Description
- 7-segment LED displays are formed by LED segments. It is used to display numerical values from 0 to 9. One more segment is also present there which is used as a decimal point.
7-Segment Display
- In 7-segment displays, there are two types, common anode and common cathode.
Common Cathode (CC)
In a common cathode display, all cathode pins are connected together and LEDs are controlled via an anode terminal. It means to turn ON the LED (segment), we have to apply proper voltage to the anode pin.
The following demonstration will show the working of the above configuration,
Pin Diagram
- The 7-segment display has a total of 10 pins.
- The common pin (com) is connected either in a common anode or a common cathode configuration.
