Greetings,

I need electronic help :) As you will see, I am at my very early stage (like
some kernel...!)

I want to display a number on a digit (7-segment led), and I use a 74LS47
My digit is a "LTS-546AP" (common anode).

Here are the datasheets:

g f A a b------\      /e -|     |- GND (pin 8)
| | | | |      |      /d -|  7  |- A
---------      |      /c -|  4  |- D
|   _   |      \----- /b -|  L  |- /RBI

|  |_|  |             /g -|  4  |- /LT
|      *|             /f -|  7  |- C

| | | | |                 +-----+
e d A c *
1   3
    | (anode)
   +5V

What I want to do:

- connect 74LS47 pin 16 (Vcc) and LTS546AP pin 3 (anode) to TS-7200 +5V (LCD
  header)
- connect 74LS47 pin 8 (ground) to TS-7200 ground (LCD header)
- as partially drawn : pin a, b, c, d, e, f, g to 74LS47 /a, /b, /c, /d, 
/e, /f,
  /g
- connect 74LS47 pin 7, 1, 2 and 6 (A, B, C, D) to TS-7200 DIO header 
pin 1, 3,
  5 and 7 (DIO_08, DIO_09, DIO_10, DIO_11)

That sound too easy, my questions are :

- Should I need to put resistances between a,..,g => /a,...,/g, how 
many, why ?
  According to the datasheet, the 74LS47 can sink up to 15V. How many 
current is
  there on the pin /a when lit ?

- Should I need to put resistances between my DIO header and the 4 
inputs A, B,
  C, D ? My DIO can only source 4ma is that enough ?
  In the datasheet I don't understand this line :
  I       = On-State Current /a to /g : 24ma   <= ?????
   O (on)

- I am confused with TTL input, sometimes I read it is 0-5V and 
sometimes 0-3.3V ?

- Can I connect the ground (needed by the 74LS47) to the TS-7200 ground
  (DIO header and not LCD header), is it the same ground ?

- In the 7-segment datasheet, I don't understand this line :

  Peak Forward Current Per Segment      : 60 mA
  (1/10 Duty Cycle, 0.1ms Pulse Width)

  If all segment are lit, I will need 7*60 = 420mA ? That's quite much ?
  (read that the "5V power output pin on the LCD header has 750mA Poly-fuse
  to prevent excessive current)


Thanks by advance !
