They are available in 40-pin dual in-line plastic packages. A single pin controls the LED display brightness by setting a reference current through a variable resistor connected to VDD or to a separate supply of 13.2V maximum. ) s ( ct u d o r P e t e l o s b O REV. 2 April 2004 1/12 M5450, M5451 OUTPUT BIT 19 OUTPUT BIT 20 OUTPUT BIT 21 OUTPUT BIT 22 41 40 VSS N.C 1 42 OUTPUT BIT 17 2 OUTPUT BIT 18 OUTPUT BIT 16 3 43 OUTPUT BIT 15 4 44 OUTPUT BIT 14 5 36 OUTPUT BIT 22 OUTPUT BIT 13 7 39 OUTPUT BIT 23 OUTPUT BIT 13 6 35 OUTPUT BIT 23 OUTPUT BIT 12 8 38 OUTPUT BIT 24 OUTPUT BIT 12 7 34 OUTPUT BIT 24 OUTPUT BIT 11 9 37 OUTPUT BIT 25 OUTPUT BIT 11 8 33 OUTPUT BIT 25 OUTPUT BIT 10 10 36 OUTPUT BIT 26 OUTPUT BIT 9 11 35 OUTPUT BIT 27 OUTPUT BIT 10 9 32 OUTPUT BIT 26 N.C. 12 34 N.C.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Both the M5450 and the M5451 are specially designed to operate 4 or 5-digit alphanumeric displays with minimal interface with the display and the data source. Serial data transfer from the data source to the display driver is accomplished with 2 signals, serial data and clock. Using a format of a leading "1" followed by the 35 data bits allows data transfer without an additional load signal. The 35 data bits are latched after the 36th bit is complete, thus providing non-multiplexed, direct drive to the display. Outputs change only if the serial data bits differ from the previous time. Display brightness is determined by control of the output current LED displays. A 1nF capacitor should be connected to brightness control, pin 19, to prevent possible oscillations. A block diagram is shown in Figure 3. For the M5450 a DATA ENABLE is used instead of the 35th output. The DATA ENABLE input is a metal option for the M5450. The output current is typically 20 times greater than the current into pin 19, which is set by an external variable resistor. There is an internal limiting resistor of 400W nominal value. Figure 4 shows the input data format. A start bit of logical "1" precedes the 35 bits of data. At the 36th clock a LOAD signal is generated synchronously with the high state of the clock, which loads the 35 bits of the shift registers into the latches. At the low state of the clock a RESET signal is generated which clears all the shift registers for the next set of data. The shift registers are static ) s ( ct u d o r P e s b O t e l o c u d ) s t( master-slave configurations. There is no clear for the master portion of the first shift register, thus allowing continuous operation. There must be a complete set of 36 clocks or the shift registers will not clear. When power is first applied to the chip an internal power ON reset signal is generated which resets all registers and all latches. The START bit and the first clock return the chip to its normal operation. Bit 1 is the first bit following the start bit and it will appear on Pin 18. A logical "1" at the input will turn on the appropriate LED. Figure 5 shows the timing relationship between Data, Clock and DATA ENABLE. A max clock frequency of 0.5MHz is assumed. For applications where a lesser number of outputs are used, it is possible to either increase the current per output or operate the part at higher than 1V VOUT. The following equation can be used for calculations. Tj = [(VOUT) (ILED) (No. of segments) + (VDD × 7mA)] (124°C/W) + Tamb where : Tj = junction temperature (150°C max) VOUT = the voltage at the LED driver outputs ILED = the LED current 124°C/W = thermal coefficient of the package Tamb = ambient temperature The above equation was used to plot Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8. e t le o r P o s b O - 3/12 M5450, M5451 Table 2.

Figure 11- In the application R must be chosen taking into account the worst operating conditions. The total power dissipation of the IC depends, in a first approximation, only on the number of segments activated. Figure 12.

The total power dissipation of the IC depends only on the number of segments activated. e t le Figure 13. o s b O - The worst case condition for the device is when roughly half of the maximum number of segments are activated. It must be checked that the total power dissipation does not exceed the absolute maximum ratings of the device. In critical cases more resistors can be used in conjunction with groups of segments. In this case the current variation in the single resistor is reduced and Ptot limited. Figure 12 - In this configuration the drop on the serial connected diodes is quite stable if the diodes are properly chosen. ) s t( +VC VOUT +VD u d o r P e t e l o s b O 7/12 M5450, M5451 PART NUMBERING Table 3.
