The CD4543BMT is an integrated circuit (IC) component that serves as a BCD-to-7 segment latch/decoder/driver. It is commonly used in various digital display applications, such as digital clocks, scoreboards, and digital instruments. The CD4543BMT IC provides a convenient way to convert Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) inputs into signals that can drive a 7-segment LED display.
Key features of the CD4543BMT IC include:
1. BCD-to-7 Segment Decoder: The CD4543BMT can take a BCD input, which is a 4-bit binary code, and decode it to generate the signals required to drive a 7-segment LED display. It can handle BCD inputs ranging from 0000 to 1001 (0 to 9 in decimal).
2. Latch Functionality: This IC includes a latch that allows the decoded output to be held or latched until a new input is received. This feature is useful when working with multiplexed display systems.
3. Hexadecimal Outputs: The CD4543BMT generates hexadecimal segment outputs (A, B, C, D, E, F, G), which can be directly connected to the corresponding segments of a 7-segment LED display
