I have designed a circuit to display the 2-digits data using two 7447 decoder. The design is shown below. enter image description here

I have two outputs, O1 and O2. O1 represents the ones digit while O2 represents the tenths digit. However, when I simulate the waveform, it is not correct partially. For example, '63', the '6' seems like is not a correct output. O1 has no issue, but O2 always has problems. How to solve this?

enter image description here

Thank you.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I know 7447 is active-low decoder, that's why output 0 will light up the respective segment. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Just wanted to be sure, because I've no idea how your simulator works with such devices. Your connection looks right on first glance. So I suspected the simulator. \$\endgroup\$

You should have Y6 connected to C on the lower 7447. Otherwise the maximum you can display is 39 base ten.
