0.56" Seven Segment Display C.A. 3 Digit
- Display Type: Seven Segment LED Display
- 7-segment LEDs allow for the display of digits 0-9 by illuminating various combinations of the seven segments (labeled a-g) within each digit.
-
Digit Height: 0.56 inches
- Each digit’s height is 0.56" (14.22mm), which makes it visible from a medium distance and suitable for a variety of applications like clocks, counters, or digital displays.
-
Number of Digits: 3 Digits
- The display module consists of three 7-segment digits, allowing it to display numbers ranging from 000 to 999 (or any combination of 3 digits).
- Common applications include time displays, temperature readings, voltage readings, and other numerical data.
-
Color:
- Typically available in red, green, or yellow LED colors, with red being the most common.
- Red LEDs are the standard for most consumer and industrial applications due to their good visibility and low power consumption.
-
Input Pins (Common Anode / Common Cathode):
- The display can be either Common Anode (CA) or Common Cathode (CC). In a Common Anode (C.A.) display, all the anodes of the segments are connected together, and individual segments are illuminated by applying a LOW voltage to the segment pins.
- A Common Cathode (C.C.) display would work by applying HIGH voltage to the common cathode pin, and the segments are turned on by supplying a LOW voltage to each segment pin.
-
Operating Voltage:
- Typically 5V DC, but some models can operate within a range of 3.3V to 12V DC.
- Power consumption can range from 20mA to 30mA per segment depending on the operating voltage and brightness setting.
-
Drive Method:
- Multiplexed Display: Typically, these displays are multiplexed, meaning that the microcontroller or driver circuit turns on one digit at a time but does so rapidly enough to make it appear as though all digits are lit simultaneously.
- This reduces the number of control lines needed.
-
Current Consumption:
- 30mA to 50mA per digit, depending on the brightness level and the operating voltage.
