Features ICM7211 (LCD)
Description
• Four Digit Non-Multiplexed 7 Segment LCD Display
Outputs with Backplane Driver
The ICM7211 (LCD) and ICM7212 (LED) devices constitute
a family of non-multiplexed four-digit seven-segment CMOS
display decoder-drivers.
• Complete Onboard RC Oscillator to Generate Backplane
Frequency
• Backplane Input/Output Allows Simple Synchronization
of Slave-Devices to a Master
• ICM7211 Devices Provide Separate Digit Select Inputs to
Accept Multiplexed BCD Input (Pinout and Functionally
Compatible with Siliconix DF411)
• ICM7211M Devices Provide Data and Digit Address
Latches Controlled by Chip Select Inputs to Provide a
Direct High Speed Processor Interface
• ICM7211 Decodes Binary to Hexadecimal; ICM7211A
Decodes Binary to Code B (0-9, Dash, E, H, L, P, Blank)
• ICM7211A Available in Surface Mount Package
Features ICM7212AM (LED)
• 28 Current-Limited Segment Outputs Provide 4-Digit
Non-Multiplexed Direct LED Drive at >5mA Per Segment
• Brightness Input Allows Direct Control of LED
Segment Current with a Single Potentiometer or
Digitally as a Display Enable
• ICM7212AM Device Provides Same Input Configuration
and Output Decoding Options as the ICM7211AM
The ICM7211 devices are configured to drive conventional
LCD displays by providing a complete RC oscillator, divider
chain, backplane driver, and 28 segment outputs.
The ICM7212 devices are configured to drive commonanode LED displays, providing 28 current-controlled, low
leakage, open-drain N-Channel outputs. These devices
provide a brightness input, which may be used at normal
logic levels as a display enable, or with a potentiometer as a
continuous display brightness control.
These devices are available with multiplexed or microprocessor input configurations. The multiplexed versions provide four
data inputs and four Digit Select inputs. This configuration is
suitable for interfacing with multiplexed BCD or binary output
devices, such as the ICM7217, ICM7226, and ICL7135. The
microprocessor versions provide data input latches and Digit
Address latches under control of high-speed Chip Select
inputs. These devices simplify the task of implementing a
cost-effective alphanumeric seven-segment display for microprocessor systems, without requiring extensive ROM or CPU
time for decoding and display updating.
The standard devices will provide two different decoder
configurations. The basic device will decode the four bit
binary inputs into a seven-segment alphanumeric hexadecimal output. The “A” versions will provide the “Code B” output
code, i.e., 0-9, dash, E, H, L, P, blank. Either device will correctly decode true BCD to seven-segment decimal outputs.

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, connecting any terminal to voltages greater than VDD or less than VSS may
cause destructive device latchup. For this reason, it is recommended that no inputs from external sources not operating on the same
power supply be applied to the device before its supply is established, and that in multiple supply systems, the supply to the ICM7211
and ICM7212 be turned on first.
2. θJA is measured with the component mounted on an evaluation PC board in free air.

LCD Devices
128 CYCLES
The LCD devices in the family (ICM7211, ICM7211A,
ICM7211M, ICM7211AM) provide outputs suitable for driving
conventional four-digit, seven-segment LCD displays. These
devices include 28 individual segment drivers, backplane
driver, and a self-contained oscillator and divider chain to
generate the backplane frequency.
The segment and backplane drivers each consist of a
CMOS inverter, with the N-Channel and P-Channel devices
ratioed to provide identical on resistances, and thus equal
rise and fall times. This eliminates any DC component, which
could arise from differing rise and fall times, and ensures
maximum display life.
The backplane output devices can be disabled by connecting the OSCillator input (pin 36) to VSS . This allows the 28
segment outputs to be synchronized directly to a signal input
at the BP terminal (pin 5). In this manner, several slave
devices may be cascaded to the backplane output of one
master device, or the backplane may be derived from an
external source. This allows the use of displays with characters in multiples of four and a single backplane. A slave
device represents a load of approximately 200pF (comparable to one additional segment). Thus the limitation of the
number of devices that can be slaved to one master device
backplane driver is the additional load represented by the
larger backplane of displays of more than four digits. A good
rule of thumb to observe in order to minimize power consumption is to keep the backplane rise and fall times less
than about 5µs. The backplane output driver should handle
the backplane to a display of 16 one-half inch characters. It
is recommended, if more than four devices are to be slaved
together, the backplane signal be derived externally and all
the ICM7211 devices be slaved to it. This external signal
should be capable of driving very large capacitive loads with
short (1 - 2µs) rise and fall times. The maximum frequency
for a backplane signal should be about 150Hz although this
may be too fast for optimum display response at lower display temperatures, depending on the display type.
The onboard oscillator is designed to free run at approximately 19kHz at microampere current levels. The oscillator
frequency is divided by 128 to provide the backplane frequency, which will be approximately 150Hz with the oscillator
free-running; the oscillator frequency may be reduced by
connecting an external capacitor between the OSCillator terminal and VDD .
The oscillator may also be overdriven if desired, although care
must be taken to ensure that the backplane driver is not disabled during the negative portion of the overdriving signal
(which could cause a DC component to the display). This can
be done by driving the OSCillator input between the positive
supply and a level out of the range where the backplane disable
is sensed (about one fifth of the supply voltage above VSS).
Another technique for overdriving the oscillator (with a signal
swinging the full supply) is to skew the duty cycle of the overdriving signal such that the negative portion has a duration
shorter than about one microsecond. The backplane disable
sensing circuit will not respond to signals of this duration.

LED Devices
The LED device in the family (ICM7212AM) provides outputs
suitable for directly driving four-digit, seven-segment
common-anode LED displays. These devices include 28
individual segment drivers, each consisting of a low-leakage,
current-controlled, open-drain, N-Channel transistor.
The drain current of these transistors can be controlled by
varying the voltage at the BRtrighTness input (pin 5). The voltage at this pin is transferred to the gates of the output devices
for “on” segments, and thus directly modulates the transistor’s
“on” resistance. A brightness control can be easily implemented with a single potentiometer controlling the voltage at
pin 5, connected as in Figure 9. The potentiometer should be
a high value (100kΩ to 1MΩ) to minimize power consumption,
which can be significant when the display is off.

BRIGHTNESS
PIN 5
FIGURE 9. BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
The brightness input may also be operated digitally as a display enable; when high, the display is fully on, and low fully
off. The display brightness may also be controlled by varying
the duty cycle of a signal swinging between the two voltages
at the brightness input.
Note that the LED device has two connections for VSS ; both
of these pins should be connected. The double connection is
necessary to minimize effects of bond wire resistance with
the large total display currents possible.
When operating LED devices at higher temperatures and/or
higher supply voltages, the device power dissipation may
need to be reduced to prevent excessive chip temperatures.
The maximum power dissipation is 1W at 25oC, derated linearly above 35oC to 500mW at 70oC (-15mW/ oC above
35oC). Power dissipation for the device is given by:
P = (VSUPP - VFLED)(lSEG)(nSEG)
where VFLED is the LED forward voltage drop, ISEG is
segment current, and nSEG is the number of “on” segments.
It is recommended that if the device is to be operated at
9-14
ICM7211, ICM7212
elevated temperatures the segment current be limited by use
of the brightness input to keep power dissipation within the
limits described above.
Input Configurations and Output Codes
The standard devices in the ICM7211 and ICM7212 family
accept a four-bit true binary (i.e., positive level = logical one)
input at pins 27 thru 30, least significant bit at pin 27 ascending to the most significant bit at pin 30. The ICM7211 and
ICM7211M devices decode this binary input into a sevensegment alphanumeric hexadecimal output, while the
ICM7211A, ICM7211AM, and ICM7212AM decode the
binary input into seven-segment alphanumeric “Code B” output, i.e., 0-9, dash, E, H, L, P, blank. These codes are shown
explicitly in Table 1. Either decoder option will correctly
decode true BCD to a seven-segment decimal output.

These devices are actually mask-programmable to provide
any 16 combinations of the seven segment outputs decoded
from the four input bits. For large quantity orders custom
decoder options can be arranged. Contact the factory for
details.
The ICM7211 and ICM7211A devices are designed to accept
multiplexed binary or BCD input. These devices provide four
separate digit lines (least significant digit at pin 31 ascending
to most significant digit at pin 34), each of which when taken
to a positive level decodes and stores in the output latches of
its respective digit the character corresponding to the data at
the input port, pins 27 through 30.
The ICM7211M, ICM7211AM, and ICM7212AM devices are
intended to accept data from a data bus under processor
control.
In these devices, the four data input bits and the two-bit digit
address (DA1 pin 31, DA2 pin 32) are written into input buffer
latches when both chip select inputs (CS1 pin 33, CS2 pin
34) are taken low. On the rising edge of either chip select
input, the content of the data input latches is decoded and
stored in the output latches of the digit selected by the contents of the digit address latches.
An address of 00 writes into D4, DA2 = 0, DA1 = 1 writes into
D3, DA2 = 1, DA1 = 0 writes into D2, and 11 writes into D1.
The timing relationships for inputting data are shown in
Figure 2, and the chip select pulse widths and data setup and
hold times are specified under Operating Characteristics.
