7447 BCD to 7 Segment Display

Equipment:
- Breadboard - 4 DIP Switch
- Jumper wires - 4pcs – 1k Ohm Resistors
- 7447 Chip - 7pcs – 470 Ohm Resistors
- 7 Segment Display - 6 bolt power supply

Breadboard Tool used for prototyping and testing electronic circuits without soldering.
Flexible wires with connectors at each end, used to create electrical connections
Jumper Wires
on a breadboard or in electronic projects.
7-Segment decoder or driver IC (integrated circuit), commonly used to convert
7447 Chip
binary-coded decimal into signals that can drive a 7-segment display.
7-Segment Visual representation of numbers and some letters, commonly used to show
Display numerical values in electronic projects.
4 DIP Switch Used for configuring or selecting binary options in electronic circuits.
1k Ohm Resistance of 1 kilo-ohm each, used to limit current or divide voltage in
Resistors electronic circuit.
470 Ohm Resistance or 460 ohms each, used in electronic circuit for specific resistance or
Resistors current-limiting applications.
6 Bolt Power
Refers to a power source providing six bolts.
Supply

First placing the switch, 7447 Chip, then the 7 Segment Display
The 4 DIP Switch has 8 total pins

Connecting all 1 to 4 to power

Then be connecting to ground using the 1k Ohm Resistors

The 7447 chip has the total of 16 pins

Will connect pin 16 to power and pin 8 to ground


Then will connect pins 3, 4, and 5 to power

The 7-segment display has the total o 10 pins

From the pin out diagram

We will connect the common anodes pin to power


Connect the output of the switch to 7447 Switch start with the lowest significant bit which is the pin 5
to the switch that will connect to the pin 7 of the chip, pin 6 of the switch to the pin 1 of the chip, pin 7
of the switch will be connected to pin 2, and pin 8 of the switch will be connected to the pin 6 of the
chip.

Next, we will connect the 7447 Chip to the 7 Segment display, note that all of this connection will
have their own 470 Ohm current limiting resistors. Starting by the pin 15 of the chip to the pin 9 of the
display, pin 14 to the pin 10 of the display, pin 13 of the chip to the pin 7 of the display, pin 12 of the
chip to the pin 8 of display, pin 11 of the chip to pin 4 of the display, pin 10 of the switch to the pin 2 of
display, and pin 9 of the chip to the pin 1 of the display.

Join 2 power and grounds together then the power supply
