DM7446A, DM7447A
BCD to 7-Segment Decoders/Drivers
General Description
The DM7446A and DM7447A feature active-LOW outputs
designed for driving common-anode LEDs or incandescent
indicators directly. All of the circuits have full ripple-blank-
ing input/output controls and a lamp test input. Segment
identification and resultant displays are shown on a follow-
ing page. Display patterns for BCD input counts above nine
are unique symbols to authenticate input conditions.
All of the circuits incorporate automatic leading and/or trail-
ing-edge, zero-blanking control (RBI and RBO). Lamp test
(LT) of these devices may be performed at any time when
the BI/RBO node is at a HIGH logic level. All types contain
an overriding blanking input (BI) which can be used to con-
trol the lamp intensity (by pulsing) or to inhibit the outputs.

Note 1:
BI/RBO is a wire-AND logic serving as blanking input (BI) and/or ripple-blanking output (RBO).
Note 2:
The blanking input (BI) must be OPEN or held at a HIGH logic level when output functions 0 through 15 are desired. The ripple-blanking input (RBI)
must be OPEN or HIGH if blanking of a decimal zero is not desired.
Note 3:
When a LOW logic level is applied directly to the blanking input (BI), all segment outputs are HIGH regardless of the level of any other input.
Note 4:
When ripple-blanking input (RBI) and inputs A, B, C, and D are at a LOW level with the lamp test input HIGH, all segment outputs go H and the rip-
ple-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 HIGH and a LOW is applied to the lamp-test input, all segment outputs are
L.

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.
