Microcontroller 7 Segment Interfacing

Seven segment display is a basic type of display which can display numbers from 0 to 9. The circuit for interfacing single 7 segment display is shown below.

Driving a 7 segment display is as simple as flashing LEDs, but here we are flashing 7+1 LEDs. The 7 segment display module has 8 LEDs (7 segments to display number and one segment for decimal point or dot) arranged in a particular manner as shown in image below.

By driving (in the sense controlling ON and OFF conditions) these LEDs in various combinations, we can display the numbers 0 to 9. There are basically two types of 7 segment displays, they are common cathode and common anode. In common cathode, the cathodes of all the LED segments are connected together, we should apply a logic 1 or high input to a segment pin to light up that particular segment, and in common cathode the case is opposite. Table below shows the combinations of inputs to be applied to 7 segment display for digits 0 to 9.
For common cathode displays
Digit binary input value hexadecimal input value
0 11111100 FC
1 01100000 60
2 11011010 DA
3 11110010 F2
4 01100110 66
5 10110110 B6
6 10111110 BE
7 11100000 E0
8 11111110 FE
9 11110110 F6

For common anode displays
Digit binary input value hexadecimal input value
0 00000011 03
1 10011111 9F
2 00100101 25
3 00001101 0D
4 10011001 99
5 01001001 49
6 01000001 41
7 00011111 1F
8 00000001 01
9 00001001 09
The images shown below are the photographs of 7 segment add-on board for my microcontroller board, I have included one 7 segment in the current version of my development board, so if you are using that circuit then you don’t need an external 7 segment display board. Click on the image to enlarge.

The assembly language source code for interfacing 7 segment display is given below.
