Basys2 and four bit binary to decimal number into seven segment led display

Posted on April 2, 2016 - April 28, 2016 by margusja

2016-03-21 20.22.56At first the good idea is to draw down signals from the  input to the output. Basically it is the truth table:

In the header we can see seven segment display led signals (ca…cg)

Out – decimal number I hope to display and sw3…sw0 input in binary.

-------------------------------------------------
--ca |cb |cc |cd |ce |cf |cg |out|sw3|sw2|sw1|sw0
-------------------------------------------------
-- 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1
-- 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0
-- 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1
-- 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0
-- 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1
-- 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0
-- 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1
-- 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0
-- 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1
-- 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0

Now we have functional relation between the input and the output so lets implement it in VHDL:

process (sw)
BEGIN
case sw is
	when "0001" => segment7 <= "1001111"; -- 1
	when "0010" => segment7 <= "0010010"; -- 2
	when "0011" => segment7 <= "0000110"; -- 3
	when "0100" => segment7 <= "1001100"; -- 4
	when "0101" => segment7 <= "0100100"; -- 5
	when "0110" => segment7 <= "1100000"; -- 6
	when "0111" => segment7 <= "0001111"; -- 7
	when "1000" => segment7 <= "0000000"; -- 8
	when "1001" => segment7 <= "0001100"; -- 9
	when "0000" => segment7 <= "0000001"; -- 0
	when others => segment7 <= "1111111"; -- blank
end case;
END process;

Quite easy :) - full code is locating https://github.com/margusja/binary2decimalLed/blob/master/one.vhd

But this is not I want. In hardware we can not do thinks like case. So lets move closer to the hardware.

This is not optimized solution but much closer to hardware than previous one. 

Update
Got time and optimized logic.

And sentences are much better compared previous ones:
--ca <= (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND not sw1 AND sw0) OR (not sw3 AND sw2 AND not sw1 AND not sw0);
ca <= (not sw0 AND sw2 AND not sw3) OR (sw0 AND not sw1 AND  not sw2 AND not sw3);
cb <= (sw0 AND not sw1 AND sw2 AND not sw3) OR (not sw0 AND sw1 AND sw2 AND not sw3);
cc <= (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND sw1 AND not sw0);
--cd <= (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND not sw1 AND sw0) OR (not sw3 AND sw2 AND not sw1 AND not sw0) 
--		OR (not sw3 AND sw2 AND sw1 AND sw0) OR (sw3 AND not sw2 AND not sw1 AND sw0);
cd <= (sw0 AND not sw1 AND not sw2) OR (not sw0 AND not sw1 AND sw2 AND not sw3) OR 
		(sw0 AND sw1 AND sw2 AND not sw3);
--ce <= (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND not sw1 AND sw0) OR (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND sw1 AND sw0) 
--			OR (not sw3 AND sw2 AND not sw1 AND not sw0) OR (not sw3 AND sw2 AND not sw1 AND sw0)
--			OR (not sw3 AND sw2 AND sw1 AND sw0) OR (sw3 AND not sw2 AND not sw1 AND sw0);
ce <= (sw0 AND not sw3) OR (not sw1 AND sw2 AND not sw3) OR (sw0 AND not sw1 AND not sw2);
--cf <= (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND not sw1 AND sw0) OR (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND sw1 AND not sw0)
--		OR (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND sw1 AND sw0) OR (not sw3 AND sw2 AND sw1 AND sw0);
cf <= (sw1 AND not sw2 AND not sw3) OR (sw0 AND not sw2 AND not sw3) OR (sw0 AND sw1 AND not sw3);
--cg <= (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND not sw1 AND sw0) OR (not sw3 AND sw2 AND sw1 AND sw0)
--		OR (not sw3 AND not sw2 AND not sw1 AND not sw0);		
cg <= (not sw1 AND not sw2 AND not sw3) OR (sw0 AND sw1 AND sw2 AND not sw3);
