74LS49, BCD-to-7 Segment Decoder/Driver, DIP-14

The 74LS49 is a BCD-to-7 segment decoder/driver IC, specifically designed for driving LED-based 7-segment displays. It accepts binary-coded decimal (BCD) inputs and decodes them into the appropriate 7-segment patterns, making it ideal for digital counters, electronic meters, and numerical displays. Operating within a voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V, the 74LS49 is fully TTL compatible, ensuring smooth operation in standard digital logic circuits. The high output drive capability enables direct connection to common-cathode 7-segment displays, reducing the need for additional driver components. With its low-power Schottky (LS) design, the 74LS49 minimizes power consumption while maintaining fast switching speeds. The DIP-16 package makes it easy to integrate into prototyping boards and PCB designs, ensuring reliable operation in embedded systems and display applications.
