DESCRIPTION
Dimensions in Inches (mm)
These Programmable Displays are four digit display system modules. The characters are 0.20" by 0.14"
(PD243X), 0.27" by 0.20" (PD353X), and 0.45" by 0.27"
(PD443X) 5 x 7 dot matrix arrays constructed with the
latest solid state technology in light emitting diodes.
Driving and controlling the LED arrays is a silicon gate
CMOS integrated circuit. This integrated circuit provides
all necessary LED drivers and complete multiplexing
control logic.

Additionally, the IC has the necessary ROM to decode
128 ASCII alphanumeric characters and enough RAM to
store the display’s complete four digit ASCII message
with special attributes. These attributes, all software
programmable at the user’s discretion, include a lamp
test, brightness control, displaying cursors, alternating
cursors and characters, and flashing cursors or characters.
The CMOS IC also incorporates special interface control
circuitry to allow the user to control the module as a fully
supported microprocessor peripheral. The module,
under internal or external clock control, has asynchronous read, write, and memory clear over an eight bit parallel, TTL compatible, bi-directional data bus. Each
module is fully encapsulated within a package 1.0" x 0.7"
x 0.2" (PD253X), 1.4" x 0.72" x 0.285" (PD353X), and 1.5"
x 0.82" x 0.285" (PD443X). The standard 20 pin DIP construction with two rows spaced at 0.6" on 0.1" centers is
wave solderable.

Functional Description
The block diagram includes 5 major blocks and internal registers (indicated by dotted lines).
Display Memory consists of a 5 x 8 bit RAM block. Each of
the four 8-bit words holds 7-bits of ASCII data (bits D0–D6)
and an attribute select bit (Bit D6). The fifth 8-bit memory
word is used as a control word register. A detailed description
of the control register and its functions can be found in the
Control Word section. Each 8-bit word is addressable and can
be read from or written to.
The Control Logic dictates all of the features of the display
device and is discussed in the Control Word section of this
data sheet.
The Character Generator converts the 7-bit ASCII data into
the proper dot pattern for the 128 characters shown in the
character set chart.
The Clock Source can originate either from the internal oscillator clock or from an external source—usually from the output of
another display in a multiple module array.
The Display Multiplexer controls all display output to the digit
drivers so no additional logic is required for a display system.
The Column Drivers are connected directly to the display.
The Display has four digits. Each of the four digits is comprised of 35 LEDs in a 5 x 7 dot array which makes up the
alphanumeric characters.
Input Buffering
If a cable length of 6 inches or more is used, all inputs to the
display should be buffered with a tri-state non-inverting buffer
mounted as close to the display as conveniently possible. Recommended buffers are: 74LS245 for the data lines and
74LS244 for the control lines.

The intensity of the display can be varied by the Control Word
in steps of 0% (Blank), 25%, 50%, and full brightness.
The Reset pin when activated clears the internal counter. A reset
is usually done after power up and is of very short duration-nanoseconds or microseconds. If the reset pin is held low for a longer
time (milliseconds) some or all LEDs in the bottom row may light
up. The appearance of lit LEDs during a “reset” is not an indication of a malfunctioning part. It is advisable to keep the reset
pulse as short as possible to avoid displaying a row of lit LEDs.

Control Word
There are five registers within the display. Four of these registers are used to hold the ASCII/attribute code of the four display characters. The fifth register is the Control Word, which is
used to blink, blank, clear, or dim the entire display, or to
change the presentation (attributes) of individual characters.
When address bit A2 is taken low, the Control Word is
accessed. The same Control Word appears in all four of the
lower address spaces of the display. Through the Control Word,
the display can be cleared, the lamps can be tested, display
brightness can be selected, and attributes can be set for any
characters which have been loaded with their most significant
bit (D7) set high.
Addressing
The addresses within the display device are shown below. Digit
0 is the rightmost digit of the display, while digit 3 is on the left.
Although there is only one Control Word, it is duplicated at the
four address locations 0–3. Data can be read from any of these
locations. When one of these locations is written to, all of them
will change together.
Address
Brightness (D0, D1): The state of the lower two bits of the
Control Word are used to set the brightness of the entire display, from 0% to 100%. The table below shows the correspondence of these bits to the brightness.

Attributes (D2–D4): Bits D2, D3, and D4 control the visual
attributes (i.e., blinking) of those display digits which have been
written with bit D7 set high. In order to use any of the four
attributes, the Cursor Enable bit (D4 in the Control Word) must
be set. When the Cursor Enable bit is set, and bit D7 in a character location is set, the character will take on one of the following display attributes.
Bit D7 of any of the display digit locations is used to allow an
attribute to be assigned to that digit. The attributes are discussed in the next section. If Bit D7 is set to a one, that character will be displayed using the attribute. If bit D7 is cleared, the
character will display normally.

A second control word must be written into the chip with D7
reset (D7=0) to set up attributes and brightness levels.
Attributes are non-destructive. If a character with bit D7 set is
replaced by a cursor (Control Word bit D4 is set, and D3=D2=0)
the character will remain in memory and can be revealed again
by clearing D4 in the Control Word.
The SMC-4740 oscillator is designed to drive up to 16 displays
with input loading of 15 pF each.
The general requirements for cascading 16 displays are:
Blink (D5): The entire display can be caused to blink at a rate of
approximately 2.0 Hz by setting bit D5 in the Control Word. This
blinking is independent of the state of D7 in all character locations.
1. Determine the correct address for each display.
2. Tie CE0 to ground and use CE1 from an address.
To synchronize the blink rate in a bank of these devices, it is
necessary to tie all devices' clocks and resets together as
described in a later section of this data sheet.
3. Select one of the displays to provide the clock for the
other displays.
4. Tie CLKSEL to ground on other displays.
5. Use RST to synchronize the blinking between the displays.

How to Load Information Into the Display
Information loaded into the display can be either ASCII data or
Control Word data. The following procedure (see also Typical
Loading Sequence) will demonstrate a typical loading sequence
and the resulting visual display. The word STOP is used in all of
the following examples.
Step 7
Add Another Blinking Character
Step 8
Set the brightness level of the entire display to your
preference (example: 100%)
Into the left hand digit, load the hex code “D3”
which gives an “S” with the D7 bit added as a
control bit. The display should show “STOP”
with flashing “O” and a flashing “S.”
Load Four Characters
Alternate Character/Cursor Enable
Set Brightness
Step 1
Load enable blinking character into the control
word register. The display should show “STOP”
with a flashing “O”.
Step 2
Load an “S” in the left hand digit.
Step 3
Load a “T” in the next digit.
Step 4
Load an “O” in the next digit.
Load enable alternate character/cursor into the
control word register. The display now should show
“STOP” with the “O” and the “S” alternating
between the letter and cursor (all dots lit).
Step 5
Load a “P” in the right hand digit.
Initiate Four Character Blinking
Step 9
If you loaded the information correctly, the display
now should show the word “STOP.”
(Regardless of Control Bit setting)
Step 10
Blink a Single Character
Step 6
Load enable display blinking. The display now
should show the entire word “STOP” blinking.
Into the digit, second from the right, load the hex
code “CF,” which is the code for an “O” with the
D7 bit added as a control bit.
Note:
The “O” is the only digit which has the control bit (D7)
added to normal ASCII data.

Electrical and Mechanical Considerations
Power Down Sequence
The CMOS IC of the display is designed to provide resistance
to both Electrostatic Discharge Damage and Latch Up due to
voltage or current surges. Several precautions are strongly recommended to avoid overstressing these built-in safeguards.
1. Float all active signals by tri-stating the inputs to the display.
ESD Protection
These displays can be hand soldered with SN63 solder using a
grounded iron set to 260°C.
2. Turn off the power to the display.
Soldering Considerations
Display users should be careful to handle the devices consistent with Standard ESD protection procedures. Operators
should wear appropriate wrist, ankle or feet ground straps and
avoid clothing that collects static charges. Work surfaces, tools
and transport carriers that come into contact with unshielded
devices or assemblies should also be appropriately grounded.
Wave soldering is also possible following these conditions: Preheat that does not exceed 93°C on the solder side of the PC
board or a package surface temperature of 85°C. Water soluble
organic acid flux (except carboxylic acid) or rosin-based RMA
flux without alcohol can be used.
Wave temperature is 245°C ±5°C with a dwell between 1.5
seconds to 3.0 seconds. Exposure to the wave should not
exceed temperatures above 260°C, for 5 seconds at 0.063"
below the seating plane. The packages should not be
immersed in the wave.
Latch up Protection
Latch up is a condition that occurs in CMOS ICs after the input
protection diodes have been broken down. These diodes can
be reversed through several means:
VIN <GND, VIN >VCC + 0.5 V, or through excessive currents
forced on the inputs. When these situations exist, the IC may
develop the response of an SCR and begin conducting as much
as one amp through the VCC pin. This destructive condition will
persist (latched) until device failure or the device is turned off.
Voltage Transient Suppression
It has become common practice to provide 0.01 µF bypass
capacitors liberally in digital systems. Like other CMOS circuitry, the Intelligent Display controller chip has very low
power consumption and the usual 0.01 µF would be adequate
were it not for the LEDs. To prevent power supply transients,
capacitors with low inductance and high capacitance at high
frequencies are required. This suggests a solid tantalum or
ceramic disc for high frequency bypass. For multiple display
module systems distribute the bypass capacitors evenly, keeping capacitors as close to the power pins as possible. Use a
0.01 µF capacitor for each display module and a 22 µF for
every third display module.
The Voltage Transient Suppression Techniques and buffer interfaces for longer cable runs help considerably to prevent latch
conditions from occurring. Additionally, the following Power Up
and Power Down sequence should be observed.
Power up Sequence
1. Float all active signals by tri-stating inputs to displays.
2. Apply VCC and GND to the display.
3. Apply active signals to the displays by enabling all input
signals per application.

Post Solder Cleaning Procedures
Incandescent (with almost no green) or fluorescent (with
almost no red) lights do not have the flat spectral response of
sunlight. Plastic band-pass filters are inexpensive and effective
in optimizing contrast ratios. The PD2435/3535/4435 is high
efficiency red display and should be matched with a long
wavelength pass filter in the 570 nm to 590 nm range. The
PD2436/3536/4436 is a standard red display and should be
matched with a long wavelength pass filter in the 600 nm to
620 nm range. The PD2437/3537/4437 should be matched
with a yellow-green band-pass filter that peaks at 565 nm. For
displays of multiple colors, neutral density grey filters offer the
best compromise.
The least offensive cleaning solution is hot D.l. water (60°C) for
less than 15 minutes. Addition of mild saponifiers is acceptable.
Do not use commercial dishwasher detergents.
For faster cleaning, solvents may be used. Carefully choose the
solvents as some may chemically attack the package. Maximum exposure should not exceed two minutes at elevated
temperatures. Acceptable solvents are: TF (trichlorotrifluoroethane), TA, 111 Trichloroethane, and unheated acetone. (1)
Note:
1) Acceptable commercial solvents are: Basic TF Arklone P.
Genesolv D, Genesolv DA, BlacoTron TF, Blaco-Tron TA and,
Freon TA.
Additional contrast enhancement can be gained through shading the displays. Plastic band-pass filters with built-in louvers
offer the “next step up” in contrast improvement. Plastic filters
can be further improved with anti-reflective coatings to reduce
glare. The trade-off is “fuzzy” characters. Mounting the filters
close to the display reduces this effect. Care should be taken
not to overheat the plastic filters by allowing for proper air flow.
Do not use solvents containing alcohol, methanol, methylene
chloride, ethanol, TP35, TCM, TMC, TMS+, TE, and TES. Since
many commercial mixtures exist, you should contact your preferred solvent vendor for chemical composition information.
Some major solvent manufacturers are: Allied Chemical Corporation, Specialty Chemical Division, Morristown, NJ; BaronBlakeslee, Chicago, IL; Dow Chemical, Midland, Ml; E.l. DuPont
de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, DE.
Optimal filter enhancements for any condition can be gained
through the use of circular polarized, anti-reflective, band-pass
filters. The circular polarizing further enhances contrast by
reducing the light that travels through the filter and reflects back
off the display to less than 1%. Proper intensity selection of the
displays will allow 10,000 foot candle sunlight viewability.
For further information refer to Appnotes 18 and 19.
An alternative to soldering and cleaning the display modules is
to use sockets. Naturally, 20 pin DIP sockets 0.600" wide with
0.100" centers work well for single displays. Multiple display
assemblies are best handled by longer SIP sockets or DIP
sockets when available for uniform package alignment. Socket
manufacturers include: Aries Electronics, Inc., Frenchtown,
NJ; Garry Manufacturing, New Brunswick, NJ; RobinsonNugent, New Albany, IN; and Samtec Electronic Hardware,
New Albany, IN.
Several filter manufacturers supply quality filter materials.
Some of them are: Panelgraphic Corporation, W. Caldwell, NJ;
SGL Homalite, Wilmington, DE; 3M Company, Visual Products
Division, St. Paul, MN; Polaroid Corporation, Polarizer Division,
Cambridge, MA; Marks Polarized Corporation, Deer Park, NY;
Hoya Optics, Inc., Fremont, CA.
For further information refer to Appnote 22.
One last note on mounting filters: recessing display and bezel
assemblies is an inexpensive way to provide a shading effect in
overhead lighting situations. Several Bezel manufacturers are:
R.M.F. Products, Batavia, IL; Nobex Components, Griffith Plastic Corp., Burlingame, CA; Photo Chemical Products of California, Santa Monica, CA; I.E.E.Atlas, Van Nuys, CA.
Optical Considerations
The character heights of these displays allows readability up to
eight feet. Proper filter selection allows the user to build a display that can be used over this distance.
See Appnote 23.
Filters allow the user to enhance the contrast ratio between a
lit LED and the character background. This will maximize discrimination of different characters as perceived by the display
user. The only limitation is cost. So first consider the ambient
lighting environment to maximize the cost benefit ratio for
using filters.
