The discussion centers on the need for an integrated circuit (IC) that can convert outputs from a 3-bit adder to display hexadecimal values (A-F) on a 7-segment LED display. The user is currently using a 7483 full adder connected to a 7447 BCD to 7-segment driver but encounters issues when the sum exceeds 9, as the 7447 does not display letters correctly. Suggestions include looking for a hex to 7-segment display driver, specifically mentioning the MC14495 as a potential solution. The user is reviewing the datasheet for the MC14495 to determine its suitability. The conversation highlights the challenge of displaying hexadecimal values using existing components.

guys, you just created a circuit a BCD 4bits Full adder but in my case i just need a 3bits-3bits addition so that i set the A4 to 0 by default...

i used 7483 for 4bits full adder and connect it to a 7447 BCD to 7-segment

A4A3A2A1 + B43B2B1

A4 & B4 are set to 0

so 7 is the maximum value in one input..

my problem is when A+B = greater 9...i need to display a real letter A-F not the default light up of 7447

ex.

101(5) + 101(5) = A (bit letter A)
110(6) + 101(5) = b (small letter b)
111(7) + 101(5) = C (big letter C)
110(6) + 111(7) = d (small letter d)
111(7) + 111(7) = E (small letter E)

but in default in 7447

111(7) + 111(7) = inverted big letter F...

is there an IC which can convert 10-15 to A-F in 7segment led?

or just another IC which can configure 7447?

~help me please

Welcome to the PF.

Instead of "BCD to 7-segment display driver", try Googling Hex to 7-segment display driver...
 
ok, i see an IC, but I am not sure if it is the IC i need...

MC14495...

im studying its datasheet right now, thanks btw...

~yes i am new here in PF, thanks for welcoming...Overwhelming...^_^
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
