It’s simple a technique used to connect more units in parallel to lessen the pins required, by taking advantage of visual effect. ![]() These Common Cathode and Common Anode displays come in very handy while multiplexing several cells together. In Common Anode, the positive of every LED is connected together and brought out as VCC. The circuit connection of LEDs in common cathode and common anode is shown in above figure. Here one can observe that, in Common Cathode, the negative terminals of every LED is connected together and brought out as GND. The important thing to notice here, the LEDs in any seven segment display are arranged in common anode mode (common positive) or common cathode mode (common negative). The LEDs are fabricated in a manner that lighting of each LED is contained to its own segment. You can see the pin diagram of a seven segment display in below image. ![]() Each of these segments has an LED (Light Emitting Diode). ![]() Here we count events based on number of times button is pressed.īefore moving ahead, let's understand what is a seven segment display. A seven segment display got its name from the very fact that it has seven illuminating segments. ![]() In this tutorial we are going to design a 0-99 counter by interfacing two seven segment displays to ATMEGA32A Microcontroller.
