DESCRIPTION
The NE587 is a latch/decoder/driver for 7-segment common anode
LED displays. The NE587 has a programmable current output up to
50mA which is essentially independent of output voltage, power
supply voltage, and temperature. The data (BCD) inputs and LE
(latch enable) input are low-loading so that they are compatible with
any data bus system. The 7-segment decoding is implemented with
a ROM so that alternative fonts can be made available.
FEATURES
•Latched BCD inputs
•Low loading bus-compatible inputs
•Ripple-blanking on leading- and/or trailing-edge zeros
APPLICATIONS
•Digital panel motors
•Measuring instruments
•Test equipment
•Digital clocks
•Digital bus monitoring

NOTES:
NE587 Programming:
The NE587 output current can be programmed, provided a program resistor, R
P
, be connected between IP (Pin 8) and Ground (Pin 9). The
voltage at I
P
(Pin 8) is constant (≈1.3V). Thus, a current through RP is IP ≈ 1.3V/RP, as shown in Figure 5. IO/IP is 20 in the 15 to 50mA output
current range.
