How It Works

4 digits are driven via multiplexing — each digit's common cathode is switched by a BC847 NPN transistor. Segment lines are shared across all digits with 220Ω current-limiting resistors.

Questions

How big is the 7-segment led PCB?

It measures 115.7 × 41.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 7-segment led use?

85 parts, built around the RS-05K2200FT, KTR10EZPF1001 and BC847. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the 7-segment led KiCad files?

From the prashantbhandary/7-segment-led repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 7-segment-led.kicad_pcb and its schematic 7-segment-led.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 7-segment led design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask prashantbhandary before reusing the design.
