BI/RBO is wire-AND logic serving as blanking input (BI) and/or ripple-blanking output (RBO). The blanking out (BI) must be open or held at a HIGH
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 be 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:
When ripple-blanking input (RBI) and inputs A0, A1, A2 and A3 are LOW level, with the lamp test input at HIGH level, all segment outputs go to a
HIGH level and the ripple-blanking output (RBO) goes to a LOW level (response condition).
Note 5:
When the blanking input/ripple-blanking output (BI/RBO) is OPEN or held at a HIGH level, and a LOW level is applied to lamp test input, all segment
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
highest order decoder and connecting its 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 highest and lowest order decoders. BI/
RBO also serves as an unconditional blanking input. The
internal NAND gate that generates the RBO signal has a
resistive pull-up, as opposed to a totem pole, and thus BI/
RBO can be forced LOW by external means, using wired-
collector logic. A LOW signal thus applied to BI/RBO turns
off all segment outputs. This blanking feature can be used
to control display intensity by varying the duty cycle of the
blanking signal. A LOW signal applied to LT turns on all
segment outputs, provided that BI/RBO is not forced LOW.

Note 6:
The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which
the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the conditions
for actual device operation.
