Be drawn and materialise in rasters a reasonable circuit that would appear in 7 seagments displays sectors the digits of hex system of numeration. the numbers that i want to see will be appearred as in the following form:


6 A B C D E F

Code the digits it will be given as BCD with Dip-switch

CAN HELP ME ΟR IS DIFFICULT?????

p.m. with multiplexter can i do it??????

i need something like this

i give the 1111 and i want to see the F etc

 

Hi,

Can't be done - BCD stands for Binary-Coded Decimal. It is only meant to represent the values 0 to 9. Four bits will give the values of 0 to f, but a 7 segment display can only show 0 to 9, plus meaningless junk. Your illustration shows a 7 segment display.

You will need an alphanumeric display plus additional circuitry to display the values of 0 to f.

 

Beenthere is 100% correct. 4-bit BCD is only capable of representing the digits 0 through 9.

On the other hand, if you have a 4-bit binary value, you can use a microcontroller to produce a set of characters using a 7-segment display that comes close to the 5 additional characters you would require.

1010 A (uppercase A)
1011 b (lowercase B)
1100 c (lowercase C)
1101 d (lowercase D)
1110 E (uppercase E)
1111 F (uppercase F)

how i do it?you have any circut or microcontroller?

 

You'd need a BCD to seven segent decoder.

Here is an emulation showing discrete logic gates.

thanks my friend but this circuit have very much gates.i need something to put in raster.from 1 to 3 chips.

 

When you use the term "raster", do you perhaps mean multiplex such that one set of 7-segment drive electronics is shared among several 7-segment displays?

something like this http://www.voti.nl/shop/catalog.html?M-PERFBOARD-50x100
but small.

 

So when you use the term "raster", are you referring to the type of prototyping board onto which you are mounting your chips?

Hi,

One of those happy accidents led me to discover the MC14489. It will drive up to 5 displays and cover the full range of hexidecimal characters. It needs more than a dip switch input, though. Just google mc14489 for a data sheet.

 

I think such accidents are termed "serendipitous".

What is needed is not a BCD-to-seven-segment driver, but rather a Hex-to-seven-segment driver. The [SIZE=-1]MC14489 cited by Beenthere is one example. So too are the 4N54, the EDE707, and for more modern applications the MAX6950/MAX6951.

OH HERE I GO AGAIN !!!!Yes you can do it "with an EPROM and a ULN2003"... Something small can do it, like a 2732 (27C32). Have you the means to program one ??, if so I will give you the code.If not just P.M. me your details and I will program and send you one (with schematics)... Daniel.
