SN7447A: Alternative that has active low output

Nosherwan Ahmed

Part Number: SN7447A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74HC595

Hello,

I was wondering if there is an alternative to SN7447A that has active low outputs for seven segment displays? I was looking for an IC to drive common anode seven segment displays.

Thanks

Hi Ahmed,
I don't know of a part that works that way.

Modern systems typically use a shift register like SN74HC595 rather than a BCD-to-7-segment decoder, which gives them greater flexibility and fewer data lines.
