[sdiy] Art of electronics computer

[Harry Bissell]

I think that any direct drive 7 segment display can be considered "hexadecimal". It can display the
necessary segments to make all the characters in the hexidecimal set.

I don't know of a direct 'hex' driver chip that takes 4 bit binary and outputs this character set. There ~was~ one (once)
for hex on an LCD display.

The CD4511 is a good example of a driver that will NOT display hex characters. The "a" - "f" are blank...
