Laboratory ( DTL team 2 ), Faculty of Physics, University of Sciences and Technology - Oran, B.P. 1505, El M’nouar, ORAN, ALGERIA, phone: (213) 041.42.15.81 Briefly, in order to drive a multiplexed four 7-segment digits display, we need 7 + 4 = 11 lines (asuming the decimal point is not used) as shown in figure 1 . The references [1] [2] [3] may be useful to be read for full and detailed explanations. Previous EDN design ideas [4] [5] [6] show solutions to minimize the number of lines, to be able to use pin-limited microcontrollers. But those solutions require, in general, one (or more) additionnal digital integrated circuit(s), which increase components count, PCB footprint and cost. This article shows a solution to reduce the number of 11 lines downto 8 lines only, keeping the same number of components count . Figure 2 shows that mixing common-anode and common-cathode type, with PNP and NPN bipolar transistors require 7 + 2 = 9...
