INTERFACING SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY WITH 8051 MICROCONTROLLER

INTRODUCTION:

  • It is primarily an electronic device used for displaying alphanumeric values or decimal values.
  • The Seven segment display more commonly used on display board in various complexes and shopping malls.
  • The pivotal role of this display board is to show some command or instructions to the humans that is understandable to them.

WORKING:

Common Anode Configuration:

  • Depending on the decimal digits to be displayed the particular set of LED’S are forward biased.
  • Example:  If we want to light the digit 8 seven digits has to be lighted up in order to display it.

TRUTH TABLE:

 

  • The above table indicates the corresponding LED’s to be displayed in order to get the corresponding numbers.(0-9).
  • Both common cathode and common cathode is present.

CODING FOR SINGLE DIGIT:

#include<reg51.h>

void delay(int k) //delay function

{

int i,j;

for(i=0;i<k;i++)

 for(j=0;j<1275;j++);

}

void main()

{

unsigned char i;

unsigned char arr[10]={0x3f,0x06,0x5b,0x4f,0x66,0x6d,0x7d,0x07,0x7f,0x67};

P2=0x00;

while(1)

{

 for(i=0;i<10;i++)

 {

  P2=arr[i];

  delay(100);

 }

}

}

PROCEDURE:

  1. Firstly burn the program to microcontroller.
  2. Then make the connections as per circuit diagram.
  3. We must make sure that pins a to g of seven segment are given to P2.0 to P2.6 of microcontroller(PORT 2).
  4. Switch on the power supply then he numbers 0 – 9 starts displaying after some interval.
  5. This process repeats itself in an infinite loop.
