8-Digit, Microprocessor-Compatible, LED
Display Decoder Driver
The Intersil ICM7228 display driver interfaces
microprocessors to an 8-digit, 7-segment, numeric LED
display. Included on chip are two types of 7-segment
decoder, multiplex scan circuitry, LED display segment
drivers, LED display digit drivers and an 8-byte static
memory as display RAM.
Data can be written to the ICM7228A and ICM7228B’s display
RAM in sequential 8-digit update or in single-digit update
format. Data is written to the ICM7228C display RAM in parallel
random access format. The ICM7228A and ICM7228C drive
common anode displays. The ICM7228B drives common
cathode displays. All versions can display the RAM data as
either Hexadecimal or Code B format. The ICM7228A and
ICM7228B incorporate a No Decode mode allowing each bit of
each digit's RAM word to drive individual display segments
resulting in independent control of all display segments. As a
result, bargraph and other irregular display segments and
formats can be driven directly by this chip.
The Intersil ICM7228 is an alternative to both the Maxim
ICM7218 and the Intersil ICM7218 display drivers. Notice that
the ICM7228A/B has an additional single digit access mode.
This could make the Intersil ICM7218A/B software incompatible
with ICM7228A/B operation.

*Pb-free PDIPs can be used for through hole wave solder
processing only. They are not intended for use in Reflow solder
processing applications.
CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTES:
1. Due to the SCR structure inherent in the CMOS process used to fabricate these devices, connecting any terminal to a voltage greater than VDD
or less then VSS may cause destructive device latchup. For this reason, it is recommended that no inputs row sources operating on a different
power supply be applied to the device before its own supply is established, and when using multiple supply systems the supply to the ICM7228
should be turned on first.
2. JA is measured with the component mounted on a low effective thermal conductivity test board in free air. See Tech Brief 379 for details.

Detailed Description
System Interfacing and Data Entry Modes,
ICM7228A and ICM7228B
The ICM7228A/B devices are compatible with the
architectures of most microprocessor systems. Their fast
switching characteristics makes it possible to access them as
a memory mapped I/O device with no wait state necessary in
most microcontroller systems. All the ICM7228A/B inputs,
including MODE, feature a 250ns minimum setup and 0ns
hold time with a 200ns minimum WRITE pulse. Input logic
levels are TTL and CMOS compatible. Figure 9 shows a
generic method of driving the ICM7228A/B from a
microprocessor bus. To the microprocessor, each device
appears to be 2 separate I/O locations; the Control Register
and the Display RAM. Selection between the two is
accomplished by the MODE input driven by address line A0.
Input data is placed on the lD0 - lD7 lines. The WRITE input
acts as both a device select and write cycle timing pulse. See
Figure 1 and Switching Specifications Table for write cycle
timing parameters.
The ICM7228A/B have three data entry modes: Control
Register update without RAM update, sequential 8-digit
update and single digit update. In all three modes a control
word is first written by pulsing the WRITE input while the
11
MODE input is high, thereby latching data into the Control
Register. The logic level of individual bits in the Control
Register select Shutdown, Decode/No Decode, Hex/Code B,
RAM bank A/B and Display RAM digit address as shown in
Tables 1 and 2.
The ICM7228A/B Display RAM is divided into 2 banks, called
bank A and B. When using the Hexadecimal or code B display
modes, these RAM banks can be selected separately. This
allows two separate sets of display data to be stored and
displayed alternately. Notice that the RAM bank selection is not
possible in No-Decode mode, this is because the display data
in the No-Decode mode has 8 bits, but in Decoded schemes
(Hex/Code B) is only 4 bits (lD0 - lD3 data). It should also be
mentioned that the decimal point is independent of selected
bank, a turned on decimal point will remain on for either bank.
Selection of the RAM banks is controlled by lD3 input. The lD3
logic level (during Control Register update) selects which bank
of the internal RAM to be written to and/or displayed.
Control Register Update without RAM Update
The Control Register can be updated without changing the
display data by a single pulse on the WRITE input, with MODE
high and DATA COMING low. If the display is being decoded
(Hex/Code B), then the value of lD3 determines which RAM
bank will be selected and displayed for all eight digits.
ICM7228
Sequential 8-Digit Update
Single Digit Update
The logic state of DATA COMING (lD7) is also latched during
a Control Register update. If the latched value of DATA
COMING (lD7) is high, the display becomes blanked and a
sequential 8-digit update is initiated. Display data can now
be written into RAM with 8 successive WRITE pulses,
starting with digit 1 and ending with digit 8 (See Figure 2).
After all 8 RAM locations have been written to, the display
turns on again and the new data is displayed. Additional
write pulses are ignored until a new Control Register update
is performed. All 8 digits are displayed in the format
(Hex/Code B or No Decode) specified by the control word
that preceded the 8 digit update. If a decoding scheme
(Hex/Code B) is to be used, the value of lD3 during the
control word update determines which RAM bank will be
written to.
In this mode each digit data in the display RAM can be updated
individually without changing the other display data. First, with
MODE input high, a control word is written to the Control
Register carrying the following information; DATA COMING
(lD7) low, the desired display format data on lD4 - lD6, the RAM
bank selected by lD3 (if decoding is selected) and the address
of the digit to be updated on data lines lD0 - lD2 (See Table 4).
A second write to the ICM7228A/B, this time with MODE input
low, transfers the data at the lD0 - lD7 inputs into the selected
digit’s RAM location. In single digit update mode, each
individual digit’s data can be specified independently for being
displayed in Decoded or No-Decode mode. For those digits
which decoding scheme (Hex/Code B) is selected, only one
can be effective at a time. Whenever a control word is written,
the specified decoding scheme will be applied to all those digits
which selected to be displayed in Decoded mode.

System Interfacing, ICM7228C
The ICM7228C is directly compatible with the architecture of
most microprocessor systems. Its fast switching
characteristics make it possible to access them as a memory
mapped I/O device with no wait state necessary in most
microcontroller systems. All the ICM7228C inputs, excluding
HEXA/CODE B/SHUTDOWN, feature a 250ns minimum
12
setup and 0ns hold time with a 200ns minimum WRITE pulse.
Input logic levels are TTL and CMOS compatible. Figure 10
shows a generic method of driving the ICM7228C from a
microprocessor bus. To the microprocessor, the 8 bytes of the
Display RAM appear to be 8 separate I/O locations. Loading
the ICM7228C is quite similar to a standard memory write
cycle. The address of the digit to be updated is placed on lines
DA0 - DA2, the data to be written is placed on lines ID0 - lD3
and ID7, then a low pulse on WRITE input will transfer the
data in. See Figure 3 and Switching Characteristics Table for
write cycle timing parameters.
The ICM7228C does not have any control register, and also
does not provide the No Decode display format. Hexadecimal
or Code B character selection and shutdown mode are directly
controlled through the three level input at Pin 9, which is
accordingly called HEXA/CODE B/SHUTDOWN. See Table 3
for input and output definitions of the ICM7228C.
ICM7228
TABLE 5. DISPLAY CHARACTER SETS (Continued)
Display Formats
The ICM7228A and ICM7228B have three possible display
formats; Hexadecimal, Code B and No Decode. Table 5
shows the character sets for the decode modes and their
corresponding input code.
INPUT DATA CODE
The display formats of the ICM7228A/B are selected by
writing data to bits ID4, ID5 and ID6 of the Control Register
(See Table 1 and 2 for input Definitions). Hexadecimal and
Code B data is entered via ID0-lD3 and ID7 controls the
decimal point.

The ICM7228C has only the Hexadecimal and Code B
character sets. The HEXA/CODE B/SHUTDOWN input, pin
9, requires a three level input. Pin 9 selects the Hexadecimal
format when pulled high, the Code B format when floating or
driven to mid-supply, and the shutdown mode when pulled
low (See Table 3). Table 5 also applies to the ICM7228C.
When shutdown, the ICM7228 enters a low power standby
mode typically consuming only 1A of supply current for the
ICM7228A/B and 2.5A for the ICM7228C. In this mode the
ICM7228 turns off the multiplex scan oscillator as well as the
digit and segment drivers. However, input data can still be
ICM7228
entered when in the shutdown mode. Data is retained in
memory even with the supply voltage as low as 2V.
The ICM7228A/B is shutdown by writing a control word with
Shutdown (lD4) low. The ICM7228C is put into shutdown
mode by driving pin 9, HEXA/CODE B/SHUTDOWN, low.
The ICM7228 operating current with the display blanked is
within 100A - 200A for all versions. All versions of the
ICM7228 can be blanked by writing Hex FF to all digits and
selecting Code B format. The ICM7228A and ICM7228B can
also be blanked by selecting No Decode mode and writing
Hex 80 to all digits (See Tables 5and 6).
Common Anode Display Drivers, ICM7228A and
ICM7228C
The common anode digit and segment driver output
schematics are shown in Figure 12. The common anode digit
driver output impedance is approximately 4. This provides a
nearly constant voltage to the display digits. Each digit has a
minimum of 200mA drive capability. The N-Channel segment
driver’s output impedance of 50 limits the segment current to
approximately 25mA peak current per segment. Both the
segment and digit outputs can directly drive the display,
current limiting resistors are not required.
Individual segment current is not significantly affected by
whether other segments are on or off. This is because the
segment driver output impedance is much higher than that of
the digit driver. This feature is important in bar graph
applications where each bar graph element should have the
same brightness, independent of the number of elements being
turned on.
ghosting (a faint display of data from previous digit
superimposed on the next digit). The interdigit blanking time
is 10s typical with a guaranteed 2s minimum. The
ICM7228 turns off both the digit drivers and the segment
drivers during the interdigit blanking period. The digit
multiplexing sequence is: D2, D5, D1, D7, D8, D6, D4 and
D3. A typical digit’s drive pulses are shown on Figure 4.
Due to the display multiplexing, the driving duty cycle for
each digit is 12% (100 x 1/8) This means the average current
for each segment is 1/8 of its peak current. This must be
considered while designing and selecting the displays.
Driving Larger Displays
If very high display brightness is desired, the ICM7228
display driver outputs can be externally buffered. Figures 14
thru 16 show how to drive either common anode or common
cathode displays using the ICM7228 and external driver
circuit for higher current displays.
Another method of increasing display currents is to connect
two digit outputs together and load the same data into both
digits. This drives the display with the same peak current,
but the average current doubles because each digit of the
display is on for twice as long, i.e., 1/4 duty cycle versus 1/8 .

Common Cathode Display Driver, ICM7228B
The common cathode digit and segment driver output
schematics are shown in Figure 13. The N-channel digit
drivers have an output impedance of approximately 15.
Each digit has a minimum of 50mA drive capability. The
segment drivers have an output impedance of approximately
100 with typically 10mA peak current drive for each
segment. The common cathode display driver output
currents are only 1/4 of the common anode display driver
currents. Therefore, the ICM7228A and ICM7228C common
anode display drivers are recommended for those
applications where high display brightness is desired. The
ICM7228B common cathode display driver is suitable for
driving bubble-lensed monolithic 7 segment displays. They
can also drive individual LED displays up to 0.3 inches in
height when high brightness is not required.
Display Multiplexing
Each digit of the ICM7228 is on for approximately 320s,
with a multiplexing frequency of approximately 390Hz. The
ICM7228 display drivers provide interdigit blanking. This
ensures that the segment information of the previous digit is
gone and the information of the next digit is stable before the
next digit is driven on. This is necessary to eliminate display

three functions: Hexadecimal display decoding, Code B
display decoding and shutdown mode. In many applications,
pin 9 will be left open or permanently wired to one state. When
pin 9 can not be permanently left in one state, the circuits
illustrated in Figure 17 can be used to drive this three level
