Product details
Overview
M74HC4543RM13TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS BCD-to-7-segment latch/decoder with integrated LCD driver in TSSOP-16 package. It decodes 4-bit BCD inputs into seven-segment outputs, supports blanking via BI input, requires external square-wave PH signal for LCD bias, and operates from 2V to 6V with 14ns typical propagation delay at 6V.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC4543RM13TR datasheet, M74HC4543RM13TR pinout, M74HC4543RM13TR application, or M74HC4543RM13TR equivalent, key selection criteria include LCD-compatible segment drive capability, latch-enabled BCD input retention, active-HIGH blanking and phase control, and operation across industrial temperature range (−55°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The M74HC4543RM13TR integrates a BCD input latch, decoder logic, and seven-segment output drivers optimized for low-voltage LCD biasing. Its PH input synchronizes segment outputs to an externally supplied common-backplane AC waveform, while BI enables full display blanking independent of BCD state.
It features symmetrical output impedance (|IOH| = IOL ≥ 4 mA), balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays, and high noise immunity (VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC). All inputs include ESD protection diodes, and the device is fully compatible with standard 74-series 4543 logic function and pinout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports battery-powered and mixed-voltage systems without level shifting |
| tPD (Typ.) | 14 ns at VCC = 6 V - enables fast digit updates in multiplexed LCD displays |
| IOL / IOH (Min.) | 4 mA - sufficient to directly drive LCD segments with typical 1/2 or 1/3 bias ratios |
| ICC (Max.) | 4 µA at TA = 25°C - ultra-low quiescent current for always-on portable instrumentation |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Input Noise Immunity | VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC - robust against supply ripple and crosstalk in noisy PCB layouts |
| Logic Compatibility | Pin- and function-compatible with 74LS4543 and 74HC4543 - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSSOP-16 (4.9 × 6.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), lead-free and RoHS-compliant per STMicroelectronics specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (LD) | Latch Disable Input | Active-HIGH control: latches BCD input when LD = H; transparent when LD = L |
| 2–5 (A–D) | BCD Data Inputs | 4-bit binary-coded decimal address inputs; internally latched on LD edge |
| 6 (PH) | Phase Input | AC square-wave synchronization signal applied to LCD backplane and internal driver timing |
| 7 (BI) | Blanking Input | Active-HIGH: forces all segment outputs LOW regardless of BCD or latch state |
| 8 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0 V return path for logic and segment drive circuits |
| 9–14,15 (a–g) | Segment Outputs | Seven open-drain compatible outputs driving LCD segments a through g; polarity matches PH |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive Supply | Primary power rail (2–6 V); powers logic core and segment drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated BCD latch | Enables stable segment output during BCD bus transitions; eliminates flicker in shared-data-bus systems |
| LCD-optimized drive | Outputs swing rail-to-rail with matched rise/fall times and symmetrical impedance for uniform segment contrast |
| BI-controlled blanking | Hardware-level display disable without CPU intervention-critical for power-down or error states |
| Wide VCC range | Operates from single 3.3 V or dual 5 V supplies; eliminates need for dedicated LCD voltage regulators |
| High ESD tolerance | All inputs protected to ±20 mA DC diode current-reduces need for external TVS in handheld interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar BCD-to-LCD decoder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4543BE | CMOS (not HC), slower tPD (100+ ns @ 5 V), no latch disable (LD), higher ICC (100 µA) | Requires external latch; unsuitable for high-update-rate or ultra-low-power designs | Select only for legacy 4000-series compatibility where speed and power are secondary |
| 74LV4543PW | Lower VCC range (1.0–5.5 V), smaller TSSOP-16 footprint, no PH input - designed for LED, not LCD | Lacks PH synchronization and LCD-specific drive; requires external AC generator and level-shifting for LCD use | Choose only if migrating to LED display or integrating into LV logic families with strict voltage constraints |
Compared with CD4543BE and 74LV4543PW, the M74HC4543RM13TR uniquely combines latch control, PH-synchronized LCD drive, sub-µA standby current, and −55°C to +125°C operation-making it the sole option for robust, low-power, industrial-grade LCD digit drivers.

FAQ
Can M74HC4543RM13TR drive LED displays directly?
No. The M74HC4543RM13TR is optimized for LCD segment drive with AC-coupled outputs synchronized to the PH input. Driving LEDs requires DC-compatible outputs and higher current capability; external transistor arrays or dedicated LED drivers like TLC5928 are required for LED use.
What is the required frequency and duty cycle for the PH input signal?
The PH input must be a clean square wave with 50% duty cycle and frequency matching the LCD's recommended bias frequency-typically 30 Hz to 200 Hz. ST recommends using a microcontroller timer or dedicated oscillator to ensure precise phase alignment with the display's backplane signal.
How does the LD (Latch Disable) pin affect real-time display updates?
When LD = HIGH, the internal latch captures and holds the current BCD input, allowing segment outputs to remain stable during bus contention or slow microcontroller updates. When LD = LOW, outputs follow BCD inputs transparently-enabling dynamic digit scanning but risking transient glitches during data changes.
Is the M74HC4543RM13TR compatible with 3.3 V-only systems?
Yes. It operates down to 2 V and is fully specified at 3.3 V, with VIH = 2.31 V (min) and VIL = 1.09 V (max) at that supply. Input thresholds scale with VCC, ensuring reliable interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters.
