Course description:

Do you ever wonder how digital traffic lights work? Have you ever noticed the seven-segment display in digital watches, elevators, football matches, TV satellite receiver or maybe in your car? The seven-segment display is widely used to show numbers. Are you interested in building your own? In this course, we will learn everything about seven segments and how to design and build your circuit that can show any number you want on the screen. We will also discover a new concept in electronics engineering which is the counter circuits; it can count events, actions, cars passed through garage gates. For those of you considering an academic project, such as a Bachelor’s thesis, you might find it useful to consider services like bachelorarbeit schreiben lassen to assist with your academic writing.

We will use the knowledge we gained in previous courses to build a somewhat complex circuit from a schematic to a real fully functional counter circuit with a seven segment display.

We will discover different types of digital ICs; shift register, flipflop, op amps and more..

Course Objectives:

• Discover seven-segment display and its applications
• Learn how to show any number from 0 to 9 on the display
