The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC.74LS47 BCD to 7-segment Decoder/Driver (Open Collector) has full ripple-blanking input/output controls and a lamp test input. patterns for BCD input counts above 9 are unique symbols to authenticate input conditions.
