AI Thread Summary
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 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
