MOS INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
µPD6467
ON-SCREEN CHARACTER DISPLAY CMOS IC FOR 512-CHARACTER,
12-ROW, 28-COLUMN, CAMERA-CONTAINED VCR
The µPD6467 is a CMOS LSI for on-screen character display, and can be used in combination with a microcomputer
to display the tape counter, time, and date in the view finder of a video camera, or the time of a video tape, messages
such as dates on pictures, and channel number on a TV screen.
Characters are displayed in 12 (horizontal) by 18 (vertical) dots. Two or more characters can be combined to display
Kanji (Japanese characters) and symbols. This LSI supports color view finders and is provided with three sets of
character output signals (RGB output: for color view finder, VC1 output: for recording (or monitor pin), VC2 output: for
monitor pin (or recording)).
In addition, the µPD6467 is also equipped with a power-ON clear function and a video RAM batch clear command
so that it can mitigate the workload of the microcomputer.
The command format of this LSI is identical to that of the existing models, the µPD6461, 6462 and 6466, and
therefore, the µPD6467 is compatible with the existing models, and the software resources for the existing models
can be used.

(5)
Character color reversal
Black character
White character
Option B
Option C
specification selection
(6)
Function selection
Character blinking
Character left/right reversal
(7)
External clock frequency selection
×1 frequency mode
×2 frequency mode
(1) Dot clock
To select a dot clock for character display. If an external clock input is selected, refer to External Clock Input
in 6. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
(2) Vertical display start position
To select the setting accuracy of the vertical display start position of the character display area. In 3-row units,
the vertical display start position can be set more finely than in 9-row units.
(3) Pin selection
To select the setting of the output pins.
When RGB + VC1 + VC2 is selected, character signals are output from pins VR, VG, VB, VBLK, VC1, BLK1, VC2,
and BLK2. When RGB + 3BLK is selected, character signals are output from pins VR, VG, VB, RBLK, GBLK, BBLK,
VC1, and BLK1.
When RGB + VC1 + VC2 is selected with a video camera with a color view finder, colored characters can be
displayed in the view finder. When RGB + 3BLK is selected, character signals can be separated color
specification.
(4) Output selection
To set the output format of the character signal where the setting of the output pin is RGB + VC1 + VC2 (setting
the output format of the character signal is invalid where the setting of the output pin is RGB + 3BLK).
When an on-screen character display IC is used in a video camera, some items of information (such as date
and title) are displayed on the video tape, and the others (such as battery alarm, focus, and counter indication)
are only displayed in the view finder. The µPD6467 can select these items of information in row or half-row
units by using the output pin. Select the output format from three types: option A, option B, and option C (when
3BLK is selected, however, be sure to select option B).

µPD6467
(5) Character color reversal specification selection
To select the specifications when the character color is reversed (valid only for RGB output).
• Black character: Outputs an area with dots in black and prohibits framing.
• White character: Outputs an area with dots in white and prohibits framing.
(6) Function selection
To select either of the character blinking or character left/right reversal functions.
(7) External clock frequency selelction
The external clock frequency 2 divided function is built in the µPD6467.
• ×1 frequency mode: External clock frequency is not divided by 2 in the µPD6467.
• ×2 frequency mode: External clock frequency is divided by 2 in the µPD6467.
When the dot clock control bit (OSC) is “1 (External clock input)”, this function is able to use.
Example
If ×2 frequency mode is selected, and the external input frequency is 14 MHz, the internal dot clock
frequency is become to 7 MHz.
The default setting assumed on power application is as follows:
(1) Dot clock
= LC oscillation
(2) Vertical display start position
= 3-row unit
(3) Pin selection
= RGB + VC1 + VC2
(4) Output selection
= Option B
(5) Character color reversal specification selection = Black characters

1.3.4 Displaying characters specified by VC2
The characters specified by VC2 by the display character control command are not output to the RGB and VC1 output
channels (the RGB and VC1 output channels displayNote the same manner as when Display Off Data is written).
Therefore, even if a background is specified by the RGB and VC1 output channel (no background/filled background),
no background is displayed at the specified portion.

2. COMMAND
2.1 Command Format
Control commands can be serially input in 8-bit units. The word length of a command is variable.
Three types of commands are available: 1-byte commands that consist of 8 bits including the instruction and data,
2-byte commands, and 2-byte successive commands that can be input in an abbreviated form.
Inputting command data with the MSB first or LSB first can be selected by using the CMDCT pin.
When the CMDCT pin is high, the data is input with the MSB first; when it is low, the data is input with the LSB
first.

2.3 Power-ON Clear Function
Because the internal status of the IC is undefined on power application, execute power-ON clear by lowering the
PCL pin for the duration described below.
Command setting on power-ON clear is as follows:
• Clears test mode
• Default setting of initial status (Refer to 3.14 Initial Status Setting Command.)
• Clears all character data (12 rows, 28 columns) of video RAM (Display Off Data (FEH)). No data blinks.
• Video RAM write address (row 0, digit 0)
• Standard size for all rows as character size (SV1, SV0, SH1, SH0) = (0, 0, 0, 0)
• All rows specified for output pin selection (OD1, OD0) = (0, 0)
• Display OFF, LC oscillation ON, blinking OFF
• Display of each channel OFF
• No background and framing for all three channels
• Character color reversing OFF
• Character left and right reverse OFF
• Blue back OFF
• Low-order (0) bank for character address
• Output switch control is only SW1 = ON, others OFF (S3A, S3B, SW4, SW2, SW1) = (1, 0, 0, 0, 1)
The time required for power-ON clear can be calculated by the following expression. Do not input any command
during this time.
t (Time required for power-ON clearing) = tPCLLNote + Video RAM clear time
= 10 (µs) + 10 (µs) + 12/fOSC (MHz) × 336
= 10 (µs) + 10 (µs) + 24/fOSC2 (MHz) × 336
fOSC (MHz): LC oscillation frequency or external input clock frequency (when ×1 frequency mode
is selected)
fOSC2 (MHz): External input clock frequency (when ×2 frequency mode is selected)
Note
Refer to Power-ON Clear Specifications in 6. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
To clear the video RAM, the dot clock (OSCIN pin) must be input. Be sure to input the clock when the input of an
external clock is selected.

The following contents are set by the video RAM batch clear command.
• Clears all the character data (Display Off Data (FEH)) of the video RAM (12 rows, 28 columns). No data blinks.
• Video RAM write address: (Row 0, column 0)
• Standard size for all rows as character size (SV1, SV0, SH1, SH0) = (0, 0, 0, 0)
• All rows specified for output pin selection (OD1, OD0) = (0, 0)
• Display OFF, LC oscillation ON, blinking OFF
The time required for clearing the video RAM can be calculated by the following expression. Do not input any
command during this time.
t (Time required for video RAM clearing) = Video RAM clear time
= 10 (µs) + 12/fOSC (MHz) × 336
= 10 (µs) + 24/fOSC2 (MHz) × 336
fOSC (MHz): LC oscillation frequency or external input clock frequency (when ×1 frequency mode
is selected)
fOSC2 (MHz): External input clock frequency (when ×2 frequency mode is selected)
To clear the video RAM, the dot clock (OSCIN pin) must be input. Be sure to input the clock when the input of an
external clock is selected.
Remark This command resets the hardware of the IC by inputting a signal to the PCL pin. While initializing the
IC including clearing the video RAM and the test mode, the video RAM batch clear command executes
software reset to initialize the IC, and does not clear the test mode.

• Blinking control (screen units)
The function selected by the initial setting command is controlled.
• Blinking control (screen units)
Whether the characters written to the video RAM blink or not is controlled in screen units. The character
specified to blink by the display character control command blinks.
The blinking ratio is 1:1, and the blinking frequency can be selected from three types.
• Left to right reverse control
The character specified to be reversed left to right by the display character control command is reversed
(this is valid only if character left to right reverse is selected by the initial setting command).
Display example of character specified to be reversed left to right (character “F” is displayed)
When left to right reverse is OFF
When left to right reverse is ON
• LC oscillation control
The oscillation circuit can be turned ON/OFF by the oscillation control bit. Oscillation is stopped during the
period in which the characters are not displayed, to reduce the power consumption.
Nothing can be written to the video RAM while the oscillation is stopped. To write data to the video RAM,
be sure to turn ON oscillation.
24
Data Sheet S14455EJ2V0DS
µPD6467
Cautions 1. When LC oscillation is used : Oscillation is synchronized with Hsync when the
character display is ON, and is stopped while Hsync
is low. When character display is OFF, oscillation
continues regardless of Hsync.
2. When external clock is input : When an external clock is used, the clock is supplied
to the IC’s internal circuitry when oscillation is turned
ON. When oscillation is OFF, the clock supply to the
internal circuitry is stopped.
• Character display ON/OFF control
Character display output can be turned ON/OFF. The display is turned ON/OFF in synchronization with
the falling of Hsync.

If the low-order bank (0) is specified by the 8-bit data (the second byte of the display character control
command) of the character data, character addresses 00H through FFH (common addresses 000H through
0FFH) of the low-order (0) bank are specified. If the high-order bank (1) is specified, character addresses 00H
through FFH (common addresses 100H through 1FFH) of the high-order (1) bank are specified.
If FEH is specified at the character address of the display character control command for both banks, the
command can be used as the Display Off code. If FFH is specified, it can be used as a 2-byte successive
command end code.

• Framing control
Whether a character is framed is specified in screen units.
Framing: If the rightmost or leftmost dots of the dot matrix forming a character are used, the frame is
displayed in the adjacent character display area. If the rightmost or leftmost dots of the dot matrix
are not used, the frame is displayed on the left or the right of, above, or upper or lower left or
right of the character. Even when the top or bottom dot is used, framing does not overlap the
line above or below. Dots other than those at the top or bottom of the dot matrix are framed
vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.
Character dots
Framing
The size of the framing is fixed to one dot of the minimum size even if the character size changes.
• Background control
No background, blank background, or filled background can be selected in screen units. The background
color is selected by the background color/framing color control command.
No background
: Only character data is output.
Blank background : The background is displayed in the display area of the characters written to the video
RAM and the portion overlapping by one dot of the minimum size from the rightmost
and leftmost position of that area.
Filled background : In addition to the area where the background is displayed in the blank background
mode above, the background is displayed in the areas other than the character display
area.
• Background and frame display in the case of RGB + VC1 + VC2 output
The portion of the character for which VC2 is specified by the display character control command is not output
to the RGB and VC1 channels. Therefore, even if a background (blank background or filled background)
is specified for the RGB or VC1 output, no background is displayed in the VC2-specified area. In addition,
no background is displayed at the portion of the character other than those specified by VC2 in the case
of VC2 output (for the details of display of VC2-specified character area for RGB and VC1 output, refer to 1.3
Display with RGB + VC1 + VC2 Pins and 1.3.4 Displaying characters specified by VC2).
When RGB + RGB compatible BLK output is selected, only the background control bit of RGB output is valid,
and the background control bit of VC1 output and VC2 output is invalid (when RGB + RGB compatible BLK
output is selected, the VC2 output pin is not used. The VC1 channel outputs the logical sum of the RGB
output).

This command sets the information selected by a mask code option in the µPD6461 and 6462.
The default setting is as follows:
OSC
=0
: LC oscillation
VST
=0
: 3-row units
COC
=0
: RGB + VC1 + VC2
(OP1, OP0) = (0, 1) : Option B
RS
=0
: Black character
BR
=0
: Character blinks
ECK
=0
: External input clock ×1 frequency mode
3.15 Display Character Control Command
This command specifies the character data to be written to the video RAM, blinking data, and character color.
When inputting this command, turn ON LC oscillation (if the oscillation is OFF, characters cannot be written to the
video RAM).
This command is a 2-byte successive command. To write character data successively without changing the blinking
data, character color, and character address bank, the second character and those that follow can be input in the
abbreviated form by using only the low-order 8 bits (D7 through D0). In this case, the write column address is
automatically incremented (If a character is written to the 27th column, the next write address is automatically
incremented to column 0 (leftmost) on one row below. If characters have been written to the 27th column on the 11th
row, the next write address is automatically incremented to column 0 on row 0).

• Character specification
Specify the addresses of the 256 types of characters in each bank. Note, however, that addresses FEH
and FFH are respectively fixed to Display Off Data and a 2-byte successive command end code (these
addresses are also fixed when characters are changed by using a mask code option, and no characters
can be stored to these addresses). The design of the characters can be created by using a mask code
option.
• VC2 output specification
The character output from the VC2 pin can be specified in character units. The character specified by VC2
is not output from the RGB output or VC1 output channel (this specification is invalid when RGB + RGB
compatible BLK output selected).
• Blinking control (character units)Note
Whether the character written to the video RAM blinks is specified in character units. Blinking is turned
ON/OFF in screen units by using the character display control command (refer to 3.2 Display Control
Command).
• Left to right reverse character specificationNote
Left to right reverse can be turned ON/OFF in character units (this specification is valid when left and right
reverse is turned ON by the display control command).
Note
Character blinking or character left to right reverse, whichever selected by the initial setting
command, is valid.
• Character color control
A character color can be set in units of one character (valid for RGB output only. The color is fixed for the
VC1 and VC2 output).
• Character color reverse specification
It can be specified whether the color of a character can be reversed or not, in character units. Turning ON/
OFF the character color reverse is specified in screen units by the character color reverse ON/OFF
command (refer to 3.5 Character Color Reverse ON/OFF Command).

The 2-byte successive command writes characters to the video RAM. To successively write characters without
changing the blinking data, reverse specification data, and VC2 specification data, first transfer the first byte and then
transfer the second byte (character address).
To change the contents of the above data, change the contents of the data and then input the command from the
first byte after terminating the 2-byte successive command once (by either making CS high or transferring the 2-byte
successive command end code).
However, the command cannot be transferred successively across banks.
When the low-order bank is selected, the command can be transferred successively in a character address range
of 000H to 0FFH; when the high-order bank is selected, the character address range is from 100H to 1FFH.
It is recommended that characters that are frequently used be stored to both the high-order and low-order banks.
To write a character that across the banks, complete successive transfer once, and then transfer the command
from the first byte after changing the bank.

4.4 Successive Input of Command
Transfer each of the 1-byte, 2-byte, and 2-byte successive commands from a microcontroller to the µPD6467 as
follows.
To transfer a 1-byte or 2-byte command, or a 2-byte successive command with blinking data changed after a 2byte successive command has been transferred, either make CS high once, or transfer FFH (2-byte successive
command end code) at the end of the 2-byte successive command. In the latter case, it is not necessary to make
CS high.

5. CHARACTER PATTERNS
The µPD6467 can display 512 character patterns, including alphanumeric characters, Kanji characters, and
symbols, which are stored in the character generator ROM. Each pattern in the character generator ROM can be
modified by specifying a mask code option. However, the Display Off Data at character address FEH and 2-byte
continuous command end code at FFH cannot be modified because they are fixed in both high-order (1) and low-order
(0) banks. Therefore, no character pattern can be input at these addresses.
When none of the 12 × 18 dots are filled for a character pattern at addresses 000H to 0FDH and 100H to 1FDH,
the character pattern is called Blank Data. Character address FEH in both banks is called Display Off Data. Blank
Data and Display Off Data are represented in the same way (with no dots filled) in character patterns (of the
µPD6467GR-001) shown on the following pages, but they are different as follows:
Character Code
Display of Character Area in Each Background Mode
No background
Minimum background
Overall background
Blank Data
Displays image
Displays background
Displays background
Display Off Data
Displays image
Displays image only
(without background)
Displays image only
(without background)
You cannot specify Display Off Data for addresses other than FEH when using a mask code option. Blank Data,
however, can be specified at any address from 000H to 0FDH or 100H to 1FDH (address 0FFH and 1FFH cannot
be used because they are fixed to the 2-byte continuous command end code).
The character patterns of the µPD6467GR-001 (NEC’s standard model) are shown on the following pages.

Because the clock is not supplied to the internal circuitry during LC oscillation and Hsync, if Hsync is input
while the video RAM write command is executed, the width directly influences the execution time (1).
If Hsync is not input in the middle, the execution time is as (2) above.
Whether (1) or (2) is longer in time depending on the horizontal character size before and after Hsync and
Hsync width is not known. The longer time is the permissible minimum time.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES
1
PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
Note:
Strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and
ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity
as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control
must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using
insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported
in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement
tools including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using
wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need
to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor devices on it.
2
HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS
Note:
No connection for CMOS device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If no connection is provided
to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence
causing malfunction. CMOS devices behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels
of CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused
pin should be connected to V DD or GND with a resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of
being an output pin. All handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device and
related specifications governing the devices.
3
STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Note:
Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS device. Production process of MOS
does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the power source is
turned ON, the devices with reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does
not guarantee out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not initialized until the
reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for devices
having reset function.
