Sardar Patel Institute of Technology: BCD To 7-Segment Controller/Decoder
AIM :
To design and implement a Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) to 7-Segment display decoder using
gates made of diodes and BJTs.
DESIGN :
To design our decoder/ controller we must take our 4-bit BCD input and convert it into a 7bit
output to correspond to respective LEDs in the 7-Segment display.
To analyze relations between said input(s) and output(s), we must draw a truth table and
Kmaps.

The gates required for this design are the AND, OR and NOT gates
Of these, the AND and OR gates can be constructed using diodes and resistors while the
NOT gate can be constructed using a BJT and resistors.
While simulating the design, we first check whether the Logic model is working correctly by
simulation in multisim :
Considering the design is working as we want it to, we can now implement it using the
gates we designed/derived from diodes, BJT and resistors in Multisim.

OBSERVATIONS :
On simulating our design, we find that it works as it was designed and required to work.
Our design takes a 4-bit BCD input and decodes it to a 7-bit output that controls the
7segment LED display.
We have successfully designed a BCD to 7-segment decoder.
LEARNING OUTCOMES :
• We learned how to design a BCD to 7segment decoder using logic gates.
• We designed individual Logic gates using components such as Diodes, Resistors and
BJTs.
• We understood working of said gates in detail.
• We implemented the decoder from the logic gates we made from said components.
