Or if we connect high level voltage to both inputs, then both the inputs will be high making the diodes to be in forward bias condition. +5 volts to any one of the input, then the diode becomes forward biased and that makes the output to be high. If we connect HIGH logic level voltage i.e.

The OR gate produces low output only when both the inputs are low, in all other conditions or for all other combinations of inputs, the output of OR gate will be high. Here 0 means low (switch is at OFF position) and 1 means high (switch is at ON position). The two logic levels are represented as binary numbers 0 and 1. In all logic circuits, +5 volts is represented as HIGH level logic and 0 volts or ground is represented as the LOW level logic. The circuit uses two diodes at input side. The circuit design of OR gate (by using diodes) is given below. Commonly available TTL and CMOS logic OR gate IC’s.Explanation of OR gate with light switch circuit.

LED article to calculate the value of the series drop resistor. If you are a GCSE student, then ideally you should consult the Here is a table showing resistor values for each power supply option for such a display. If you are using the cheap and commonly available red coloured display, then they usually have a voltage drop of 1.8 V. Since the output voltage that drives the LEDs is close to the supply voltage of the IC (assuming room temperature typical values), operating the IC on the lower voltage range may allow one to eliminate the use of series resistors, however it is not a practice I would recommend. Since the IC is capable of being used on a wide range of voltages, and currently in the market there are a wide range of 7-segment displays with differing colours and forward voltages, it is good practice to show series resistors in the circuit diagram. Whether you decide to use these series resistors to produce a voltage drop depends upon two main criteria the voltage you are driving the IC at, which is the voltage you feed at pin 16, and the forward drop of the LEDs in your 7-sement display. Since each segment of the 7-segment display is an LED, we connect resistors at pins 10, 12, 13, 9, 11, 6, and 7 to produce the necessary voltage drop. 7-Segment Display Series Resistor ValueĪ series resistor is usually utilised to produce the required voltage drop when driving an LED. However, pressing the switch PTM S2, causes a positive pulse to go into pin 15 initiating a Further presses of PTM S1 increments the clock and the display shows the count. A short positive pulse to the clock pin would make the counter increment by 1 and the 7-segment display would then display the numeral 1. We also use PTM switches, which provide a positive pulse for a short moment. State of these pins would remain floating making the circuit unstable. In this circuit, we use 1-kΩ resistors, also known as pull-down resistors, to keep the logic states of pin 1 and pin 15 low. Push to make (PTM) button, which advances the count by 1, and also another PTM button to reset the count. He wants to use a 4026 IC counter chip to control each of the seven-segment panels. Your friend, "The Doc", wants to build a special LED display for his time machine, which displays the current time and date, and the time and date of the location, where he plans to visit. The Display Enable Output (DEO) pin 4, and Un-gated C-Segment (UCS) pin 14, are utilised in special divider circuits, and therefore not connected in this Since we have only one stage in this application, we leave the pin unconnected. The "Carry Out" pin 5 produces one pulse at the count of ten, and this is usually utilised as a clock pulse for the next counter stage. If you tied it HIGH, then it would inhibit the clock signal at pin 1. Since in this application we will not be stopping the counter this way, it is best to tie it to the ground to keep it LOW. The "Clock Inhibit" function at pin 2 is utilised when you want to stop the count by blocking the clock signal at pin 1.

One 7-segment panel, it is best practice to tie this pin HIGH to the positive voltage rail. This is useful if you had many display panels, because you could switch them ON only when required thereby saving power. Since 7-segment LED displays consume much power, this chip has specialįunction Display Enable In (DEI) through pin 3, which is has to be HIGH when a display is required.
