Product Code: MIKROE-2840

The�UT-S 7 Seg R Click Board��uses two SMD ultra-thin�DSM7UA20101�7-SEG LED displays, made with the patented technology that delivers a thickness of only 2.1 mm. These displays are driven by the�MAX6969, a constant current LED integrated driver from�Maxim Integrated, which uses the SPI serial interface for communication and delivers a steady and constant power source for the LED segments.

7-segment LED display is the most commonly used type of display to represent changing numerical values. The principle is very simple - seven LED segments are positioned in a certain shape and by turning specific segments on or off, the shape that resembles a specific number is lit. This method of displaying numbers was first used in the beginning of the 20th century, but after the invention of the LED in �70, it is the most commonly used method to display numbers. It utilizes a fairly simple and cheap design with the numbers clearly visible. Be it a clock on the nightstand, a billboard at the airport, a gauge on some machine, a panel on some instrument or a display on the pump at the gas station - the numbers will be always easy to see and read, even in the dark.
