The CD4511BD/3 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the CD4000 series family. Developed by Texas Instruments, it is a BCD-to-7 segment latch/decoder/driver IC.
Key features of CD4511BD/3 include:
1. BCD-to-7 Segment Decoder/Driver: The CD4511BD/3 is primarily designed to convert binary-coded decimal (BCD) data to a 7-segment display format. It decodes the BCD input and drives the appropriate segments of the 7-segment display.
2. Latch Functionality: This IC includes a built-in latch feature that allows the input data to be stored and held until a new input is received. This enables the constant display of a specific digit without the need for continuous input.
3. Open Collector Outputs: The CD4511BD/3 has open-collector outputs, making it compatible with a wide range of display types, including common cathode and common anode types. The open-collector configuration allows easy integration of external current-limiting resistors for driving the 7-segment displays.
4. Cascadable: The IC can be easily cascaded, enabling the construction of larger display systems with multiple digits or alphanumeric characters. By connecting the outputs of one CD4511BD/3 to the inputs of another, a higher number of digits can be controlled
