sn7447n datasheet

The SN7447N is a BCD to 7-segment decoder/driver integrated circuit that is designed to take a binary-coded decimal (BCD) input and convert it into the appropriate output to drive a 7-segment display. With its ability to decode 4-bit BCD inputs, this IC is commonly used in applications that require displaying numeric information, such as digital clocks, electronic meters, and digital indicators. The SN7447N features open-collector outputs which can be used with common-cathode or common-anode 7-segment displays. It also includes built-in features for blanking and controlling the intensity of the display, making it a versatile and easy-to-use solution for driving 7-segment displays in various electronic designs. This device is designed to operate with a wide range of supply voltages, making it suitable for use in both commercial and industrial applications. Its low power consumption and high output voltage capability make it an ideal choice for embedded systems, instrumentation, and consumer electronics. With its reliable performance and ease of use, the SN7447N is a popular choice for designers looking for a reliable and efficient BCD to 7-segment decoder/driver solution.
