Interfacing 7-Segment Display using lookup table

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Calculation of lookup table as follows:

The lookup table contains the input pattern for the LED legs, to display the corresponding digits.

The table shows the seven segment requirement pattern to display the Hex number, with the Seven segment conversion.

For example, Let us consider the display of the number 0, where we need to switch ON all the LEDs which are there at the boundary. i.e. for a CC LED, we  should supply 5 volts to these LEDs. The 6 LEDs (‘a’ through ‘f’) should get binary 1, the dot and the (middle) hyphen segment should get 0Volts or the binary Zero. Effectively the Seven segment pattern code will be (0011 1111) 3Fh. That is what we OUT through the port pins.

For a Common Anode LED, the display pattern will be the complement of that of Common Cathode pattern.

For Common Cathode :

Common Cathode Lookup Table

For common Anode:

Common Anode Lookup Table

ASM program:

This program displays characters 0 through 9 on seven-segment display connected directly to the port 2 of the microcontroller Intel8951.

Here, the look up table is stored from the memory location 19H of the microcontroller. The first set is the pattern code for common anode followed by the common cathode.

        //Look up table for common Anode
 
        org 0000
        mov r0,#19h
        mov @r0,#0c0fh             // Code for the digit 0
        inc r0
        mov @r0,#0f9h             // Code for the digit 1
        inc r0
        mov @r0,#0a4h             // Code for the digit 2
        inc r0
        mov @r0,#0b0h             // Code for the digit 3
        inc r0

    i have to make this project but i don;t how to programme ….in my project there is a one switch at input..when i press switch counter will increasde by one……….it should be happend till 0 to 9…please help me to resolvr this problem…my project name is micro controller based counter

    wht is difference between connecting 7447 decoder to 7 segment display
    and connecting 7 segment display directly to 8051 using ports?
