Figure 4: Time-division multiplexing performed on the DIS7 display
Figure 5: Principle of time-multiplexing performed on the DIS6 display
In Figure 4, signals provided by the MAX7219 circuit causes segments of the DIS7 display to show number 5. When this display turns
off, the MAX7219 circuit sends a signal to the next display (DIS6), via the DIG6 pin, to show number 6. The same applies to digits
DIS5, DIS4, DIS3, DIS2, DIS1 and DIS0. When one cycle is complete, another one automatically starts, which results in successive
changing of display digits DIS7, DIS6, DIS5, DIS4 etc.
