DIGITAL SYSTEM SIMULATION LAB OBJECTIVES 1. To expose the student to the simulation of the combinational logic and sequential circuits. Some
basic, commonly used logic IC, such as BCD-to-seven segment decoder and BCD seven segment counter are introduced.

LIST OF REQUIREMENTS
Personal computer workstation installed with TINA software.

THEORY
4-bit binary adder performed the addition of two 4-bit binary words. The sum() outputs are

provided for each bit and the resultant carry (C4) is obtained from the fourth bit. BCD is a 4 bit binary code representing the decimal numbers from 0 to through 9. The binary

number 1010 through 1111 are not used in BCD.

A seven segment LED display contains 7 LEDs. Each LED is called a segment and they are The display has 7 inputs each connected to an LED segment. All anodes of LEDs are tied together

identified as (a,b,c,d,e,f,g) segments. and joined to 5 volts (this type is called common anode type). A limiting resistance network must be used at the inputs to protect the 7-segment from overloading. BCD inputs are converted into 7 segment inputs (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) by using a decoder, A decoder is a combinational circuit that converts binary information from n input lines to a

maximum of 2n output lines. The input to the decoder is a BCD code and the outputs of the systems are the seven segments a, b, c, d, e, f, and g.
