Chapter 6 - Encoding, Decoding, and Seven-Segment Displays

  1. Refer to Fig. 6-1. Data would be transferred from the calculator circuitry to the group of 7-segment displays using the ___ (BCD, EBCDIC) code.

  2. Refer to Fig. 6-1. If the data transferred from the calculator circuitry is 0000 0000 0110 1001 0111 1000 0001 0101BCD, what will the decimal indication on the calculator display?
  3. Refer to Fig. 6-2. Data would be transferred from the computer circuitry to the output display (perhaps on another computer) using the ___ (ASCII, BCD) code.

  4. Refer to Fig. 6-2. If the stream of data transferred from the computer circuitry is 0000010 0100011 0100000 1000100 11001001 1100111 1101001 1110100 1100001 1101100 0000011ASCII, what will the alphanumeric display read? The spaces between the 7-bit groups are for your use and may not appear in a real data stream.
  5. ASCII is a 7-bit code used in computer technology. List several 8-bit codes also used to represent alphanumeric information. (use www.pcwebopedia.com)
  6. Refer to Fig. 6-3. Label the parts of the diagram (A, B, and C) for 7-segment LED display circuit.

  7. Refer to Fig. 6-3. What will the decimal readouts be for the following inputs (assume a common-anode type 7-segment display):
    1. HLLHHHH (order= a to g)
    2. LLLLLLL (order= a to g)
    3. LLLLHHL (order= a to g)
    4. LLLHHHH (order= a to g)
    5. HHLLLLL (order= a to g)
    6. HLHHLHH (order= a to g)
    7. LLLLLLH (order= a to g)
  8. Refer to Fig. 6-4 (prepared with Electronics Workbench®, Version 5). Use circuit simulation software to draw this BCD-to-7-segment LED display decoder/driver circuit. Add switches to inputs A-D to test the circuit. Show the simulation to your instructor.

  9. Refer to Fig. 6-5. What technology is used to manufacture this display?

  10. Refer to Fig. 6-5. Identify the parts of this LCD display (A-F).
  11. Refer to Fig. 6-6. What technology is used to manufacture this display?

  12. Refer to Fig. 6-6. Identify the parts of this VF display (A-D).
