I am trying to design a stereo receiver and would like to indicate
functions and status using alpha numeric displays. For example for
my surround sound processor. When someonechooses matrix. The word
matrix appears on the display in alpha numeric characters. Is there
a chip that will convert a 4 or 8-bit signal and output an alpha
numeric display to the appropriate letter you choose. Then I could multiplex
this and have a 6-segment alpha numeric driver. I would appreciate any
help.
