PT6961
DESCRIPTION
PT6961 is an LED Controller driven on a 1/7 to 1/8 duty factor. Eleven segment output lines, six grid
output lines, 1 segment/grid output lines, one display memory, control circuit, key scan circuit are all
incorporated into a single chip to build a highly reliable peripheral device for a single chip
microcomputer. Serial data is fed to PT6961 via a four-line serial interface. Housed in a 32-pin SOP,
PT6961 pin assignments and application circuit are optimized for easy PCB Layout and cost saving
advantages.

Description
Oscillator Input Pin
A resistor is connected to this pin to determine the
oscillation frequency
Data Output Pin (N-Channel, Open-Drain)
This pin outputs serial data at the falling edge of the
shift clock.
Data Input Pin
This pin inputs serial data at the rising edge of the
shift clock (starting from the lower bit)
Clock Input Pin
This pin reads serial data at the rising edge and
outputs data at the falling edge.
Serial Interface Strobe Pin
The data input after the STB has fallen is processed
as a command. When this pin is HIGH", CLK is
ignored.
Key Data Input Pins
The data sent to these pins are latched at the end
of the display cycle. (Internal Pull-Low Resistor)

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
COMMANDS
A command is the first byte (b0 to b7) inputted to PT6961 via the DIN Pin after STB Pin has changed
from HIGH to LOW State. If for some reason the STB Pin is set to HIGH while data or commands are
being transmitted, the serial communication is initialized, and the data/commands being transmitted
are considered invalid.
COMMANDS 1: DISPLAY MODE SETTING COMMANDS
PT6961 provides 2 display mode settings as shown in the diagram below: As stated earlier a command
is the first one byte (b0 to b7) transmitted to PT6961 via the DIN Pin when STB is LOW. However, for
these commands, the bit 3 to bit 6 (b2 to b5) are ignored, bit 7 & bit 8 (b6 to b7) are given
a value of 0.
The Display Mode Setting Commands determine the number of segments and grids to be used
(12 to 11 segments, 6 to 7 grids). A display command ON must be executed in order to resume display.
If the same mode setting is selected, no command execution is take place, therefore, nothing
happens.
When Power is turned ON, the 7-grid, 11-segment modes is selected.

COMMANDS 3: ADDRESS SETTING COMMANDS
Address Setting Commands are used to set the address of the display memory. The address is
considered valid if it has a value of 00H to 0DH. If the address is set to 0EH or higher, the data is
ignored until a valid address is set. When power is turned ON, the address is set at 00H.

SERIAL COMMUNICATION FORMAT
The following diagram shows the PT6961 serial communication format. The DOUT Pin is an N-channel,
open-drain output pin, therefore, it is highly recommended that an external pull-up resistor (1 KΩ to 10
KΩ) must be connected to DOUT.

APPLICATION CIRCUIT
Notes:
1. The capacitor (0.1µF) connected between the GND and the VDD pins must be located as close as
possible to the PT6961 chip.
2. It is strongly suggested that the NC pin (pins 13) be connected to the GND.
3. The PT6961 power supply is separate from the application system power supply.
