AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for an integrated circuit (IC) that can convert outputs from a 3-bit adder to display hexadecimal values (A-F) on a 7-segment LED display. The user is currently using a 7483 full adder connected to a 7447 BCD to 7-segment driver but encounters issues when the sum exceeds 9, as the 7447 does not display letters correctly. Suggestions include looking for a hex to 7-segment display driver, specifically mentioning the MC14495 as a potential solution. The user is reviewing the datasheet for the MC14495 to determine its suitability. The conversation highlights the challenge of displaying hexadecimal values using existing components.

guys, you just created a circuit a BCD 4bits Full adder but in my case i just need a 3bits-3bits addition so that i set the A4 to 0 by default...

i used 7483 for 4bits full adder and connect it to a 7447 BCD to 7-segment

A4A3A2A1 + B43B2B1

A4 & B4 are set to 0

so 7 is the maximum value in one input..

my problem is when A+B = greater 9...i need to display a real letter A-F not the default light up of 7447

ex.

101(5) + 101(5) = A (bit letter A)
110(6) + 101(5) = b (small letter b)
111(7) + 101(5) = C (big letter C)
110(6) + 111(7) = d (small letter d)
111(7) + 111(7) = E (small letter E)

but in default in 7447

111(7) + 111(7) = inverted big letter F...

is there an IC which can convert 10-15 to A-F in 7segment led?

or just another IC which can configure 7447?

~help me please

Welcome to the PF.

Instead of "BCD to 7-segment display driver", try Googling Hex to 7-segment display driver...
 
ok, i see an IC, but I am not sure if it is the IC i need...

MC14495...

im studying its datasheet right now, thanks btw...

~yes i am new here in PF, thanks for welcoming...Overwhelming...^_^
 

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
