Summary Information*—Not Recommended for New Designs
General Description
Features
The MIC10951 Bargraph and Numeric Display Controller is
an LSI general purpose display controller designed to interface to bargraph and numeric displays (vacuum fluorescent
or LED).
The MIC10951 will drive 16-segment bargraph or 7-segment
plus comma and decimal numeric displays with up to 16
display positions. The controller accepts command and data
input words on a clocked serial input line. Commands control
the on/off duty cycle, starting character position, and number
of characters to display. Encoded data words display bargraph
position (single segment or increasing bar length), numbers,
comma, decimal, and selected upper and lower case letters.
No external drive circuitry is required for displays that operate
on 20mA of drive current up to 50V. A 64 × 16-bit segment
decoder provides character set decoding for the display.
