There is much difference between saying and doing. So, to get
theoretical knowledge is not enough. It provides only base. In our
fourth semester ECD Lab will be there. In this lab we have to in touch
with our practical instruments like function generator, CRO,
multimeter, Solder iron etc. And we also study about the various
component of the electronics field and At last we have to submit one
project which will deal with the our Practical field. So, we make a one
project namely ”BCD to Seven Segment Decoder ” We put our lots of
effort to do this project and try our best.
We belive that “Practical leads a man towards Perfomance”
In this project we thanks to our colleges which helps to motivate us.
At last we thankful to the Mr.Chintan Bhatt sir who help us to decide

this project and encourage us.

:INTRODUCTION TO BCD TO SEVEN SEGMENT:

This type of decoder accept the bcd code and provides output to the
energize seven segment display device in order to produce decimal
read out. Generally two ics used for the BCD to seven segment decoder.
(1)7447 & (2)7448.7447 used for the common anode display and 7448
is used for the common cathode display. There are many devices used
for the display. The commonly used displays in the digital electronics
field are as follows.
1: Cathode Ray Tube(CRT)
2:Light Emitting Diode(LED)
3:Liquid Crystal Device(LCD)
4:Gas Discharge Plasma Display(Nixie)
5:Electro-Luminescent(EL) Display
6:Electrophoretic Image Display(EPID)
7:Liquid Vapour Display(LVD) ,etc.
Display device provide a visual display of number ,letters and symbols

in response to electrical input,and serves as constituents of an
electronic display system.

The above circuit shows the output of the seven segment

display when input is given through driver IC.

1: INTRODUCTION
Basically, there are two type of seven segment display.

1: Common Cathode
2:Common Anode.
The use of common cathode and common anode display is shown in
the above figure.common cathode has given GROUND as a common
and common anode has given 5V as a common.Seven segment display
is used for the displaying numbers,letters and symbols.Here, seven
segment is used to represent the numbers which gives the outputas
per the input of the driver ic.
It is 10 pin device.3rd and 8th terminal of the seven segment is common
and as per the segment we give it 5V or ground.From other 8 pins 7
pins are for the purpose of number display and one terminal is used
for the dot(.).

There are many applications of the seven segment but some

important applications are stated below:
 Instrument LED display

 In Calculator as a display
 In digital watches
 IR LED finds application in burglar-alarm system
:IC 7447:

1: INTRODUCTION
IC 7447 is basically a driver IC.It is used drive the seven

segment display.The main use of the 7447 is it is used to conver
the BCD code to the appropriate output that can drive the seven
segment LED.It is mainly used for the common anode type of
the seven segment.
IC 7447 is 16 pin device.in which the pin number 8 is given as a
ground and pin number 16 is given as a 5V supply to drive
ic.1,2,6 and 7 pin is given as a input of the BCD code and from
the pin 9,10,11,12,13,14 and 15 the output is given to the seven
segment and as per the input BCD code output given in to
decimal number on the seven segment display.

3: APPLICATION OF IC 7447
The main application of ic 7447 is to convert the BCD code in to

8
appropriate decimal number.Ic 7447 is used as a decoder ic in

many applications.
 We can use this ic for counter
 This ic can also be used to drive lcd

: SUMMARY :
9
The project work entitled as “Bcd to Seven Segment Decoder” is

selected to carry out the work during February 2009-April 2009. During
first phase of project work, survey is carried out to understand the basic
architecture of IC 7447 general block diagram of the same, function of
each block.
After first phase we have to implement this task on our general purpose
board (PCB). We come across lots of problem during the
implementation and at last we can do our best in this project.
At last I am thankful to all my classmates who gave their positive

response to this project and help us a lot.
