Counter/Decoder/Driver — what it does on the bench
The ICM7225IQH is a counter/decoder/driver IC from Analog Devices, designed to accept a count input and drive a seven-segment display or similar load directly — it integrates the counting, BCD decoding, and output drive in one package, saving board space versus a discrete counter plus decoder plus driver chain. Listed as active in production, so it remains available for new builds and legacy BOM support without a last-time-buy window to track.
RoHS non-compliant — plan for it
RoHS non-compliant per the manufacturer's own declaration — lead-bearing solder finish means this part cannot be used in assemblies that must ship under the RoHS exemption expiry without a waiver or a separate process step. For a BOM that requires full RoHS compliance, a pin-compatible alternative with a tin-based or matte-tin finish would need to be sourced — no second-source or successor is listed, so the qualification work falls on the design team.
