7-Segment 16-Digit or 16-Segment 6-Bargraph display Controller/Driver

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MSC1951-01 is a Bi-CMOS bargraph and alphanumeric display controller designed to interface with either vacuum fluorescent display. MSC1951-01 can drive displays with up to 16 figures with either 16 segment bargraph or sevensegment type code plus a decimal point and comma tail. MSC1951-01 adopts a serial interface system, which allows data transfer from the microcomputer only by two signal lines of SCLK and DATA.

FEATURES
Can display up to 16 digits of 7-segment type character with comma/point or of 16-segment type bargraph. The number of display digits is programmable within 16. The brightness adjustment is programmable by 1/32 step. The display contents can be changed at any digit. Buit-in PLA can display alphanumeric characters, e.g., 0 to 9 A, C, E, F, P, L (capital letters), b, and d (small letters). In addition, 16-segment dot display and bar display are allowed. Instruction is executed by one byte. Driver output Current : 20 mA max. (Digit) 10 mA (Segment), Plastic DIP 05 mA (Segment), Plastic QFP Withstand voltage : 58 V max. Can be used for LED. Pin compatible with 10951 manufactured by Rockwell. Power supply voltage : 5V 10% Package options: 40-pin plastic DIP (DIP40-P-600-2.54) (Product name : MSC1951-01RS) 44-pin plastic QFP (QFP44-P-910-0.80-K) (Product name : MSC1951-01GS-K)

Input of "H" level into this pin with the power turned on initializes this IC. The internal state after the initialization is as follows: 1) AD1 to AD16, SGA to SGP, TAIL and PNT output are in the off state. 2) The duty cycle is set to "0". 3) The digit counter value is set to 16 digits. 4) The buffer pointer is set to AD1. 5) Pin "A" is in the output mode. Usually used as an output mode, and outputs 1/5 of the internal oscillation frequency. In the test mode, operates as an input pin. Grid output pin The output configuration is an emitter follower. Segment output pin The output configuration is an emitter follower. Description

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MSB value of 8-bit serial data determines whether the input data into MSC1951-01 is control data or display data. Display Data By setting MSB = "0", the display data can be entered. The address of PLA and set values are specified by bit 5 to bit 0 following MSB. Tables 1 to 3 provide the PLA code table.
Command Display Data Description Set Display contents MSB LSB bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 0 X 25 24 23 22 21 20 X: Don't care

Control Data The control data can be input by setting MSB to "1". In addition, a command type and set values are determined by the bit 6 to bit 0 following MSB.

c) Duty Cycle Control This command sets the duty cycle of the driver output. This command allows the brightness to be adjusted by 1/32 step. As shown in Figure 1, the blank time between digits or between the segments is specified by 1 bit time on the hardware. Therefore, the set value ranges from 0 to 31.
