2：Description Of Parameter
The integrated circuit has a ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection circuit,

but it will still be damaged in some extreme conditions. The phenomenon of

electrostatic discharge may cause the entire chip does not work ,may also have some

adverse effects on the chip circuit, resulting in less than the expected results to our information.

Therefore, the use of time should be as far as possible to avoid direct contact with the hands of the

pin, to prevent the occurrence of ESD.

Tips: The circuit between the filter capacitor and the positive and negative poles of the chip
should be as short as possible.

Figure 4. Scanning mode

 Scanning in normal working condition：
 As shown above(Figure 4), the SDI1609 series driver digital tube in a certain order to
complete a scan.(GRID0、GRID1、GRID2、GRID3、GRID4、GRID5、GRID6、KEY)
 The scan time of each unit is 1 ms, and the full scan time is about 8 ms. Digital display
refresh rate and key scan frequency are 128 Hz.
 In each scanning time unit, floating the GRID, let seg0-seg7 in order to zero, and then
scan the corresponding 8 SEG (just floating when there is not zero SEG line)

 At The Sleep Time：

 When the oscillator is closed, stop scanning. The GRID float, Allow SEG0-SEG7 to
output 0.
 Key response when the machine is sleeping
When the machine is in a dormant state, it is still possible to respond to the data
transmission interface by reading the keys

3.4 Booster Module

 SDI1606 built-in boost module, which can be applied to two dry battery powered
solutions.
 Peripheral Device：
 4.7uH Power Inductors. The recommended saturation current should be
greater than 500mA, the resistance should be less than 1 ohms.
 The selection of the feedback resistor can be configured as internal partial
pressure (3.0V)or external partial voltage(Vo=0.6V* (R7+R8) /R8) resistance.

4：Specification of Interface

SDI1606 communicates with the outside via two lines(DIO,CLK)：

 In the data input, when the CLK is high, the signal on the DIO must remain unchanged;
only when the clock signal on the CLK is low, the signal on the DIN can be changed.
 Data input is always the first to transfer data low, and then transfer data high.
 When The CLK is high and The DIN is changed from high to low, the display driver
begins to communicate with the external.
 When The CLK is high and The DIN is changed from low to high, the display driver is
terminated with an external communication.

 Read the key process: As is shown in fig. 9a, In setting the read scanning command, the
Key data is ready,and then you can read the key data. As shown in fig. 9b, the SDI1606
after receiving the instruction of reading key scan mode, at the first falling edge clock
SCLK, the data port DIO will be set to high level, and then read the data from the DIO,
after reading the level is set to low level on the DIO, an effective data read operation is
completed.

5：Data Instruction

The data command is used to set the display mode and the status of the LED drive.
After the start bit of the instruction data is valid, the first byte of the data entered by DIN is
used as an instruction. The highest two bit bits of the decoded instruction data are used as
criteria for distinguishing different instructions.
