How Digital Count-Down & Count Up Circuits Work
Theory of Operation <Tab/>One common requirement in digital circuits is counting, both forward and backward. Digital clocks and watches are everywhere, timers are found in a range of appliances from microwave ovens to VCRs. This circuit is used as a counter. The two 7-segment displays (1 least significant digit, and 1 most significant digit) count up (LSD = 1/10 sec, MSD = 1/100 sec). The least significant digit's output (carry out) feeds into the most significant …showed first 75 words of 403 total…

The seven outputs are specially coded to display the input decimal code. *8.<Tab/>Finally the 7447 controls the 7 segment display to display the appropriate count state.
