What are the key features of HDSP-3903?
- 1-digit 8-LED common cathode 7-segment display with 20.32 mm digit height and high-efficiency red output for clear numeric readout
- IC-compatible drive interface with 40 mA max forward current and 3.5 V max forward voltage allows direct connection to standard CMOS/TTL decoder drivers
- 18-pin DIP package with decimal point segment enables drop-in integration in breadboard prototypes and through-hole PCB designs without additional circuitry
What is HDSP-3903 used for?
The HDSP-3903 is used in industrial panel meters, laboratory instruments, and consumer appliances where a single-digit, high-efficiency red LED numeric readout is required. Its 20.32 mm digit height ensures readability at distances up to 3 meters in factory floor or bench-top settings, and the IC-compatible common cathode drive simplifies interfacing with BCD-to-7-segment decoder ICs such as the 74HC4511. Engineers also integrate this display in legacy electronic designs, educational kits, and test equipment where through-hole DIP components are preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the digit height and configuration of the HDSP-3903 and how does it affect readability at distance?
The HDSP-3903 features a 20.32 mm (0.8 inch) digit height in a single-digit common cathode configuration with decimal point. At this height, the display is legible at distances up to approximately 3 meters in typical indoor lighting, making it suitable for panel meters, counter displays, and instrument front panels where the operator views the readout from across a workbench or control station.
How should the HDSP-3903 be driven to stay within its maximum forward current rating?
Each segment of the HDSP-3903 has a maximum forward current of 40 mA and maximum forward voltage of 3.5 V. When driven from a 5 V logic supply, a current-limiting resistor of approximately 47 ohms per segment (for ~30 mA segment drive) should be used to prevent exceeding the 40 mA rating. For multiplexed drive schemes, peak current can be higher during the on-phase, but the average must remain within device thermal limits.
Which decoder or driver ICs are directly compatible with the HDSP-3903 common cathode configuration?
The HDSP-3903 common cathode architecture is directly compatible with BCD-to-7-segment decoder drivers such as the 74HC4511 (CMOS, active-high outputs) and the SN7447A (TTL, active-low for common anode, so a common cathode alternative like SN7448 is appropriate). The IC-compatible drive characteristic means no additional buffer or level-shift circuitry is needed when the supply voltage is 5 V and segment current is limited to 40 mA maximum per segment.
