HV518
General Description
The HV518 is designed for vacuum fluorescent or DC plasma
applications, where it can serve as a segment, digit or matrix
display driver. Each device has 32 outputs, 32 latches and a
32-bit cascadable shift register.
Serial data enters the shift register on the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of the clock input. With latch enable (LE) HIGH,
parallel data is transferred to the output buffers through a
32-bit latch. When LE is low the data is stored in the latch.
When STROBE (STR) is LOW, all outputs are enabled; if
STROBE is HIGH, all outputs are LOW.
Applications
►
Vacuum flourescent displays
►
DC plasma displays

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the
device may occur. Functional operation under these conditions is not implied.
Continuous operation of the device at the absolute rating level may affect
device reliability. All voltages are referenced to GND.
Notes:
1. Duty cycle is limited by the total power dissipated in the package.
2. For operation above 25

Power-Up/ Power-Down Sequences
Power-up sequence should be the following:
1. Connect ground.
2.
Apply V
DD
.
3.
Set all inputs (Data, CLK, EN, etc.) to a known state.
4.
Apply V
PP
.

PP
should not drop below V
DD
or float during operation.
Power-down sequence should be the reverse of the above.
