LED Driver IC
PT6964
DESCRIPTION
PT6964 is an LED Controller driven on a 1/5 to 1/8 duty factor. 10 segment output lines, 4 grid output
lines, 3 segment/ grid output 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
microcomputer. Serial data is fed to PT6964 via a three-line serial interface. Housed in a 28 pins SOP
Package, PT6964 pin assignments and application circuit are optimized for easy PCB Layout and cost
saving advantages.

Description
Pin No.
Oscillator Input Pin
A resistor is connected to this pin to determine the
1
oscillation frequency
Data Input Pin
This pin inputs serial data at the rising edge of the
2
shift clock (starting from the lower bit)
Data Output Pin (N-Channel, Open-Drain)
Clock Input Pin This pin reads serial data at the
3
rising edge and outputs data at the falling edge.
Serial Interface Strobe Pin
The data input after the STB has fallen is processed
4
as a command. When this pin is HIGH", CLK is
ignored.
Key Data Input Pins
The data sent to these pins are latched at the end
5, 6
of the display cycle. (Internal Pull-Low Resistor)

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
COMMANDS
A command is the first byte (b0 to b7) inputted to PT6964 via the DI/O 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.
COMMANDS 1: DISPLAY MODE SETTING COMMANDS
PT6964 provides 2 display mode settings as shown in the diagram below: As stated earlier a
command is the first one byte (b0 to b7) transmitted to PT6964 via the DI/O Pin when STB is LOW.
However, for these commands, the bit 3 to bit 6 (b2 to b5) are ignored, bit 7 & bit 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
(10 to 13 segments, 7 to 4 grids). A display command ON must be executed in order to resume display.
If the same mode setting is selected, no command execution is take place, therefore, nothing
happens.
When Power is turned ON, the 7-grid, 10-segment modes is selected.
