayed. An additional 8th LED is sometimes used within the same package thus allowing the
indication of a decimal point, (DP) when two or more 7-segment displays are connected together to
display numbers greater than ten.
Common Anode and Common Cathode 7-segment Display
The Common Cathode (CC) – In the common cathode display, all the cathode connections of the
LED segments are joined together to logic “0” or ground. The individual segments are illuminated
by application of a “HIGH”, or logic “1” The Common Anode (CA) – In the common anode
display, all the anode connections of the LED segments are joined together to logic “1”. The
individual segments are illuminated by applying a ground, logic “0” or “LOW”
