i have built a circuit using 4026be.. however the circuit dosent seem to be working.. my concermn is that the the entire segment remains on, irrespective of wether the enable in ( pin3) is high .. or low.. also even a clock pulse ( a nearly 3 sec pulse from 555 monostable ) also dosent seem to have any effect on the display.. no activity.. . i tried using power supplu between 3 - 6 V.. nothing worked.. also i wanted ot know if it was necessary to connect all the decoder outputs or if i can check it just by connecting single LED accross a single segment output.. http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/26860/TI/CD4026B.html
this is the data sheet i refrenced..
