A numeric display consisting of seven segments per digit, allowing characters 0 to 9 to be displayed by selecting which segment is on or off. Can have each digit independently controlled, or can be multiplexed to reduce pin count. An 8th segment can be included for a decimal point.

Linking two 4511's to drive two independent seven digits displays

If I understand you correctly, you want to use the 4511s to drive two 7-segment displays with the least number of pins possible. I would maybe use a shift register like the SN74ALS164A, so you can us …

7-segment output: 4-6V, LCD input: 3-5V. How to convert?

If the LCD is the "wide voltage" version which can handle up to 5V, simply run both the LCD and the positive rail of the ADC from 5V. If it's the 3V version, then this is probably not a good idea (al …

How do I exchange LCD display with 7-segment LED's?

You could do with an oscilloscope to check the drive signal, but assuming it is just an LCD with no onboard drive IC, then it's likely to be driven with an AC voltage of between something like 50-500H …

Inexpensive Frequency Counter and Display for clock generator

A small micro would do this easily. You can set up a capture compare peripheral to count input pulses and read/clear at a regular interval (e.g. 50ms - use a timer interrupt for this) Then write resul …
