NTE7447

Integrated Circuit
TTL BCDtoSevenSegment Decoder/Driver
with Open Collector Outputs
Description:
The NTE7447 is a BCDtoSevenSegment Decoder/Driver in a 16Lead plastic DIP type package
that features activelow outputs designed for driving commonanode VLEDs or incandescent indicators
directly. This device has full rippleblanking input/output controls and a lamp test input. Display patterns
for BCD input count above 9 are unique symbols to authenticate input conditions.
The NTE7447 incorporates automatic leading and/or trailingedge zeroblanking control (RBI and
RBO). Lamp test (LT) may be performed at any time when the BI/RBO node is set at a high level. This
device also contains an overriding blanking input (BI) which can be used to control the lamp intensity
by pulsing or to inhibit the outputs. Inputs and outputs are entirely compatible for use with TTL logic
outputs.

NOTE: BI/RBO is wireAND logic serving as blanking input (BI) and/or rippleblanking output (RBO).
Note 1. The blanking input (BI) must be open or held at a high logic level when output functions
0 through 15 are desired. The rippleblanking input (RBI) must be open or high if blanking
of a decimal zero is not desired.
Note 2. When a low logic level is applied directly to the blanking input (BI), all segment outputs are
off regardless of the level of any other input.
Note 3. When rippleblanking input (RBI) and inputs A, B, C, and D are at a low level with the lamp
test input high, all segment outputs go off and the rippleblanking output (RBO) goes to a
low level (response condition).
Note 4. When the blanking input/ripple blanking output (BI/RBO) is open or held high and a low is
applied to the lamptest input, all segment outputs are on.
