sn74ls47n datasheet

The SN74LS47N is a BCD to 7-segment latch/decoder/driver IC, designed for use in electronic display and counter applications. This integrated circuit features a 4-bit binary coded decimal (BCD) input that is decoded into the corresponding 7-segment display outputs. The SN74LS47N also includes an internal latch that holds the last input data, eliminating the need for continuous refreshing of the display. This IC is ideal for applications such as digital clocks, frequency counters, and electronic test equipment, where a 7-segment display is used to visually represent numerical information. With its low power consumption and high noise immunity, the SN74LS47N offers reliable and efficient performance in various electronic designs. The SN74LS47N is compatible with a wide range of input voltage levels and is designed to interface directly with common-cathode 7-segment displays. With its versatile functionality and robust design, the SN74LS47N is a popular choice for engineers and hobbyists looking to implement 7-segment display functionality in their electronic projects.
