4-Bit Decimal Display
Display driver ICs are available in several standard implementations. This circuit makes use of a GAL 22V10 to drive two 7-segment displays without multiplexing. A 4-bit binary code at inputs A/B/C/D is converted to a decimal number. An example of an application is the ‘Audio Limiter (for DVD)’, but take note of the voltage levels! The multiplexers used there are driven by a 4-bit binary counter. This circuit will give a better indication of the behaviour and settings of the limiter.
