It utilizes the M5451 die packaged in a 20-pin plastic package copper frame, making it ideal for a 2-digit display. A single pin controls the LED display brightness by setting a reference current through a variable resistor connected either to VDD or to a separate supply of 13.2V maximum.

With a fixed resistor on the brightness input some variation in brightness will occur from one device to another. Absolute maximum for each output should be limited to 40 mA. The VO voltage should be regulated by the user. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The M5482 uses the M5451 die which is packaged to operate 2-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 for LED displays. A 1nF capacitor should be connected to brightness control, Pin 9, to prevent possible oscillations. A block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The output current is typically 20 times greater than the current into Pin 9, which is set by an external variable resistor. There is an internal limiting resistor of 400Ω nominal value. Figure 2 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.

The following equation can be used for calculations. Tj ≡ [(VOUT)(ILED)(no.of segments) + VDD . 7 mA] (80 °C/W) + Tamb where : Tj = junction temperature (150 °C max) VOUT = the voltage at the LED driver outputs ILED = the LED current 80 °C/W = thermal coefficient of the package Tamb = ambient temperature 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 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. Figure 3 shows the timing relationships between Data and Clock. A maximum clock frequency of 0.5 MHz is assumed. Figure 4 shows the Output Data Format for the M5482. Because it uses only 15 of the possible 35 outputs, 20 of the bits are "Don’t Cares". For applications where a lesser number of outputs are used it is possible to either increase the current Figure 3 DATA 300ns (min.) 5482-04.EPS CLOCK Figure 4 : Serial Data Bus / Outputs Correspondance 35 15 34 X 33 X 32 X 31 X 30 14 29 13 28 X 27 X 26 X 25 X 24 12 23 11 22 10 21 9 20 X 19 X 5451 5482 17 X 16 8 15 7 14 6 13 5 12 X 11 X 10 X 9 X 8 4 7 3 6 2 5 1 4 X 3 X 2 X 1 X 18 X START START START START 5482-03.TBL 5451 5482 TYPICAL APPLICATION BASIC electronically tuned TV system.

R is determined by the maximum number of segments activated. VC − VD MAX − VO MIN R= NMAX ⋅ ID 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. In this configuration the drop on the serial connected diodes is quite stable if the diodes are properly chosen. The total power dissipation of the IC is, in first approximation, depending only on the number of segments activated. c) +VC V OUT +V D 5482-08.EPS 5482-06.EPS V OUT In this configuration VOUT + VD is constant. The total power dissipation of the IC depends only on the number of segments activated. 5/6 M5482 I b1 L a1 PACKAGE MECHANICAL DATA 20 PINS - PLASTIC DIP B b Z e E Z e3 D 11 1 10 a1 B b b1 D E e e3 F i L Z Min. 0.254 1.39 Millimeters Typ.
