BCD to 7-segment


To display the data on 7 segment, we have to convert it from BCD to 7-segment code. The IC makes this process. It has four inputs called BCD inputs and seven outputs to drive the display. For common anode LED display, the decoders used are IC 7446, IC 74246, IC 7447, IC 74247 etc. They have active low, open collector outputs. And for common cathode LED display, the ICs are IC 7448, IC 74248, IC 7449 etc. They have active high, open collector outputs.
