PT6314
DESCRIPTION
PT6314 is a VFD Controller/Driver IC utilizing CMOS technology providing 80 segment outputs and 24
grid outputs. It supports dot matrix displays of up to 16 columns x 2 lines, 20 columns x 2 lines or 24
columns x 2 lines. PT6314 also features a character generator ROM which stores 240 x 5 x 8 dos
characters. Pin assignments and application circuits are optimized for easy PCB layout and cost
saving advantages.

Reset Pin
When this pin is set to “0”, all internal registers and commands are
7
initialized. The Segment and Grid Outputs are fixed to VDD.
Test Pin
0 or floating : the Normal Operation Mode
8
1:the Test Mode is active
Display Line Select Pin
This pin is used to select the number of display lines when
the
9
Power is ON, Reset or Resetting.
0: 1 line is selected (N=”0”)*
1: 2 lines are selected (N=”1”)*
Duty Select Pin
These pins set the duty ratio. The duty ratio is determined by the
10, 11
number of Grid.
Read/Write (Write) Signal Pin
Under the M68 Parallel Data Transfer Mode (R/W), this pin functions as
the Data Transfer Select Pin.
0: Write Function 1: Read Function
12
Under the i80 parallel data Transfer Mode (/WR), this pin is Write
Enable Pin. It writes data at the rising edge of this signal.
Under the Serial Transfer Mode, the Read or Write function is selected
by instruction and this pin is connect to either “H” or “L”.
Register Select/Strobe Pin
Under the Parallel Transfer Mode is selected, this pin acts as the
Register Select Pin.
13
0:Instruction Register (IR) 1: Data register (DR)
Under Serial Data Transfer Mode, this pin acts as the Strobe Input Pin.
Enable (Read)/Shift Clock
Under the M68 Parallel Data Transfer Mode (E), this pin functions as
the Write Enable Pin. Data is written at the falling edge.
Under the i80 Parallel Data Transfer Mode (/RD), this pin functions as
14
the Read Enable Pin. When this pin is set to “LOW”, data is outputted to
the Data Bus.
Under the Serial Data Transfer Mode, this pin functions as the Shift
Clock Input Pin. Data is written at the rising edge.
