So, since this uses the MC14511 driver, which was designed for LED
7-segment
displays, all I have to do is provide resistors to each element and rewire
for a common-cathode LED display, right?

Right.

A little clarification, please...

I'm all ready to start looking for a CC display, when I look at the data
sheet for MC14511BCP and it has example circuit hookups for both CC and CA.

I thought a driver output was for one or the other "gender", either CC or CA.


Am I reading this right? Can I use either without further need of other
configuration or circuitry? Seems too good to be true...

Thanks,
Dave
