74LS46N DIP BCD To Seven-Segment Display Decoder/Driver with 30V Open Collector Outputs

Product Description: 74LS46N DIP BCD to Seven-Segment Display Decoder/Driver with 30V Open Collector Outputs

The 74LS46N is a BCD to Seven-Segment Display Decoder/Driver IC in a DIP-16 package. It converts a 4-bit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) input into a decoded 7-segment display output, making it ideal for driving 7-segment LED displays in various digital applications. This IC features open collector outputs, which allow for high flexibility in interfacing with external components and driving higher voltages (up to 30V) while keeping the driving current low. The 74LS46N is TTL compatible, offers low power consumption, and provides fast and reliable performance for systems requiring clear, human-readable numerical displays.

Features:

• BCD to Seven-Segment Decoding: The IC decodes a 4-bit BCD input into a 7-segment display output, making it perfect for driving numeric displays in devices like digital clocks, counters, and meters.
• 30V Open Collector Outputs: Designed with open collector outputs that can handle external voltages up to 30V, offering greater flexibility in interfacing with higher voltage systems and components.
• Drive Capability for 7-Segment Displays: Capable of driving 7-segment displays directly, with each of the 7 segments activated by the BCD input to show the corresponding decimal number.
• TTL Compatible: Fully compatible with Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) circuits, allowing easy integration into TTL-based systems.
• Standard DIP-16 Package: The IC comes in a DIP-16 package, ensuring easy integration into standard circuit boards and making it ideal for both prototyping and mass production.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for low-power operation, making it suitable for battery-powered devices or other energy-efficient applications.
• Wide Voltage Range: Operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V, offering flexibility across different power supply configurations.
• High-Speed Operation: Fast decoding speed ensures quick updates and minimal delay in driving displays for time-sensitive applications.
