The EDE707 seven-segment LED controller handles up to eight 7-segment LED displays, tremendously reducing I/O demand on your host microcontroller as well as eliminating display refresh/scan software overheads. Data is written to the display via a 4-bit data bus using an activelow latch pin. Display data is sent to the unit in BCD (binary-coded decimal) format and is continuously displayed by the EDE707 until the host system provides new data. The EDE707 offers a valuable feature set, including leading zero blanking, counter functionality, an overflow flag, and a full 0-9,A-F Hex character set.

EDE707 Octal Seven-Segment Display IC
OVERVIEW OF OPERATION
The EDE707 Seven-Segment LED Interface IC is designed to control from one up to eight 7-segment LED displays. These displays are connected to the EDE707 via NPN transistors (2N2222 or equivalent) as illustrated in Figures One and Two. Note that the EDE707 can be used with either common-anode or common-cathode type displays. Digit display data is loaded into the EDE707 in binary-coded decimal (BCD) format (Example: 0011 = `3'). Alternately, the EDE707 may be used as a low frequency increment/decrement counter. Power-up state is: all LED displays activated and reset to 0, leading zeros displayed. The EDE707 requires a clock input, which can be either a 4MHz resonator, 4MHz parallel-cut crystal (1522pF load capacitors recommended), or other oscillator source (see OSC1 & OSC2 pin descriptions on page 2). This oscillator controls the internal timing of the EDE707 and causes the displays to be continuously multiplexed to provide flicker-free illumination of the entire display. You'll note in the hookup schematic that the LED segment resistors' values seem low (10 Ohms, 1/4 to 1/2 Watt for a standard display; use higher resistance for high-efficiency displays), seemingly drawing excessive current. However, because the digits are not continuously being driven, but are actually being scanned by the refresh circuitry one display at a time (ON 12.5%, OFF 87.5%), the overall duty cycle must be factored in to determine true current draw. Make certain that the resistors chosen are capable of the current requirements of the LED displays selected. Segment current can be approximated by the formula: 0.125(3.8/R), where 0.125 is the `ON' period of the duty cycle, 3.8 is the supply voltage minus the two transistor voltage drops, and R is the segment series resistor value. LED brightness can be adjusted with this resistor value; for outdoor applications use high-efficiency LED displays. Additional Note: The clock source must always be connected to the EDE707 during circuit operation; failure to do so will prohibit the refresh cycle and leave one display on continuously, possibly causing excessive current flow.
CONNECTING & CONTROLLING THE EDE707
Data and commands are sent to the EDE707 via the four input pins In3..In0 (pins 9..6). This input bus is read by the EDE707 on the falling edge of the CLK/Latch input (pin 1) (See Table Two for data bus setup and hold times). The following table illustrates the command set available on the EDE707:
IN3-IN0 0abc 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111
ACTION: The next byte received is the value for digit ` Increment current counter value by one Decrement current counter value by one Reset all displays to zero (00000000) Lamp test (88888888) Turn entire display off Turn entire display on (default) Blank leading zeros Show leading zeros (default)
Table One: EDE707 Command Set
For example, suppose your circuit has just been powered up with eight displays connected. By default, the displays read all zeros (00000000). If the command `1000' is sent to the EDE707, the least significant digit will be increased by one, and the display will now read 00000001. Page 3/7
EDE707 Octal Seven-Segment Display IC As a second example, suppose you wish to individually load each digit with a value, so that the display reads, for example, 12345678. To start loading the data at the leftmost digit, you would first send the command `0111', telling the EDE707 that the next byte it receives should go into position 111 binary, or Digit 7 (see Table One). You would then send 0001, the digit value for the leftmost display. This [address,data] sequence is followed for the remaining displays until each digit displays the desired value. Now the EDE707 can be ignored by the host microcontroller and it will continuously display the current digit data until the host alters the displayed value.
Figure One: Connection to Common-Anode Displays
The use of 470 Ohm base resistors (1/8th Watt) from the EDE707 Digit and Segment output pins is very important; failure to include them can result in excessive current flow and possible component damage. Figure One illustrates the proper connection for common-anode displays. As illustrated, the displays' common anodes are supplied +5V via an emitter-follower transistor arrangement, and the segment cathodes are grounded using a common-emitter arrangement. Alternately, for common cathode displays (as illustrated in Figure Two below) the transistor drive arrangements are reversed.

EDE707 Octal Seven-Segment Display IC Please note that while zero setup time is required of the input bus, the data must be held on the bus for 1.2mS (1200uS) following the negative edge of the CLK/Latch signal to ensure that the EDE707 is able to complete its current scan cycle before latching the incoming data.

COUNTER FUNCTIONALITY
Counter functionality has been added to the EDE707 to enable it to serve as a stand-alone increment/decrement counter and display controller. The counter uses base ten digits (0-9), and is capable of displaying from values from 0 to 99,999,999. With the value `1000' on the Input Bus, the displayed count value increments by one for each falling edge of the CLK/Latch Pin (pin 1). Similarly, the value `1001' causes the current counter value to be decremented by one. The value `1010' resets all digits to zero. The counter will automatically roll-over on overflow and underflow. Leading zeros can be blanked or displayed; see Table One for appropriate commands. Maximum count speed is 800 increments or decrements per second. The `Zero Detect Flag' (pin 17) serves two purposes. For one, it serves as a overflow flag when the count rolls over from 99,999,999 to 0. Secondly, it serves as a zero-reached flag when the counter decrements from 1 to 0. In both cases the flag is activated for 10uS. Page 6/7
