The SN74LS247DR belongs to the category of integrated circuits (ICs), specifically in the family of digital decoders/demultiplexers.
It is commonly used for converting binary-coded decimal (BCD) input data into seven-segment display outputs for driving a common-cathode LED display.
The SN74LS247DR is available in a 16-pin dual in-line package (DIP).
This IC serves as a BCD-to-seven-segment latch/decoder/driver, essential for displaying numerical information on a seven-segment display.
It is typically packaged in tubes or reels and is available in various quantities depending on the supplier.
The SN74LS247DR integrates a BCD-to-seven-segment decoder, which takes BCD input and drives a seven-segment display. It also includes a latch to store the BCD input and a blanking input for controlling the display output.
When a BCD input is applied, the latch stores the data and the decoder converts it into signals to drive the corresponding segments of the seven-segment display. The blanking input can be used to control the display output.
The SN74LS247DR is widely used in electronic devices that require numerical display, such as digital clocks, electronic meters, and instrumentation panels. It is also utilized in consumer electronics like microwave ovens and calculators.
In conclusion, the SN74LS247DR is a versatile IC with a wide range of applications in digital display systems, offering efficient BCD-to-seven-segment conversion and driving capabilities.
