VFD Driver/Controller IC

PT6315

DESCRIPTION
PT6315 is a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) Controller driven on a 1/4 to 1/12 duty factor. Sixteen segment output lines, 4 grid output lines, 8 segment/grid output drive lines, one display memory, control circuit, key scan circuit are all incorporated into a single chip to build a highly reliable peripheral device for a single chip micro computer. Serial data is fed to PT6315 via a three-line serial interface. It is housed in a 44-pin LQFP.

FEATURES
CMOS Technology Low Power Consumption Key Scanning (16 x 2 matrix) Multiple Display Modes: (16 segments, 12 digits to 24 segments, 4 digits) 8-Step Dimming Circuitry LED Ports Provide (4 channels, 20mA max.) Serial Interface for Clock, Data Input, Data Output, Strobe Pins No External Resistors Needed for Driver Outputs Available in 44-pin LQFP

APPLICATIONS
Microcomputer Peripheral Devices
