Binary Coded DecimalР”В«inary Coded Decimal (BCD or РІР‚Сљ8421РІР‚Сњ BCD) numbers are made up using just 4 data bits (a nibble or half a byte) similar to the Hexadecimal numbers we saw in the binary tutorial, but unlike hexadecimal numbers that range in full from 0 through to F, BCD numbers only range from 0 to 9, with the binary number patterns of 1010 through to 1111 (A to F) being invalid inputs for this type of display and so are not used as shown below.

Obviously, the use of so many connections and power consumption is impractical for some electronic or microprocessor based circuits and so in order to reduce the number of signal lines required to drive just one single display, display decoders such as the BCD to 7-Segment Display Decoder and Driver ICРІР‚в„ўs are used instead. Also as the segments are basically a standard light emitting diode, the driving circuit would need to produce up to 20mA of current to illuminate each individual segment and to display the number РІР‚Сљ8РІР‚Сњ, all seven segments would need to be lit resulting a total current of nearly 140mA, (8 x 20mA).

It can be seen that to display any single digit number from 0 to 9 in binary or letters from A to F in hexadecimal, we would require seven separate segment connections plus one additional connection for the LEDРІР‚в„ўs РІР‚СљcommonРІР‚Сњ connection. The Common Anode Display (CAD)Р’В РІР‚вЂњР’В In the common anode display, all the anode connections of the LEDРІР‚в„ўs are joined together to logic РІР‚Сљ1РІР‚Сњ and the individual segments are illuminated by connecting the individual Cathode terminals to a РІР‚СљLOWРІР‚Сњ, logic РІР‚Сљ0РІР‚Сњ signal. The individual segments are illuminated by application of a РІР‚СљHIGHРІР‚Сњ, logic РІР‚Сљ1РІР‚Сњ signal to the individual Anode terminals. The Common Cathode Display (CCD)Р’В РІР‚вЂњР’В In the common cathode display, all the cathode connections of the LEDРІР‚в„ўs are joined together to logic РІР‚Сљ0РІР‚Сњ or ground. In electronics there are two important types of 7-segment LED digital display. Some single displays have also have an additional input pin to display a decimal point in their lower right or left hand corner.

In order to produce the required numbers or HEX characters from 0 to 9 and A to F respectively, on the display the correct combination of LED segments need to be illuminated and BCD to 7-segment Display Decoders such as the 74LS47 do just that.Р”Р„ standard 7-segment LED display generally has eight (8) input connections, one for each LED segment and one that acts as a common terminal or connection for all the internal display segments. Typically 7-segment displays consist of seven individual coloured LEDРІР‚в„ўs (called the segments), within one single display package. A Digital Decoder IC, is a device which converts one digital format into another and one of the most commonly used devices for doing this is called the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) to 7-Segment Display Decoder.Р”В§-segment LED (Light Emitting Diode) or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) type displays, provide a very convenient way of displaying information or digital data in the form of numbers, letters or even alpha-numerical characters.
