Substitution Feasibility Conclusion
Given their highly similar technical parameters, the CD74HCT4543E can serve as a replacement for the CD74HCT4543EE4. However, the external drive configuration must be adjusted according to the actual display type (LCD or LED); otherwise, display abnormalities or device damage may occur. Circuit design compatibility should be verified before substitution.
Comparison Points
1. Display Drive Type: The CD74HCT4543EE4 is described as an LCD driver, while the CD74HCT4543E is described as an LED driver. The internal drive circuitry or factory default configuration is optimized for different display technologies: LCD driving requires an AC signal to avoid polarization effects, whereas LED driving requires DC current to control brightness. Direct interchange without adjusting the drive mode (e.g., via the Phase pin configuration) may result in distorted LCD display or unstable LED brightness.
2. Functional Specification: The CD74HCT4543E is explicitly labeled as "1 Digit," while the CD74HCT4543EE4 is not specified. This suggests the latter may be a general-purpose driver, whereas the former is optimized for single-digit applications. In practice, both share identical BCD-to-7-segment decoder functionality. The difference lies only in documentation labeling and has no direct impact on electrical performance.
