Hi all
Can Anyone tell me if the CA3162E is compatible with the 74HC4511
Im talking about the 4 data lines that go from chip to chip. ABCD - 0123
Normaly the CA3162 is used with the CA3161 but I was hoping to us the
74HC4511 instead as Ive got loads of them.
The 74HC4511 uses Common Cathode displays but the CA3161 uses the Common
Anode types.
I've got lots of the CC type and that was another reason for wanting to use
this chip.

Would the data lines be inverted and need to be inverted to be compatible
with the display dirver IC.?

Ive so far not had much luck as Ive conected ABCD to 0123 but nothing lights
up. :-/
Would an inverter fix ths problem, or is the lines not connected correctly.?

Regards
Wombat.
