Description

The SN74LS47N is a specialized TTL integrated circuit designed to accept a 4-bit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) input and decode it into the appropriate signals to drive a common-anode 7-segment LED display. It features “open-collector” outputs, which are capable of sinking up to 24mA, allowing it to drive many common LED displays directly without external transistors.

Beyond simple decoding, the IC includes lamp-test (LT-bar) and blanking inputs/ripple-blanking outputs (BI/RBO-bar), which facilitate display testing and leading/trailing zero suppression in multi-digit display applications.

Features

  • BCD to 7-segment decoding logic
  • Open-collector outputs (high-current sink capability)
  • Active-LOW lamp-test, blanking input, and ripple-blanking outputs
  • Low-power Schottky (LS) TTL technology
  • Standard 16-pin DIP through-hole package

Benefits

  • Direct Drive: Capable of driving common-anode displays directly, reducing component count.
  • Advanced Control: Built-in zero suppression and test functions simplify multi-digit display designs.
  • Compatibility: Perfectly matches standard BCD outputs from counters and microcontrollers.

Applications

  • Digital Clocks and Timers
  • Numeric Readouts for Counters/Calculators
  • Display Systems for Instrumentation
  • Educational Digital Electronics Projects

Package Includes

  • 1 x SN74LS47N BCD to 7-Segment Decoder/Driver IC (DIP-16)
