1. General description

The HEF4543B is a BCD to 7-segment latch/decoder/driver for liquid crystal and LED displays.

It has four address inputs (D0 to D3), an active LOW latch enable input (LE), an active HIGH

blanking input (BL), an active HIGH phase input (PH) and seven buffered segment outputs (Qa to

Qg).

The circuit provides the function of a 4-bit storage latch and an 8-4-2-1 BCD to 7-segment

decoder/driver. It can invert the logic levels of the output combination. The phase (PH), blanking

(BL) and latch enable (LE) inputs are used to reverse the function table phase, blank the display

and store a BCD code, respectively.

For liquid crystal displays, a square-wave is applied to PH and the electrical common back-plane of

the display. The outputs of the device are directly connected to the segments of the liquid crystal.

It operates over a recommended VDD power supply range of 3 V to 15 V referenced to VSS (usually

ground). Unused inputs must be connected to VDD, VSS, or another input.
