VFD Display Driving The display can directly drive VFD signals dynamically and does so at a 1/2 duty cycle rate. The clock will be displayed in a 24-hour format with the hours ranging from 0 to 23 and minutes from 00 to 59. If the most significant numeral is zero then the display will be extinguished. Two illumination level set pins, DIM1 and DIM2, are provided to give control over the display brightness level, as shown in the following table. Switch Pin Name · Grid and segment connections A single 7-segment display is shown below showing the illumination pattern for each numeral. A F E B G C D 7 -S e g m e n ts Operating mode Dim1 Dim2 L L f=256Hz, 1/2 duty (50% display) H L f=256Hz, 1/4 duty (25% display) L H f=256Hz, 1/8 duty (12.5% display) H H f=256Hz, 1/16 duty (6.25% display) Device Functions · Reset As the device is designed for clock applications, four 7-segment displays are required to display the correct time output. The connections for the grids and segments are shown below, however it should be noted that the fourth segment only requires two of its segments to be driven. Additionally it should be noted that the colon can also be illuminated. · Internal regulator G R 1 G R 2 3 a 4 a 4 d d ig it4 3 f 4 b 4 g 4 e Although the device is provided with an external reset pin A/C, the device will in fact reset itself when power is applied, eliminating the need for external reset components. The usual provision of an external capacitor is not required as an internal reset capacitor is integrated within the device. 4 c 3 e c o l 3 d 2 f 3 b 3 g 3 c d ig it3 2 e c o l c o lo n d ig it2 1 f 2 b 2 g 2 d An internal regulator function is also integrated within the device providing a stable voltage power supply source for the internal circuits. This allows the device to operate with a wide external power supply ranging from 4V to 18V. 1 a 2 a 2 c 1 e 1 b 1 g 1 d 1 c d ig it1 · Chatter removal The device contains circuits which are connected to input pins HS, MS and ZA to remove chatter of less than 31.25ms. Other Pin Functions The external reset pin A/C is used to reset the internal circuits of the device. When this pin is pulled low the device will be reset, when the pin is allowed to go high, via its internal pull-high resistor, then the display will indicate a ²0:00² output. · Oscillator The basic time base frequency for this device is determined by an external 4.194304MHz crystal. When an external crystal along with two small external capacitors are connected to the two oscillator XT pins, the internal oscillator circuit will ensure generation of the correct time base signals. The oscillation frequency, although determined by the external crystal frequency, will also be influenced by the external capacitors, the crystal inherent capacitance and the residual capacitance of the external PCB tracks. To ensure accurate frequency generation, the crystal specification should be carefully consulted and the external capacitors and crystal should be placed as close to the device as possible. The BLANK pin, if pulled low will extinguish the display. Note that during the time when the BLANK pin is low, the HS, MS and ZA pins will be automatically disabled by the device and have no function. The 64Hz pin allows monitoring of the system frequency to allow frequency adjustments to be executed. As the name suggests, this output pin will continuously output a frequency of 64Hz. Rev. 1.20 5 May 24, 2012 HT16566 minute value is presently less than 30 the only the second and minute values will be reset to zero and the hour value remain unchanged. However if the minute value is presently at a value of 30 or higher then when the zero adjustment function is executed, a carry will be implemented and the hour value will be incremented by one. The following table illustrates a few examples of this operation. Time Adjustment Operation · Hour/minute adjustment Both the minutes and hour displays can be adjusted separately or both together in a fast forward format. The hour set pin, HS, and the minutes set pin, MS, are used to make these adjustments. Both of these pins are connected to internal pull-high resistors. Each time one of these lines is pulled low, the respective hour or minute value will increment by one, also if the line is continuously held low then the respective value will increment automatically at a rate of 2Hz. Both values will increment together if both lines are pulled low simultaneously. Note that no carry functions will be implemented when either the hour or minute value overflows. Zero Adjust Examples Present Time · Zero adjustment A zero adjust function is also included within the device and is controlled by the ZA pin. This pin is connected to an internal pull-high resistor. Pulling this line low will reset both the internal minutes and seconds value, however the way in which the display is reset depends upon the present value of the display. If the After Zero Adjust Hr.
