In a recent video our hacker [Electronic Wizard] introduces the 74HC595 shift register and explains how to use it to drive 7-segment displays. [Electronic Wizard] explains that understanding how to ...

When I was younger, I didn’t think about getting older. If I had thought about it at all, I think I would have assumed that things would start to slow down in what the folks of yesteryear would have ...

Abstract: According to the requirements of the eight-way transponder, two different implementation methods are designed. One is realized by integrated chip CD4511 and peripheral circuits, and designs ...

There are many ICs available to drive a 7 Segment display like IC 4026, 4033 etc and we have covered driving 7-segment using 4026 and using 4033. In this tutorial we are going to drive 7-segment ...

A digital counter whose logical output increments in steps on receiving clock pulses is used for a variety of counting and timing applications. It is at the heart of digital clock circuitry and other ...

Most water level indicators for water tanks are based on the number of LEDs that glow to indicate the corresponding level of water in the container. Here we present a digital water-level indicator. It ...

Even if you are designing a microcontroller-based LED display system, often it may calls for a manual option to control brightness of the LED display unit. On the otherhand, if it is based on discrete ...

When you need to connect amicrocontroller to a seven-segmentLED display, you can use a BCD(binary-coded-decimal)-to-seven-segmentdecoder. Figure 1 shows a typicalcircuit that uses a CD4511 to ...
