I want to display the 3 digits of an 8-bit BCD on 3 individual seven segment displays (SSD's) - HOW CAN I DO THIS?

I.e. I have the number 124 in 8-bit BCD (01111100) and wish to display a 1 on the first SSD, a 2 on the second SSD, and a 4 on the third SSD

PS Im planning on using LS TTL chips for the rest of the circuit


Cheers,

Will,
The number is in Binary, not BCD.

So first you have to convert it to BCD.

124 in BCD is 0001, 0010, 0100

Do you want to do this in hardware or with a microcontroller?

I think I posted a hardware solution some time ago. Others may have contributed also.

So do a search on BCD and see what appears.
