Case Study 

1. A BCD to seven segment decoder is a combinational circuit that accepts a decimal in BCD and generates the appropriate outputs decimal digit. The seven outputs of decoder (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) select the corresponding segments in the display. Design the BCD to seven segment decoder circuit (20)
