They both have a close resemblance except for the polarity of LEDs and the common terminal. It is also commonly known as a CA display.

#Common cathode 7 segment display code#
Users may write their own code to read an analog voltage from a sensor or other source and display it on the 4 x 7segment displays. The code is pretty simple, it will read 0 to 5V on analog pin A0 and display 0 to 1000 display, basically 0 to 5V mapping to 0-1000.
Arduino code is provided to test the board. The circuit operates with 5V DC and consumes a few milliamps. All displays are used in multiplexing configurations. The project consists of an Atmega328 microcontroller, 4 x BC847 NPN transistors to drive the common cathode displays. You should now see the 7-segment display from 0 to 9 and then A to F, back and forth.This project will help you to easily develop an Arduino compatible project that requires 4 x -7Segment 0.5″ displays. Step 4: Upload the sketch to the SunFounder Uno board Step 2: Program (Please refer to the example code in LEARN -> Get Tutorial on our website) The wiring between the 7-segment display and the SunFounder Uno board is as shown below: 7-Segment Display The individual segments are illuminated by applying a ground, logic “0” or “LOW” signal via a suitable current limiting resistor to the Cathode of the particular segment (a-g). The Common Anode (CA) – In the common anode display, all the anode connections of the LED segments are joined together to logic “1”. The individual segments are illuminated by application of a “HIGH”, or logic “1” signal via a current limiting resistor to forward bias the individual Anode terminals (a-g). The Common Cathode (CC) – In the common cathode display, all the cathode connections of the LED segments are joined together to logic “0” or ground. The difference between the two displays, as their name suggests, is that the common cathode has all the cathodes of the 7-segments connected directly together and the common anode has all the anodes of the 7-segments connected together. As each LED has two connecting pins, one called the “Anode” and the other “Cathode”, there are therefore two types of LED 7-segment display called: Common Cathode (CC) and Common Anode (CA). The display’s common pin is generally used to identify which type of 7-segment display it is. This then allows us to display each of the ten decimal digits 0 through to 9 on the same 7-segment display. So by forward biasing the appropriate pins of the LED segments in a particular order, some segments will be light and others will be dark allowing the desired character pattern of the number to be generated on the display. The other LED pins are connected together and wired to form a common pin. These LED pins are labeled from a through to g representing each individual LED. An additional 8th LED is sometimes used within the same package thus allowing the indication of a decimal point (DP) when two or more 7-segment displays are connected together to display numbers greater than ten.Įach one of the seven LEDs in the display is given a positional segment with one of its connection pins being brought straight out of the rectangular plastic package. Each of the seven LEDs is called a segment because when illuminated the segment forms part of a numerical digit (both Decimal and Hex) to be displayed. The 7-segment display consists of seven LEDs arranged in a rectangular fashion.

In this lesson you will learn how to use such a display to display characters. Different letters/numbers can be represented by connecting different pins on the display to the power source, thus turning on the LEDs in parallel. A 7-segment display is a device made up of seven LEDs connected in parallel that can be used for displaying numerals and some letters.
