Texas Instruments SN75494 aka SN27423, SN27914

Features

The SN75494 provides the same basic function as the SN75492 but with some key differences:

* Operates from lower Vcc voltages, as low as 3.2V
* The SN75494 provides access to the predriver collectors via the Vcc pin to allow good saturation of the output transistors
* An enable input is provided to allow display blanking

The SN75494 is preferred on designs running on 3 batteries and is typically found in early designs with additional segment drivers (TMS0120).

Usage

SR-10 and other early LED calculators
