Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A microcontroller needs to display the binary number '0000 1001' on a 7-segment display using BCD. Discuss how to derive the segments that will light up, and explain if this is a valid BCD representation.

💡 Hint: Refer to the mapping of segments for each decimal representation.

Challenge 2 Hard

Suppose you have a scenario where you need to control 4 different 7-segment displays to show a count from 0 to 15. What strategy would you implement to control these displays efficiently?

💡 Hint: Consider the timing and pin usage to minimize hardware requirements.
