PT6321 Fluorescent Display Tube Controller Driver DESCRIPTION FEATURES The PT6321 is a dot matrix fluorescent display tube controller driver IC which displays characters, numerics and symbols. Dot matrix fluorescent display tube drive signals are generated by serial data sent from a microcontroller. A display system is easily realized by internal ROM and RAM for character display. • Logic power supply(VDD): 3.3V±10% / 5.0V±10% • Fluorescent display tube drive power supply (VDISP): 20V~60V • VFD driver output current (VFD driver output can directly be connected to the fluorescent display tube. No pull-down resistor is required.) - Segment driver (SEG1 to SEG35): -5.0mA (VDISP=60V) - Segment driver (AD1 to AD4): -10.0mA (VDISP=60V) - Grid driver (COM1 to COM24): -20.0mA (VDISP=60V) • General output port output current - Output driver (P1-4): ±1.0mA (VDD=3.3V±10%) ±2.0mA (VDD=5.0V±10%) • Content of display - CGROM: 5x7 dots, 240 types (character data) - CGRAM: 5x7 dots, 16 types (character data) - ADRAM: 24 (display digit) x 4 bits (symbol data) - DCRAM: 24 (display digit) x 8 bits (register for character data display) - General output port: 4 bits (static mode) • Display control function - Display digit: 9 to 24 digits - Display duty (contrast adjustment): 8 stages - All lights ON/OFF • 3 interfaces with microcontroller: DA, /CS, /CP(4 interfaces if /RESET is added) • 1-byte instruction execution (excluding data write to RAM) • Built-in oscillation circuit (external C and R) 80-pin plastic LQFP (LQFP80-P-1414-0.65-K) Tel: 886-66296288‧Fax: 886-29174598‧ http://www.princeton.com.tw‧2F, 233-1, Baociao Road, Sindian, Taipei 23145, Taiwan PT6321 BLOCK DIAGRAM V1.1 2 April 2012 PT6321 APPLICATION CIRCUIT Notes: *1. The VDISP voltage depends on the fluorescent display tube used. Adjust the value of the constants R3 and ZD to the VDISP voltage used. *2. The value of R1 & C1 depend on PT6321 supply voltage of VDD (VDD=5V: R1=3.3KΩ, C1=47pF; VDD=3.3V: R1=3.3KΩ, C1=39pF) *3. R2=1KΩ, C2=0.1μF V1.1 3 April 2012 PT6321 ORDER INFORMATION Valid Part Number PT6321-LQ Package Type 80 Pins, LQFP Top Code PT6321-LQ PIN CONFIGURATION V1.1 4 April 2012 PT6321 IMPORTANT NOTICE Princeton Technology Corporation (PTC) reserves the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements, and other changes to its products and to discontinue any product without notice at any time.
