Hi,
I was wondering which chips (and I would appreciate circuit diagrams too ) would be ideal (no microcontrollers please) to use several 7 segments together to display one number. I require control for up to 5 segments showing something like this 100.00. Yes, I do require a decimal place.
I only require 3 significant digits, so I assume that having 5 segments to show 0 to 100 with decimals woud be easier if I assigned each segment to a power of 10 rather than switching places as I did my calculations. Ie, our minimum value would be 0.01 (though that is only 1 sig fig, it is an unrealistic value for the applications I will be using it for) and largest would be 100. .
