Design a combinational logic circuit to display your birthday date DD-MM-YYYY (ex. 01-07-1991) in a serial fashion through a 7 segment display unit. (i) Generate a truth table for this circuit (ii) Obtain the minimized output expressions (iii)Implement the design using logic gates. Step 1: Segment Control for Digits Each number from 0 to 9 can be represented on a 7-segment display with specific segments turned on or off. Here's a reminder of the mapping: Digit a b c d e f g 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 3 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 4 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 5 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 6 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 7 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 8 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 9 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 Explanation : A 7-segment display consists of seven LEDs labeled a to g . Each segment can be independently controlled (on or off) to display different numerals. The segment control for each number is universally standard and predefined based on which segments need to be illuminated to represent a particular numeral visually. This step involves listing these configurations so that we can later design logic circuits for each segment that respond correctly depending on the digit to be displayed. Step 2: Serial Display Concept Given the requirement to display the digits serially: We need a mechanism to switch between each digit of "01-07-1991". This can be implemented using a counter that outputs a binary code to select each digit successively. Explanation : Since a 7-segment display can show only one numeral at a time, and we need to display multiple numerals in sequence (serially), we require a system to select which numeral to display at any given time. This is typically accomplished using a counter and a multiplexer: Counter : It generates a sequence of binary values that change over time, which can be used to select which numeral is displayed. Multiplexer (MUX) : It takes multiple input signals (digit configurations for 0-9) and selects one to output based on the current value of the counter. Each counter state corresponds to a different numeral from the date. Step 3: Detailed Truth Table and Minimized Expressions For simplification, let’s reevaluate the initial proposal and consider how to create a truth table that includes the serialization logic, focusing on how the counter interacts with the segment control. Serial Input Assume an 8-bit input where bits are assigned to select specific digits ( 01-07-1991 ): A 4-bit counter can suffice as there are 8 unique digits to display (0, 1, 9, 0, 7, 1, 9, 1). Implementing with Logic Gates For each segment ( a to g ), you would calculate a Boolean function that includes the counter state: Create Boolean expressions for each segment based on the counter's output. Simplify these expressions using Karnaugh maps or software tools for Boolean algebra minimization. Example Minimization for Segment a : Suppose we focus on segment a for digits 0, 1, 2: a is on for digits 0 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 . Karnaugh Map or software would be used to minimize the Boolean expression, considering both the counter state and the digit logic. Explanation : This step combines the binary output of the counter (which selects the digit) with the required segment states (from Step 1) to form a comprehensive truth table. Each row in the table corresponds to a counter state and the associated segment states (on/off) for displaying the correct digit. Boolean Minimization : Using tools like Karnaugh Maps or Boolean algebra software, these expressions are then simplified to minimize the number of logic gates needed in the final circuit design. Each segment will have its own simplified Boolean expression based on its requirements across all digits. Step 4: Circuit Design Using Logic Gates Based on the minimized expressions: Use AND, OR, NOT, and perhaps XOR gates to construct the logic for each segment. Employ a counter to cycle through the date digits, with the counter output feeding into the logic circuitry for digit selection. Explanation : Based on the minimized Boolean expressions for each segment ( a to g ), logic circuits are constructed using basic logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, XOR). These circuits are responsible for turning on the appropriate segments of the display based on the current digit selected by the counter and MUX. Step 5: Putting It Together Counter : A 4-bit binary counter that advances every cycle to select the next digit. Multiplexer (MUX) : Might be used for cleaner digit selection, where each output of the counter selects one of the eight pre-computed digit configurations for display. Segment Control Logic : Individual circuits for each of a to g segments, driven by the output of the counter/MUX. Explanation : Counter : This digital counter progresses through its states, each state being a specific binary code that represents a digit in the sequence "01-07-1991". MUX : It takes each digit’s configuration as input and, based on the counter's current state, outputs the necessary signals to the segment control circuits. Segment Control Logic : Re
