SSD Seven Segment Display Common Anode CA 7 Segment

Description

Introduction:
The seven segments displays are the oldest yet one of the efficient types of display used in embedded applications. This display has nothing more than 8 LED inside it. These 8 LEDs are separated into each segments which can be named as a,b,c,d,e,f,g,DP as shown in the picture above. These entire 8 segment LEDs have one end of their pins pulled out of the module as shown above and the other ends are connected together and pulled out as the Common pin. The common anode display is commonly called CA display. In this type the common pin on the 7-segment display is connected to all the eight Anode pins of the LEDs. So In order to make this type of seven segment display to work we should connect he Com pin to the Vcc (+5V typically) and ground the required segment pin to turn it on.

Interfacing with Arduino Uno:

Features:

1. Available in two modes Common Cathode (CC) and Common Anode (CA)
2. Available in many different sizes like 9.14mm,14.20mm,20.40mm,38.10mm,57.0mm and 100mm (Commonly used/available size is 14.20mm)
3. Available colours: White, Blue, Red, Yellow and Green (Res is commonly used)
4. Low current operation
5. Better, brighter and larger display than conventional LCD displays.
6. Current consumption : 30mA / segment
7. Peak current : 70mA

Application:

1. Used in applications where font size is required to be bigger
2. Microcontroller Independent, hence used in small circuit projects
3. Used in combination with four segments to display measurement/sensor value  with four characters
4. Has bright illumination, hence used where display are required to work in low light or dark conditions
