ADDRESS INPUTS (A0-A4, pins 3-6, 10) Each location in memory has a distinct address. Address inputs (A 0 -A 2 ) select a specific location in the Character RAM, the Flash RAM or a particular row in the UDC (User-Defined Character) RAM. A 3-A 4 are used to select which section of memory is accessed. Table 1 shows the logic levels needed to access each section of memory. Table 1.

The CMOS IC consists of an 8 byte Character RAM, an 8 bit Flash RAM, a 128 character ASCII decoder, a 16 character UDC RAM, a UDC Address Register, a Control Word Register, and refresh circuitry necessary to synchronize the decoding and driving of eight 5 x 7 dot matrix characters. The major user-accessible portions of the display are listed below: Character RAM This RAM stores either ASCII character data or a UDC RAM address. Flash RAM This is a 1 x 8 RAM which stores Flash data. User-Defined Character RAM (UDC RAM) This RAM stores the dot pattern for custom characters. User-Defined Character Address Register (UDC Address Register) This register is used to provide the address to the UDC RAM when the user is writing or reading a custom character. Control Word Register This register allows the user to adjust the display brightness, flash individual characters, blink, self test, or clear the display. Character RAM Figure 2 shows the logic levels needed to access the HDSP-210X/-211X/-250X Character RAM. During a normal access, the CE = “0” and either RD = “0” or WR = “0.” However, erroneous data may be written into the Character RAM if the address lines are unstable when CE = “0” regardless of the logic levels of the RD or WR lines. Address lines A0-A2 are used to select the location in the Character RAM. Two types of data can be stored in each Character RAM location: an ASCII code or a UDC RAM address. Data bit D7 is used to differentiate between the ASCII character and a UDC RAM address. D7 = 0 enables the ASCII decoder and D7 = 1 enables the UDC RAM. D0D6 are used to input ASCII data and D0-D3 are used to input a UDC address.

Logic levels to access the character RAM. 11 UDC RAM and UDC Address Register Figure 3 shows the logic levels needed to access the UDC RAM and the UDC Address Register. The UDC Address Register is eight bits wide. The lower four bits (D0-D3) are used to select one of the 16 UDC locations. The upper four bits (D4-D7) are not used. Once the UDC address has been stored in the UDC Address Register, the UDC RAM can be accessed. To completely specify a 5 x 7 character, eight write cycles are required. One cycle is used to store the UDC RAM address in the UDC Address Register and seven cycles are used to store dot data in the UDC RAM. Data is entered by rows and one cycle is needed to access each row. Figure 4 shows the organization of a UDC character assuming the symbol to be stored is an “F.” A0-A2 are used to select the row to be accessed and D0-D4 are used to transmit the row dot data. The upper three bits (D5-D7) are ignored. D0 (least significant bit) corresponds to the right most column of the 5 x 7 matrix and D4 (most significant bit) corresponds to the left most column of the 5 x 7 matrix. Flash RAM Figure 5 shows the logic levels needed to access the Flash RAM. The Flash RAM has one bit associated with each location of the Character RAM. The Flash input is used to select the Flash RAM while address lines A3-A4 are ignored. Address lines A0-A2 are used to select the location in the Flash RAM to store the attribute. D0 is used to store or remove the flash attribute. D0 = “1” stores the attribute and D0 = “0” removes the attribute. When the attribute is enabled through bit 3 of the Control Word and a “1” is stored in the Flash RAM, the corresponding character will flash at approximately 2 Hz. The actual rate is dependent on the clock frequency. For an external clock the flash rate can be calculated by dividing the clock frequency by 28,672.

This 8-bit register performs five functions: Brightness control, Flash RAM control, Blinking, Self Test, and Clear. Each function is independent of the others; however, all bits are updated during each Control Word write cycle. Brightness (Bits 0-2) Bits 0-2 of the Control Word adjust the brightness of the display. Bits 0-2 are interpreted as a three bit binary code with code (000) corresponding to maximum brightness and code (111) corresponding to a blanked display. In addition to varying the display brightness, bits 0-2 also vary the average value of IDD. IDD can be calculated at any brightness level by multiplying the percent brightness level by the value of IDD at the 100% brightness level. These values of IDD are shown in Table 2. Flash Function (Bit 3) Bit 3 determines whether the flashing character attribute is on or off. When bit 3 is a“1,” the output of the Flash RAM is checked. If the content of a location in the Flash RAM is a “1,” the associated digit will flash at approximately 2 Hz. For an external clock, the blink rate can be calculated by driving the clock frequency by 28,672. If the flash enable bit of the Control Word is a “0,” the content of the Flash RAM is ignored. To use this function with multiple display systems, see the Display Reset section. Blink Function (Bit 4) Bit 4 of the Control Word is used to synchronize blinking of all eight digits of the display. When this bit is a “1” all eight digits of the display will blink at approximately 2 Hz. The actual rate is dependent on the clock frequency. For an external clock, the blink rate can be calculated by dividing the clock frequency by 28,672. This function will override the Flash function when it is active. To use this function with multiple display systems, see the Display Reset section.

Results of the internal self test are stored in bit 5 of the Control Word. Bit 5 is a read only bit where bit 5 = “1” indicates a passed self test and bit 5 = “0” indicates a failed self test. Setting bit 6 to a logic 1 will start the self test function. The built-in self test function of the IC consists of two internal routines which exercise major portions of the IC and illuminate all of the LEDs. The first routine cycles the ASCII decoder ROM through all states and performs a checksum on the output. If the checksum agrees with the correct value, bit 5 is set to “1.” The second routine provides a visual test of the LEDs using the drive circuitry. This is accomplished by writing checkered and inverse checkered patterns to the display. Each pattern is displayed for approximately 2 seconds. During the self test function the display must not be accessed. The time needed to execute the self test function is calculated by multiplying the clock period by 262,144. For example, assume a clock frequency of 58 KHz, then the time to execute the self test function frequency is equal to (262,144/58,000) = 4.5 second duration. At the end of the self test function, the Character RAM is loaded with blanks, the Control Word Register is set to zeros except for bit 5, the Flash RAM is cleared, and the UDC Address Register is set to all ones. Clear Function (Bit 7) Bit 7 of the Control Word will clear the Character RAM and the Flash RAM. Setting bit 7 to a “1” will start the clear function. Three clock cycles (110 ms minimum using the internal refresh clock) are required to complete the clear function. The display must not be accessed while the display is being cleared. When the clear function has been completed, bit 7 will be reset to a “0.” The ASCII character code for a space (20H) will be loaded into the Character RAM to blank the display and the Flash RAM will be loaded with “0”s. The UDC RAM, UDC Address Register, and the remainder of the Control Word are unaffected.

Logic levels to reset the display. 14 Display Reset Figure 7 shows the logic levels needed to Reset the display. The display should be Reset on Power-up. The external Reset clears the Character RAM, Flash RAM, Control Word and resets the internal counters. After the rising edge of the Reset signal, three clock cycles (110 µs minimum using the internal refresh clock) are required to complete the reset sequence. The display must not be accessed while the display is being reset. The ASCII Character code for a space (20H) will be loaded into the Character RAM to blank the display. The Flash RAM and Control Word Register are loaded with all “0”s. The UDC RAM and UDC Address Register are unaffected. All displays which operate with the same clock source must be simultaneously reset to synchronize the Flashing and Blinking functions. Mechanical and Electrical Considerations The HDSP-210X/-211X/‑250X are 28 pin dual-in-line packages with 26 external pins. The devices can be stacked horizontally and vertically to create arrays of any size. The HDSP-210X/-211X/-250X are designed to operate continuously from -45°C to +85°C with a maximum of 20 dots on per character at 5.25 V. Illuminating all thirty-five dots at full brightness is not recommended. The HDSP-210X/-211X/‑250X are assembled by die attaching and wire bonding 280 LED chips and a CMOS IC to a thermally conductive printed circuit board. A polycarbonate lens is placed over the PC board creating an air gap over the LED wire bonds. A protective cap creates an air gap over the CMOS IC. Backfill epoxy environmentally seals the display package. This package construction makes the display highly tolerant to temperature cycling and allows wave soldering. The inputs to the IC are protected against static discharge and input current latchup. However, for best results standard CMOS handling precautions should be used. Prior to use, the HDSP-210X/-211X/-250X should be stored in antistatic tubes or in conductive material. During assembly, a grounded conductive work area should be used, and assembly personnel should wear conductive wrist straps. Lab coats made of synthetic material should be avoided since they are prone to static buildup. Input current latchup is caused when the CMOS inputs are subjected to either a voltage below ground (VIN < ground) or to a voltage higher than VDD (VIN > VDD) and when a high current is forced into the input. To prevent input current latchup and ESD damage, unused inputs should be connected either to ground or to VDD. Voltages should not be applied to the inputs until VDD has been applied to the display. Thermal Considerations The HDSP-210X/-211X/-212X/250X have been designed to provide a low thermal resistance path for the CMOS IC to the 26 package pins. Heat is typically conducted through the traces of the printed circuit board to free air. For most applications no additional heatsinking is required. Measurements were made on a 32 character display string to determine the thermal resistance of the display assembly. Several display boards were constructed using 0.062 in. thick printed circuit material, and one ounce copper 0.020 in. traces. Some of the device pins were connected to a heatsink formed by etching a copper area on the printed circuit board surrounding the display. A maximally metallized printed circuit board was also evaluated. The junction temperature was measured for displays soldered directly to these PC boards, displays installed in sockets, and finally displays installed in sockets with a filter over the display to restrict airflow. The results of these thermal resistance measurements, RqJ-A are shown in Table 3 and include the effects of RqJ-C. Ground Connections Two ground pins are provided to keep the internal IC logic ground clean. The designer can, when necessary, route the analog ground for the LED drivers separately from the logic ground until an appropriate ground plane is available. On long interconnections between the display and the host system, the designer can keep voltage drops on the analog ground from affecting the display logic levels by isolating the two grounds. Soldering and Post Solder Cleaning Instructions for the HDSP-210X/-211X/‑250X The HDSP-210X/-211X/-250X may be hand soldered or wave soldered with SN63 solder. When hand soldering, it is recommended that an electronically temperature controlled and securely grounded soldering iron be used. For best results, the iron tip temperature should be set at 315°C (600°F). For wave soldering, a rosin-based RMA flux can be used. The solder wave temperature should be set at 245°C ± 5°C (473°F ± 9°F), and the dwell in the wave should be set between 11 /2 to 3 seconds for optimum soldering. The preheat temperature should not exceed 105°C (221°F) as measured on the solder side of the PC board. For additional information on soldering and post solder cleaning, see Application Note 1027, Soldering LED Components. Contrast Enhancement The objective of contrast enhancement is to provide good readability in a variety of ambient lighting conditions. For information on contrast enhancement see Application Note 1015, Contrast Enhancement Techniques for LED Displays. The logic ground should be connected to the same ground potential as the logic interface circuitry. The analog ground and the logic ground should be connected at a common ground which can withstand the current introduced by the switching LED drivers. When separate ground connections are used, the analog ground can vary from -0.3 V to +0.3 V with respect to the logic ground. Voltage below -0.3 V can cause all dots to be on. Voltage above +0.3 V can cause dimming and dot mismatch. Table 3.
