DESCRIPTION
SC16313  is  a Vacuum  Fluorescent  Display  (VFD)  or  Fluorescent Indicator Panel (FIP) controller/driver that is driven on a 1/4 to 1/8 duty factor.  It  consists  of  8  segment  output  lines,  4  grid  output  lines,  4 segment/grid  output  lines,  one  display  memory,  control  circuit,  key scan  circuit.  Serial  data  is  input  to  SC16313  via  a  three-line serial interface.  This  VFD  driver  is ideal  as  a peripheral  device  of  a  single-chip microcomputer.

FEATURES
* CMOS technology
* High-voltage output
* Key scanning (8 x 2 matrix)
* Multiple display modes: (8 segments & 8 digits to 12 segments & 4 digits)
* 8-step dimming circuitry
* Serial interface (CLK, DIN, DOUT, STB)
* No external resistors needed for driver outputs

APPLICATIONS
* Microcomputer peripheral device.
