DESCRIPTION

The SC16315 is a FIP (Fluorescent Indicator Panel, or Vacuum Fluorescent Display) controller/driver that is driven on a 1/4 or 1/12 duty factor. It has 16 segment outputs,4 grid outputs, 8 segment/grid outputs, a display memory, a control circuit, and a key scan circuit. Serial data comes from a three-line serial interface. This FIP controller/driver is ideal as a peripheral device for a single-chip microcomputer.



FEATURES

* Multiple display modes (16-segment & 12-dight to 24-segment & 4-digit).

* Key scanning (16x2 matrix).

* Dimming circuit (eight steps).

* High-voltage output (VDD – 35V max).

* LED ports (4 chs., 20 mA max).

* No external resistors necessary for driver outputs (P-ch open-drain

+ pull-down resistor output)

* Serial interface (CLK, STB, DIN, DOUT)



APPLICATIONS

* Microcomputer peripheral device
