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 Package.

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, 20 mA max.) Serial Interface for Clock, Data Input, Data Output, Strobe Pins No External Resistors Needed for Driver Outputs Available in 44-pin LQFP Package

APPLICATIONS
Microcomputer Peripheral Devices
