DM74LS47 BCD to 7-Segment Decoder/Driver with Open-Collector Outputs

DM74LS47
BCD to 7-Segment Decoder/Driver with

Open-Collector Outputs

General Description

The DM74LS47 accepts four lines of BCD (8421) input
data, generates their com plements interna lly and decodes
the data with seven AND/OR gates havin g open-collector
outputs to drive indica tor segm ents dir ectly. Each segment
output is guaranteed to sink 24 mA in the ON (LOW) state
and withstand 15V in the OFF (H IGH) state with a maxi­mum leakage current of 250 µA. Auxiliary in puts provided
blanking, lamp test and cascadable zero-suppression func­tions.

Features

■ Open-collector outputs

■ Drive indicator segments directly

■ Cascadable zero-suppression capability

■ Lamp test input

Truth Table

Note 2: BI/RBO is wire-AN D logic serving as blanking input (B I) and/or ripple-bla nk ing output (RBO). The blanking out (BI) must be open or held at a HIGH

level when output fun ctions 0 through 15 ar e desired, and ripple-bl anking input (RBI

) must be open or at a HIGH lev el if blanking or a decima l 0 is not

desired. X = input may be HIGH or LOW.
Note 3: When a LOW level is applied to the blanking input (forced condition) all segment outputs go to a HIGH level regardless of the state of any other input

condition.
Note 4: When ripple-b lanking input (RB I

) and inputs A0, A1, A2 a nd A3 are LOW le vel, w ith th e l amp test inpu t a t H IGH leve l, a ll se gme nt o utpu ts go t o a

HIGH level and the ripple-blanking output (RBO

) goes to a LOW level (re sp onse condition).

Note 5: When the blanking input/ripple-blanking output (BI

/RBO) is OPEN or hel d at a HIG H lev el, and a LOW level is applied to lamp test input , all seg m ent

outputs go to a LOW level.

Functional Description

The DM74LS47 decodes the input data in the pattern indi­cated in the Truth Table and the segment identification
illustration. If the input data is decimal zero, a LOW signal
applied to the RBI

blanks the display and causes a multi-

digit display. For example, by grounding the RBI

of the

highest order decoder and connecting its BI

/RBO to RBI of
the next lowest order decoder, etc., leading zeros will be
suppressed. Similarly, by grounding RBI

of the lowest order

decoder and connecting its BI

/RBO to RBI of the next high­est order decoder, etc., trailing zeros will be suppressed.
Leading and trailing zeros can be suppressed simulta­neously by using external gates, i.e.: by driving RBI

of a

intermediate decoder fro m an OR gate whose inputs are
BI

/RBO of the next highest and lowest order decoders. BI/
RBO also serves as an unconditio nal blanking input. The
internal NAND gate that gen erates the RBO

signal has a
resistive pull-up, as oppose d to a totem pole, and thu s BI/
RBO can be forced LOW by exte rnal means, usin g wired­collector logic. A LOW signal thus app lied to BI

/RBO turns
off all segment outputs. This b lanking f eature can be used
to control display inten sity by vary ing the d uty cycle of the
blanking signal. A LOW signal applied to LT

turns on all

segment outputs, provided that BI

/RBO is not forced LOW.

Absolute Maximum Ratings(Note 6)

Note 6: The “Absolute Maximum Ratin gs” are those v alues beyon d which

the safety of the dev ice cannot be guaranteed. T he device sh ould not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
