DM74LS47
BCD to 7-Segment Decoder/Driver with
Open-Collector Outputs
General Descript ion
The DM74LS47 accepts four lines of BCD (8421) input
data, gener ates their compl ements interna lly and d ecodes
the data with seven AND/OR gates having open-collector
output s to drive in dica tor segm ents dir ectly. Each segme nt
output is guaranteed to sink 24 mA in the ON (LOW) state
and withstand 15V in the OFF (HIGH) state with a maxi-
mum leakage current of 2 50 µA. Auxiliary inputs provided
blanking, lamp test and cascadable zero-suppression func-
tions.
Features

Truth Table
Note 2: BI/RBO is wire -AND lo gic serving as blank ing inpu t (BI) and/ or ripple-bla nk ing out put (RB O). T he blan k ing out (BI) m ust be open or he ld at a H I GH
level when output functions 0 through 15 are desired, and ripple-blanking input (RBI) must be open or at a HIGH level if blanking or a decimal 0 is not
desired. X = input may b e 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: W hen ripple -blan king inpu t (RBI) a nd in puts A0 , A1 , A2 a nd A 3 are L OW le vel, with t he l amp tes t i nput at HIGH lev el, all s egm ent out put s go to a
HIGH lev el and th e ripple-b lanking out put (RBO ) goes to a LO W lev el (resp onse con dit ion).
Note 5: When the blanking input/ripple-blanking output (BI/RBO) is OPEN or held at a HIGH lev el, and a LOW level is applied to lamp tes t inp ut , all seg m ent
outputs go to a LOW level.
Functional Description
The DM74LS47 decodes the input data in the pattern indi-
cated 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
high est o rde r d eco der an d co nne cting i ts 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 high-
est order decoder, etc., trailing zeros will be suppressed.
Leading and trailing zeros can be suppressed simulta-
neously by using external gates, i.e.: by driving RBI of a
intermediate decoder from an OR gate whose inputs are
BI/RBO of the next highes t and lowest ord er decoders . BI/
RBO also serves as an unconditional blanking input. The
internal NAND gate that generates the RBO signal has a
resistive pu ll-up, as opposed to a tot em pole, and thus B I/
RBO can be for ced LOW by extern al means, usin g wired-
collector logic. A LOW signal th us applied to BI/RBO tu rns
off all segme nt outputs. Thi s blanki ng feature can be used
to contro l display in tensity by varying the duty cycle o f the
blanking signal. A LOW signal applied to LT turns on all
segment outputs, provided that BI/RBO is not forced LOW.
