Abstract :
The design of a controller circuit for an Amharic numerical display is described. The Amharic numerals, comprising numerals from 0 to 19, are displayed on two 5×7 dot or light-emitting-diode matrixes. The circuit controls the state (i.e. on or off) of each dot to display the desired Amharic numerals. The design is compiled in an integrated circuit chip form using a silicon compiler tool. Prototypes were manufactured and tested. The possible insertion of the design in a TV display control system is discussed
