1b Title: BINARY AND DECIMAL NUMBERS Objectives: 1. To demonstrate the count sequence of binary number and the binarycoded decimal (BCD) representation using 7493 IC. 2. To design and build BCD-to-7 segment converter. 2. Observe timing diagrams on the oscilloscope. Introduction:
BCD is a 4-bit binary code representing the decimal numbers 0 through 9. The binary numbers 1010 through 1111 are not used in BCD.
A seven segment LED display contains 7 LEDs (7 inputs). Each LED is called a segment and they are identified as (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) segments. BCD inputs are converted into 7 segment inputs (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) by using a decoder. A limiting resistance network must be used at the inputs to protect the 7-segment from overloading.
Materials:
7493 Four bit binary COUNTER, 7340 hex display, Seven segment display, 7447 BCD-to-seven segment decoder, 47 resistor, digital trainer, wire connectors, dualtrace oscilloscope, function generator
2. Turn the power on and observe the four indicator lamps. Note the result. 3. Connect the hex display (IC 7340) that will show the hexadecimal equivalent of the 4-bit number appearing in the indicator lamps. 4. Disconnect the input of the counter at pin 14 from the pulser and connect it to a clock generator or to a function generator (lead TTL) that produces a train of pulses at a low frequency of about one pulse per second (1 Hz). Note the result. 5. Increase the frequency of the clock to 10 kHz or higher and connect its output to an oscilloscope. Observe the clock output on the oscilloscope and sketch its waveform. 6. Using a dual-trace oscilloscope, connect the output of Qa (LSB) to one channel and the output of the clock to the second channel. Note the result. 7. Repeat step 6 for outputs Qb, Qc, Qd. 8. Obtain a timing diagram showing the time relationship of the clock and the four outputs of the counter. Make sure that you include at least 16 clock cycles.
Procedures: (BCD-TO-SEVEN SEGMENT CONVERTER) 1. Construct the circuit as shown. Pins 7,1,2,6 are connected to the push
buttons or inputs.
2. Turn the power on. By applying BCD codes at the input, verify the displayed decimal digits for that given input. Note the result. 3. Replace push buttons inputs by the BCD counter and observe displayed decimal digits. Note the result.
