7448 BCD To 7-Segment Decoder and Driver (For Common Cathode)

This document describes the 7448 integrated circuit which converts binary coded decimal (BCD) to a 7-segment display output. It accepts a 4-bit BCD input and outputs the correct pattern to light the correct LED segments of a common cathode 7-segment display. It can be used to build a simple 0-9 counter or digital clock by connecting it to the outputs of counter ICs. Microcontrollers can also be programmed to perform the BCD to 7-segment conversion instead of using a 7448 IC.
