The HPDL-1414 has a character height of 2.85 mm (0.112"). The on-board CMOS IC contains memory, ASCII decoder, multiplexing circuitry and drivers. The monolithic LED characters are magnified by an immersion lens which increases both character size and luminous intensity. The encapsulated dualin-line package provides a rugged, environmentally sealed unit. The HPDL-1414 incorporates many improvements over competitive products. It has a wide operating temperature range, very fast IC access time, and improved ESD protection. The displays are also fully TTL compatible, wave solderable, and highly reliable. These displays are ideally suited for industrial and commercial applications where a good-looking, easy-to-use alphanumeric display is required.

It consists of two parts: the display LEDs and the CMOS IC. The CMOS IC consists of a four-word ASCII memory, a 64-word character generator, 17 segment drivers, four digit drivers, and the scanning circuitry necessary to multiplex the four monolithic LED characters. In normal operation, the divide-by-four counter sequentially accesses each of the four RAM locations and simultaneously enables the appropriate display digit driver. The output of the RAM is decoded by the character generator which, in turn, enables the appropriate display segment drivers. Sevenbit ASCII data is stored in RAM. Since the display uses a 64character decoder, half of the possible 128 input combinations are invalid. For each display location where D5 = D6 in the Figure 1. HPDL-1414 Internal Block Diagram. Figure 2. HPDL-1414 Write Truth Table. 6 ASCII RAM, the display character is blanked. Data Entry HPDL-1414 Figure 2 shows a truth table for the HPDL-1414. Data is loaded into the display through the DATA inputs (D6-D0), ADDRESS inputs (A1-A0), and WRITE (WR). After a character has been written to memory, the IC decodes the ASCII data, drives the display and refreshes it without any external hardware or software. Optical Considerations/ Contrast Enhancement The HPDL-1414 display uses a precision aspheric immersion lens to provide excellent readability and low off-axis distortion. The aspheric lens produces a magnified character height of 2.85 mm (0.112 in.) and a viewing angle of ± 40°. These features provide excellent readability at distances up to 1.5 metres (4 feet). Each display is tested for luminous intensity and marked with an intensity category on the side of the display package. To ensure intensity matching for multiple package applications, mixing intensity categories for a given panel is not recommended. The display is designed to provide maximum contrast when placed behind an appropriate contrast enhancement filter. For further information on contrast enhancement, see Application Note 1015. Mechanical and Electrical Considerations The HPDL-1414 is a dual in-line package that can be stacked horizontally and vertically to create arrays of any size. These displays are designed to operate continuously between –40°C to +85°C with a maximum of 10 segments on per digit. The HPDL-1414 is assembled by die attaching and wire bonding the four GaAsP/GaAs monolithic LED chips and the CMOS IC to a printed circuit board. An immersion lens is formed by placing the PC board assembly into a nylon lens filled with epoxy. Backfill epoxy environmentally seals the display package. This package construction provides the display with a high tolerance to temperature cycling. The inputs to the CMOS IC are protected against static discharge and input current latchup. However, for best results standard CMOS handling precautions should be used. Prior to use, the HPDL-1414 should be stored in anti-static tubes or conductive material. During assembly a grounded conductive work area should be used, and assembly personnel should wear conductive wrist straps. Lab coats made of synthetic material should be avoided since they are prone to static charge build-up. Input current latchup is caused when the CMOS inputs are subjected either to a voltage below ground (VIN < ground) or to a voltage higher than VDD (VIN > VDD) and when a high 7 current is forced into the input. To prevent input current latchup and ESD damage, unused inputs should be connected either to ground or to VDD. Voltages should not be applied to the inputs until VDD has been applied to the display. Transient input voltages should be eliminated. Soldering and Post Solder Cleaning Instructions The HPDL-1414 may be hand soldered or wave soldered with SN63 solder. Hand soldering may be safely performed only with an electronically temperaturecontrolled and securely grounded soldering iron. For best results, the iron tip temperature should be set at 315°C (600°F). For wave soldering, a rosin-based RMA flux can be used. The solder wave temperature should be 245°C ± 5°C (473°F ± 9°F), and the dwell in the wave should be set at 11/2 to 3 seconds for optimum soldering. Preheat temperature should not exceed 93°C (200°F) as measured on the solder side of the PC board.
