DESCRIPTION

Operation description (Serial interface)

• Display data input

As described in the Data configuration section, the display data consists of the data field that corresponds to

each segment on/off and the command field that indicates the display data input.

When inputting the display data, the "F3" command is set in the command field. When the "F1" or "F2"

command is set in the command field, the display data in the data field becomes invalid.

The data input to the DATA pin is loaded to the shift register at the CLOCK pulse rise, transferred to the

display data latch during the LOAD pulse at the "H" level, then output via the segment driver.
