TC7106/A/TC7107/A
9.0
The TC7107A is designed to work from ±5V supplies.
However, if a negative supply is not available, it can be
generated from the clock output with two diodes, two
capacitors, and an inexpensive IC
FIGURE 9-1:
From +5V.
In selected applications a negative supply is not
required. The conditions to use a single +5V supply
are:
• The input signal can be referenced to the center
• The signal is less than ±1.5V.
• An external reference is used.
The TSC7660 DC-to-DC converter may be used to
generate -5V from +5V

The TC7107A sinks the LED display current and this
causes heat to build up in the IC package. If the internal
voltage reference is used, the changing chip
temperature can cause the display to change reading.
By reducing the LED common anode voltage, the
TC7107A package power dissipation is reduced.
Figure 9-3
relationship between output current and output voltage
for a typical TC7107CPL. Since a typical LED has 1.8
volts across it at 7 mA, and its common anode is
connected to +5V, the TC7107A output is at 3.2V (point
A on
8.1 mA x 3.2V x 24 segments = 622 mW.
FIGURE 9-3:
Output Voltage.
Notice, however, that once the TC7107A output voltage
is above two volts, the LED current is essentially
constant as output voltage increases. Reducing the
output voltage by 0.7V (point B in
7.7 mA of LED current, only a 5 percent reduction.
Maximum power dissipation is only 7.7 mA x 2.5V x 24
= 462 mW, a reduction of 26%. An output voltage
reduction of 1 volt (point C) reduces LED current by
10% (7.3 mA) but power dissipation by 38% (7.3 mA x
2.2V x 24 = 385 mW).
Reduced power dissipation is very easy to obtain.

resistor, or a 1A diode placed in series with the display
(but not in series with the TC7107A). The resistor will
reduce the TC7107A output voltage, when all 24
segments are “ON,” to point “C” of
segments turn off, the output voltage will increase. The
diode, on the other hand, will result in a relatively
steady output voltage, around point “B”.
