1/4- to 1/11-DUTY FIP
TM
(VFD) CONTROLLER/DRIVER
The
PD16312 is a FIP (fluorescent Indicator Panel, or Vacuum Fluorescent Display) controller/driver that is
driven on a 1/4- to 1/11 duty factor. It consists of 11 segment output lines, 6 grid output lines, 5 segment/grid output
drive lines, a display memory, a control circuit, and a key scan circuit. Serial data is input to the
PD16312 through a
three-line serial interface. This FIP controller/driver is ideal as a peripheral device for a single-chip microcomputer.
FEATURES
• Multiple display modes (11-segment & 11-digit to 16-segment & 4-digit)
• Key scanning (6
4 matrix)
• Dimming circuit (eight steps)
• High-voltage output (V
DD
35 V max).
• LED ports (4 chs., 20 mA max).
• General-purpose input port (4 bits)
• No external resistors necessary for driver outputs (P-ch open-drain + pull-down resistor output)
• Serial interface (CLK, STB, D
IN
, D
OUT
)

Description
Input serial data at rising edge of shift clock, starting from the low
order bit.
Output serial data at the falling edge of the shift clock, starting
from low order bit. This is N-ch open-drain output pin.
Initializes serial interface at the rising or falling edge of the
PD16312. It then waits for reception of a command. Data input
after STB has fallen is processed as a command. While
command data is processed, current processing is stopped, and
the serial interface is initialized. While STB is high, CLK is
ignored.
Reads serial data at the rising edge, and outputs data at the
falling edge.
Connect resistor to this pin to determine the oscillation frequency
to this pin.
