Keypad Encoder

Abstract To build a keypad encoder using seven segment displays and checking the output on seven segment display by pressing the different keys (0-9) on keypad. Introduction The keypad encoding is done using ICs 74147, 7447. The outputs of keypad are given to IC74147 via a decoding logic using IC 7402. The IC74147 is 9-input priority encoders accepts data from nine active low inputs (A0-A8) and provide a binary representation on the four active low outputs (Y0-Y3).The outputs from IC 74147 is given to IC 7447.IC 7447 feature active low output designed for driving common anode LEDs or seven segment display directly. When a key is press on keypad, it is displayed on the seven segment display. Block Diagram KEYPAD The block diagram of keypad encoder is shown above. The inputs from keypad is given to IC 74147 which converts the decimal equivalent of input to four bit bcd code. This bcd input is given to the IC 7447 which converts the bcd to seven segment code and this code is given to the seven segment display which directly displays the output. Background The keypad encoder is used to decode the key pressed on keypad and it is displayed on the seven segment display. There are various keypad encoders available in the market which uses various microprocessor chips and complex design for encoding. Those keypad encoders are very complex and so very costly. The keypad encoder designed here is very simple and cost efficient.

Work Focus 10 to 4 line priority encoder Sr.No. 1. 2. Bcd to Seven Segment Decoder Work to be done Searching and finalizing the title of the project. [1]Preparing and submitting the IEEE format report. [2] Constructing the project circuit on the breadboard and verifying or checking the circuit. Preparing the layout design of the circuit on a plane sheet of paper and getting sign on it. Mounting the components on the PCB as per the layout and checking or testing the circuit or project.

Methodology [1] Search the project title on internet or reference books and finalize the title. [2] Check the availability of the components used in the project circuit. [3] If components are available then mount the given components on breadboard as per the circuit diagram and verify the circuit operation. [4] If the verification is done on the breadboard, then prepare the layout of the circuit on a plane paper and get it checked. [5] After that mount the components on PCB and test the circuit. Application The computers, mobile phones, ipod, etc uses some or other keypad for its working. Every instrument has to be operated by giving commands using keypad. This is the most widely used technology. Thus, it become necessary to use keypad encoders to encode the data present on the pressed key on keypad in some other suitable form and use it for the operation of the instrument.

Conclusion Thus, we have finalize the title of the project, got the required components as per the circuit diagram and understood the working or operation of the keypad encoder. From now on, we have to implement this circuit on breadboard and check the output for verification and then mount the same on PCB and test the circuit.
