Multiplexing of Seven Segment Displays with PIC Microcontroller
When a Seven Segment Display is interface with PIC Microcontroller it needs minimum 7 pins to display a value. But real time applications like Digital Clock, Calculator, Digital Watch requires 3-6 seven segment displays. Lets assume that we need 6 digit display, ie we need 7 segment * 6 Display = 42 pins. Thus we actually need Microcontroller with 42 output pins. This is waste and not economical to use lot of pins of a Microcontroller just for display. The simplest way...
