VFD Driver/Controller IC
PT6313-S
DESCRIPTION
PT6313-S is a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) Controller driven on a 1/4 to 1/8 duty factor. Eight
segment output lines, 4 grid output lines, 4 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 PT6313-S via a three-line serial interface.
It is housed in a 28pins, SOP.

Description
Clock Input Pin
This pin reads serial data at the rising edge and
outputs data at the falling edge.
Serial Interface Strobe Pin
The data input after the STB has fallen is
processed as a command. When this in is
“HIGH”, CLK is ignored.
Key Data Input Pins
The data inputted to these pins is latched at the
end of the display cycle.
Logic Ground Pin
Logic Power Supply
High-Voltage Segment Output Pins
Also acts as the Key Source.
Pull-Down Level
High-Voltage Segment Output Pins
High-Voltage Grid Output Pins
Oscillator Input Pin
A resistor is connected to this pin to determine
the oscillation frequency.
Data Output Pin (N-Channel, Open-Drain)
This pin outputs serial data at the falling edge of
the shift clock (starting from the lower bit).
Data Input Pin
This pin inputs serial data at the rising edge of
the shift clock (starting from the lower bit).

PT6313-S
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
COMMANDS
Commands determine the display mode and status of PT6313-S. A command is the first byte (b0 to b7)
inputted to PT6313-S via the DIN Pin after STB Pin has changed from “HIGH” to “LOW” State. If for
some reason the STB Pin is set to “HIGH” while data or commands are being transmitted, the serial
communication is initialized, and the data/commands being transmitted are considered invalid.
COMMAND 1: DISPLAY MODE SETTING COMMANDS
PT6313-S provides 4 display mode settings as shown in the diagram below: As stated earlier a
command is the first one byte (b0 to b7) transmitted to PT6313-S via the DIN Pin when STB is “LOW”.
However, for these commands, the bits 4 to 6 (b3 to b5) are ignored, bits 7 & 8 (b6 to b7) are given a
value of “0”.
The Display Mode Setting Commands determine the number of segments and grids to be used (1/4 to
1/8 duty, 12 to 8 segments).
When Power is turned “ON”, the 8-digit, 8-segment mode is selected.
