Display Internal Block
Diagram
Figure 1 shows the internal block
diagram of the HDSP-253X
display. The CMOS IC consists of
an 8 byte Character RAM, an 8 bit
Flash RAM, a 128 character ASCII
decoder, a 16 character UDC
RAM, a UDC Address Register, a
Control Word Register and the
refresh circuitry necessary to
synchronize the decoding and
driving of eight 5 x 7 dot matrix
characters. The major user
accessible portions of the display
are listed below:
Character RAM
This RAM stores either ASCII character data or a UDC RAM
address.
Flash RAM
This is a 1 x 8 RAM which stores Flash data.
User-Defined Character RAM
(UDC RAM)
This RAM stores the dot pattern for custom characters.
User-Defined Character
Address Register
(UDC Address Register)
This register is used to provide the address to the UDC RAM when
the user is writing or reading a custom character.
Control Word Register
This register allows the user to adjust the display brightness, flash
individual characters, blink, self test or clear the display.
Character Ram
Figure 2 shows the logic levels
needed to access the
HDSP-253X Character RAM.
During a normal access the CE =
“0” and either RD = “0” or WR =
“0”. However, erroneous data may
be written into the Character RAM
if the Address lines are unstable
when CE = “0” regardless of the
logic levels of the RD or WR lines.
Address lines A0-A2 are used to
select the location in the Character RAM. Two types of data can
be stored in each Character RAM
location: an ASCII code or a UDC
RAM address. Data bit D7 is used
to differentiate between the ASCII
character and a UDC RAM
address. D7 = 0 enables the ASCII
decoder and D7 = 1 enables the
UDC RAM. D0-D6 are used to
input ASCII data and D0-D3 are
used to input a UDC address.
Figure 2. Logic Levels to Access the Character RAM.
10
UDC RAM and UDC Address
Register
Figure 3 shows the logic levels
needed to access the UDC RAM
and the UDC Address Register.
The UDC Address Register is
eight bits wide. The lower four
bits (D0-D3) are used to select one
of the 16 UDC locations. The
upper four bits (D4-D7) are not
used. Once the UDC address has
been stored in the UDC Address
Register, the UDC RAM can be
accessed.
To completely specify a 5 x 7
character requires eight write
cycles. One cycle is used to store
the UDC RAM address in the UDC
Address Register. Seven cycles
are used to store dot data in the
UDC RAM. Data is entered by
rows. One cycle is needed to
access each row. Figure 4 shows
the organization of a UDC
character assuming the symbol to
be stored is an “F.” A0-A2 are used
to select the row to be accessed
and D0-D4 are used to transmit
the row dot data. The upper three
bits (D5-D7) are ignored. D0 (least
significant bit) corresponds to the
right most column of the 5 x 7
matrix and D4 (most significant
bit) corresponds to the left most
column of the 5 x 7 matrix.
Flash RAM
Figure 5 shows the logic levels
needed to access the Flash RAM.
The Flash RAM has one bit
associated with each location of
the Character RAM. The Flash
input is used to select the Flash
RAM. Address lines A3-A4 are
ignored. Address lines A0-A2 are
used to select the location in the
Flash RAM to store the attribute.
D0 is used to store or remove the
flash attribute. D0 = “1” stores
the attribute and D0 = “0”
removes the attribute.
Figure 3. Logic Levels to Access a UDC Character.
Figure 4. Data to Load ""F'' into the UDC RAM.
When the attribute is enabled
through bit 3 of the Control Word
and a “1” is stored in the Flash
RAM, the corresponding
character will flash at approxi-
mately 2 Hz. The actual rate is
dependent on the clock frequency.
For an external clock the flash
rate can be calculated by dividing
the clock frequency by 28,672.

Figure 5. Logic Levels to Access the Flash RAM.
Control Word Register
Figure 6 shows how to access the
Control Word Register. This is an
eight bit register which performs
five functions. They are
Brightness control, Flash RAM
control, Blinking, Self Test and
Clear. Each function is
independent of the others. However, all bits are updated during
each Control Word write cycle.
Brightness (Bits 0-2)
Bits 0-2 of the Control Word
adjust the brightness of the
display. Bits 0-2 are interpreted
as a three bit binary code with
code (000) corresponding to
maximum brightness and code
(111) corresponding to a blanked
display. In addition to varying the
display brightness, bits 0-2 also
vary the average value of IDD. IDD
can be calculated at any
brightness level by multiplying
the percent brightness level by
the value of IDD at the 100%
brightness level. These values of
IDD are shown in Table 2.
Flash Function (Bit 3)
Bit 3 determines whether the
flashing character attribute is on
or off. When bit 3 is a “1,” the
output of the Flash RAM is
checked. If the content of a location in the Flash RAM is a “1,” the
associated digit will flash at

approximately 2 Hz. For an
external clock, the blink rate can
be calculated by dividing the
clock frequency by 28,672. If the
flash enable bit of the Control
Word is a “0,” the content of the
Flash RAM is ignored. To use this
function with multiple display
systems see the Reset section.
Blink Function (Bit 4)
Bit 4 of the Control Word is used
to synchronize blinking of all
eight digits of the display. When
this bit is a “1” all eight digits of
the display will blink at approximately 2 Hz. The actual rate is
dependent on the clock frequency.
For an external clock, the blink
rate can be calculated by dividing
the clock frequency by 28,672.
This function will override the
Flash function when it is active.
To use this function with multiple
display systems see the Reset
section.
12
Self Test Function (Bits 5, 6)
Bit 6 of the Control Word Register is used to initiate the self test
function. Results of the internal
self test are stored in bit 5 of the
Control Word. Bit 5 is a read only
bit where bit 5 = “1” indicates a
passed self test and bit 5 = “0”
indicates a failed self test.
Setting bit 6 to a logic 1 will start
the self test function. The built-in
self test function of the IC
consists of two internal routines
which exercises major portions of
the IC and illuminates all of the
LEDs. The first routine cycles the
ASCII decoder ROM through all
states and performs a checksum
on the output. If the checksum
agrees with the correct value, bit
5 is set to “1.” The second routine
provides a visual test of the LEDs
using the drive circuitry. This is
accomplished by writing
checkered and inverse checkered
patterns to the display. Each
pattern is displayed for approximately 2 seconds.
During the self test function the
display must not be accessed. The
time needed to execute the self
test function is calculated by
multiplying the clock period by
262,144. For example, assume a
clock frequency of 58 KHz, then
the time to execute the self test
function frequency is equal to
(262,144/58,000) = 4.5 second
duration.
Clear Function (Bit 7)
Bit 7 of the Control Word will
clear the Character RAM and the
Flash RAM. Setting bit 7 to a “1”
will start the clear function. Three
clock cycles (110 µs min. using
the internal refresh clock) are
required to complete the clear
function. The display must not be
accessed while the display is
being cleared. When the clear
function has been completed, bit
7 will be reset to a “0.” The ASCII
character code for a space (20H)
will be loaded into the Character
RAM to blank the display and the
Flash RAM will be loaded with
“1”s. The UDC RAM, UDC
Address Register and the remainder of the Control Word are
unaffected.
blank the display. The Flash RAM
and Control Word Register are
loaded with all "0"s. The UDC
RAM and UDC Address Register
are unaffected. All displays which
operate with the same clock
source must be simultaneously
reset to synchronize the Flashing
and Blinking functions.
Display Reset
Figure 8 shows the proper
method to insert the display by
hand. To prevent damage to the
LED wire bonds, apply pressure
uniformly with fingers located at
both ends of the part. Using a
tool, shown in Figure 9, such as a
screwdriver or pliers to push the
display into the printed circuit
board or socket may damage the
LED wire bonds. The force
exerted by a screwdriver is
sufficient to push the lens into the
LED wire bonds. The bent wire
bonds cause shorts or opens that
result in catastrophic failure of
the LEDs.
Figure 7 shows the logic levels
needed to reset the display. The
display should be reset on Powerup. The external Reset clears the
Character RAM, Flash RAM,
Control Word and resets the
internal counters. After the rising
edge of the Reset signal, three
clock cycles (110 µs min. using
the internal refresh clock) are
required to complete the reset
sequence. The display must not
be accessed while the display is
being reset. The ASCII Character
code for a space (20H) will be
loaded into the Character RAM to
Mechanical
Considerations
The HDSP-253X is assembled by
die attaching and wire bonding
280 LED chips and a CMOS IC to
a thermally conductive printed
circuit board. A polycarbonate
lens placed over the pcb creates
an air gap over the LED wire
bonds. A backfill epoxy seals the
display package.
At the end of the self test function, the Character RAM is loaded
with blanks, the Control Word
Register is set to zeros except for
bit 5, and the Flash RAM is
cleared and the UDC Address
Register is set to all ones.

taneously at full brightness for 10
seconds at 25°C as a lamp test.
The IC has a maximum allowable
junction temperature of 150°C.
The IC junction temperature can
be calculated with the following
equation:
TJMAX = TA + (PD x RθJ-A)
Figure 8. Proper Method to Manually Insert a Display.
TJMAX is the maximum allowable
IC junction temperature.
TA is the ambient temperature
surrounding the display.
PD is the power dissipated by the
IC.
RθJ-A is the thermal resistance
from the IC through the display
package and printed circuit board
to the ambient.
A typical value for RθJ-A is
39°C/W. This value is typical for a
display mounted in a socket and
covered with a plastic filter. The
socket is soldered to a 0.062 in.
thick printed circuit board with
0.020 in. wide one-ounce copper
traces.
PD can be calculated as follows:
PD = VDD x IDD
VDD is the supply voltage and IDD
is the supply current.
VDD can vary from 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
IDD changes with VDD,
temperature, brightness level, and
number of on-pixels.

Thermal Considerations
The HDSP-253X can operate from
-40°C to +85°C. The display’s low
thermal resistance allows heat to
flow from the CMOS IC to the 24
package pins. Typically, this heat
is conducted through the printed
circuit board traces to free air.
For most applications, no
additional heatsinking is needed.
Illuminating all 280 LEDs
simultaneously at full brightness
is not recommended for continuous operation. However, all 280
LEDs can be illuminated simul-

IDD (#) is the supply current
using “#” as the displayed
character.
IDD(V) is the supply current using
“V” as the displayed character.
TJ is the IC junction temperature.
B is the percent brightness level.
N is the number of characters
illuminated.
Operation in high temperature
ambients may require power
derating or heatsinking. Figure 10
shows how to derate the power
for an HDSP-253X. You can
reduce the power by tighter
supply voltage regulation or
lowering the brightness level.
Table 3 shows the calculated
maximum allowable ambient
temperature for several different
sets of operating conditions. The
worst case alphanumeric
characters (#,@,B) have 20
pixels. Displaying eight 20-pixel
characters will not occur in
normal operation. Thus, using
eight 20-pixel characters to
calculate power dissipation will
over estimate the power and the
IC junction temperature. The
average number of pixels per
character, supply voltage,
brightness level, and number of
characters are needed to calculate
the power dissipated by the IC.
The ambient temperature, power
dissipated by the IC, and the
thermal resistance are then used
to calculate IC junction temperature. The typical alphanumeric
character is 15 pixels. For
conditions not listed in Table 3,
you can calculate the power
dissipated by the IC and use
Figure 10 to determine the
maximum ambient temperature.

Power Dissipation vs. Ambient
Temperature. TJMAX = 150 °C or

The actual IC temperature is easy to measure. Pin 17 is thermally and electrically connected to the IC
substrate. The thermal resistance from pin 17 to the IC is 16°C/W. The procedure to measure the IC junction
temperature is as follows:
1. Measure VDD and IDD for the display. Measure VDD between pins 15 and 16. Measure the current entering
pin 15.
2. Measure the temperature of pin 17 after 45 minutes. Use an electrically isolated thermal couple probe.
3. TJ(IC) = Tpin + VDD x IDD x 16°C/W.
Ground Connections
Two ground pins are provided to
keep the internal IC logic ground
clean. The designer can, when
necessary, route the analog
ground for the LED drivers
separately from the logic ground
until an appropriate ground plane
is available. On long interconnections between the display
and the host system, the designer
can keep voltage drops on the
analog ground from affecting the
display logic levels by isolating
the two grounds.
The logic ground should be connected to the same ground potential as the logic interface circuitry.
The analog ground and the logic
ground should be connected at a
common ground which can
withstand the current induced by
the switching LED drivers.
When separate ground
connections are used, the analog
ground can vary from -0.3 V to
+0.3 V with respect to the logic
ground. Voltage below -0.3 V can
cause all dots to be on. Voltage
above +0.3 V can cause dimming
and dot mismatch.
