Common Anode SSD • Example • What value would be displayed in the common anode seven-segment display shown?
How to make an Anode SSD • Solution • Common Anode: • 0 volts = Segment On • a, b, c, d, & g • 5 volts = Segment Off • e & f
Common Cathode SSD • Example • What value would be displayed in the common cathode seven-segment display shown?
How to make a Cathode SSD • Solution • Common Cathode: • 5 volts = Segment On • a, b, c • 0 volts = Segment Off • d, e, f & g
