The MC144898 is a flexible light-emitting-diode
driver which directly in-
terfaces to individual lamps, 7-segment displays, or various combinations of
both. LEOs wired with common cathodes are driven in a multiplexed-by-5
fashion. Communication with an MCUIMPU is established through a synchro-
nous serial port. The MC 144898 features data retention plus decode and scan
circuitry, thus relieving processor overhead. A single, current-setting resistor
is the only ancillary component required.
A single device can drive anyone of the following: a 5-digit display plus
decimals, a 4-112-digit display plus decimals and sign, or 25 lamps. A special
technique allows driving 5 112 digits; see Figure 16. A configuration register
allows the drive capability to be partitioned off to suit many additional applica-
tions. The on-chip decoder outputs 7-segment-format
numerals O to 9, hexa-
decimal characters A to F, plus 151etters and symbols.
The MC144898 is compatible with the Motorola SPI and National MI-
CRO-WIRETM serial data ports. The chip's patented 8itGrabberTM registers
augment the serial interface by allowing random access without steering or
address bits. A 24-bit transfer updates the display register. Changing the con-
figuration register requires an 8-bit transfer.

* Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occur.
Functional operation should be restricted to the limits in the Electrical Characteristics
tables or Pin Descriptions section.
MAXIMUM RATINGS*
(Voltages Referenced to VSS)
This device contains protection circuitry to
guard against damage due to high static volt-
ages or electric fields. However, precautions
must be taken to avoid applications of any volt-
age higher than maximum rated voltages to this
high–impedance circuit. For proper operation,
Vin and Vout should be constrained to the range
VSS
≤
(Vin or Vout)
≤
VDD.
Unused inputs must always be tied to an ap-
propriate logic voltage level (e.g., either VSS or
VDD). Unused outputs must be left open.

** For a high–speed 8–Clock access, th for Enable is determined as follows:
VDD = 3 to 4.5 V, fclk > 1.78 MHz: th = 4350 – (7500/fclk)
VDD = 4.5 to 5.5 V, f > 2.34 MHz: th = 3300 – (7500/fclk)
clk
where th is in ns and fclk is in MHz.
NOTES:
1. This restriction does NOT apply for fclk rates less than those listed above. For “slow” fclk rates, use the th limits in the above table.
2. This restriction does NOT apply for an access involving more than 8 Clocks. For > 8 Clocks, use the th limits in the above table.
