CD4558 BCD to 7-Segment Decoder IC DIP-8 Package

Description

1. IC Type: CD4558 is a BCD to 7-segment decoder/driver IC.
2. BCD to 7-Segment Decoder: It converts a 4-bit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) input into the necessary outputs to display numeric characters on a 7-segment display.
3. DIP-8 Package: The IC is housed in a DIP-8 package, making it easy to interface with standard through-hole PCBs.
4. Input Pins: The CD4558 typically has four input pins (A, B, C, and D) for the BCD input. These pins represent the binary digits.
5. Output Pins: It has 7 output pins (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) that drive the segments of a 7-segment display to create the desired numeric character.
6. 7-Segment Display Support: The CD4558 is used to control common 7-segment displays to show decimal digits (0-9).
7. BCD-to-7-Segment Logic: It contains the logic necessary to decode the BCD input and illuminate the appropriate segments of the 7-segment display to represent the corresponding digit.
8. Applications: It’s widely used in applications where numeric information needs to be displayed, such as digital clocks, calculators, digital instrumentation, and various other devices.
9. Voltage Compatibility: Be sure to check the voltage compatibility of the CD4558 with your application, as it might vary depending on the manufacturer and version.
10. Datasheet: For precise details regarding electrical characteristics, pin configuration, and usage, refer to the datasheet provided by the manufacturer.
