Description
The LTM-8500 series are 0.56 inch (14.22mm) numeric
display modules, and a built-in M5450 MOS integrated
circuits. The integrated circuit contains serial data input,
35 bits shift register. 34 LED driver output and a bright-
ness control.
The bright red yellow and green devices utilize LED
chips which are made from GaP on a transparent GaP
substrate. The red orange and high efficiency red de-
vices utilize LED chips which are made from GaAsP on
a transparent GaP substrate. The MOS integrated cir-
cuits are produced with N-channel silicon gate
technology.
Bright red displays have black face and red segments.
Green and yellow displays have gray face and white
segments. Red orange displays have orange face and
orange segments. High efficiency red displays have
red face and red segments.

Functional Description
Serial data transfer from the data source to the display driver is accomplished with 2 signals serial data and clock.
Using a format of a leading "1" followed by the 35 data bits allow data transfer without an additional load signal.
The 35 data bits are latched after the 36th bit is completed, thus providing non multiplexed, direct drive to the display.
Outputs change only if the serial data bits differ from the previous time.
Brightness of display is determined by control the output current of LED display. A 1nF capacitor should be connected
to brightness control, Pin 7 to prevent possible oscillations. The output current is typically 25 times greater than the
current into Pin 7 which is set by an external variable resistor. There is an internal limiting resistor of 400 nominal
value.
Figure 1 shows the input data format. A start bit of logical "1" preceed the 35 bits of data. At the 36th clock, a LOAD
signal is generated synchronously with the high state of the clock, which loads the 35 bits of the shift registers into
the latches. At the low state of the clock a RESET signal is generated which clears all the shift registers for the next
set of data . The shift registers are static master-slave configuration. There is no clear for master portion of the first
register, thus allowing continuous operation.
There must be a complete set of 36 clocks or the shift registers won't clear. When power is first applied to the chip,
an internal power ON, a reset signal is generated which reset all registers and all latches. The START bit and first
clock return the chip on its normal operation. Bit 1 is the first following the start bit and it will appear on the segment
A of the digit 1. A logical "1" at the input will turn on the appropriate LED. Figure 2 shows the timing relationship
between data, clock, and DATA ENABLE. A max. clock frequency of 0.5MHz is assumed.
