Right Answer is: D

SOLUTION

  • In BCD to 7-segment Decoder, the outputs of a digital circuit are often displayed as decimal digits.
  • BCD to 7-segment decoder is a combinational circuit that converts a BCD number into signals that are required for the display of the value of that number on a seven-segment display.

 

Observations:

  • The decoder outputs are (a, b, c, d, e, f, g)
  • For the display of the digit 0, segments a, b, c, d, e, f will be lit as shown above.


A truth table can be formed for all digits from 0 to 9.
