IC 7445 (BCD to Decimal Decoders Common Cathode) 7445

Description

1. BCD to Decimal Decoding: The 7445 takes a 4-bit BCD input (Binary Coded Decimal) and decodes it into a decimal digit output. It can represent decimal numbers 0 through 9.
2. Common Cathode Display: The 7445 IC is designed for use with common cathode 7-segment displays, where the common cathode is connected to a low voltage source (GND).
3. Segment Outputs: It provides outputs for controlling the segments (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) of a common cathode 7-segment display.
4. Enable Input: The IC typically includes an active-low enable input to turn the display on or off.
