Texas Instruments TIL370 Four-Digit Clock/Timer LED Display

Features

These Four-Digit Clock/Timer Numeric Seven-Segment LED Displays are intended for use under pulsed conditions by enabling the common cathode of each digit sequentially and enabling the desired Segment anode and Alarm Indicator, Upper Colon Indicator, and Lower Colon Indicator anodes in phase with the character enabling pulse. The pulse rate is kept high enough so that light from each character appears to the eye to be constant. The PM Indicator is accessible with separate anode and cathode terminals for constant on/off operation.

Technology

The displays are formed by placing a one-piece reflector assembly within a transparent plastic case which is attached to a printed circuit board that contains the individual GaAsP (Gallium Arsenide Phosphide) LED chips.

Packaging

The TIL370 uses a 3.2" / 81.28 mm by 1.03” / 26.13 mm rectangular printed circuit board (PCB) with 16 solder tabs with a 0.125” / 3.18 mm pitch arranged on the bottom of the display module.
