They are accessed using the Flash Input, FL, and address lines, A3 and A4. All the listed RAMs and Registers may be read or written through the data bus. See Table 1. Each input pin is described in Pin Definitions. RST can be used to initialize display operation upon power up or during normal operation. When activated, RST will clear the Flash RAM and Control Word Register (00H) and reset the internal counter. All eight display memory locations will be set to 20H to show blanks in all digits. Five basic memory areas FL pin enables access to the Flash RAM. The Flash RAM will set (D0=1) or reset (D0=0) flashing of the character addressed by A0–A2. Character RAM Stores either ASCII (Katakana) character data or an UDC RAM address The 1x8 bit Control Word Register is loaded with attribute data if A3=0. Flash RAM 1x8 RAM which stores Flash data The Control Word Logic decodes attribute data for proper implementation. User-Defined Character RAM (UDC RAM) Stores dot pattern for custom characters Character ROM is designed for 128 ASCII characters. The ROM is Mask Programmable for custom fonts. User-Defined Address Register (UDC Address Register) Provides address to UDC RAM when user is writing or reading custom character The Clock Source could either be the internal oscillator (CLKSEL=1) of the device or an external clock (CLKSEL=0) could be an input from another HDSP211X display for the synchronization of blinking for multiple displays. Control Word Register Enables adjustment of display brightness, flash individual characters, blink, self test or clearing the display The Display Multiplexer controls the Row Drivers so no additional logic is required for a display system. The Display has eight digits. Each digit has 35 LEDs clustered into a 5x7 dot matrix. HDSP2110S/1S/2S/3S/4S/5S 7 Table 1. Memory selection FL A2 A3 Section of Memory A2–A0 Data Bits Used 0 X X Flash RAM Character Address D0 1 0 0 UDC Address Register Don’t Care D3–D0 1 0 1 UDC RAM Row Address D4–D0 1 1 1 Character RAM Character Address D7–D0 1 1 0 Control Word Register Don’t Care D7–D0 Theory of operation The character Flash Enable causes 2 Hz coming out of the counter to be ANDED with column drive signal and makes the column driver to cycle at 2 Hz. Thus the character flashes at 2 Hz. The HDSP211XS Programmable Display is designed to work with all major microprocessors. Data entry is via an eight bit parallel bus. Three bits of address route the data to the proper digit location in the RAM. Standard control signals like WR and CE allow the data to be written into the display. The display Blink works the same way as the Flash Enable but causes all twenty column drivers to cycle at 2 Hz thereby making all eight digits to blink at 2 Hz. D0–D7 data bits are used for both Character RAM and control word data input. A3 acts as the mode selector. The Self Test function of the IC consists of two internal routines which exercise major portions of the IC and illuminates all the LEDs. If A3=1, character RAM is selected. Then input data bit D7 will determine whether input data bits D0–D6 is ASCII coded data (D7=0) or UDC data (D7=1). See section on UDC Address Register and RAM. Clear bit clears the character RAM and writes a blank into the display memory. It however does not clear the control word. For normal operation FL pin should be held high. When FL is held low, Flash RAM is accessed to set character blinking. ASCII Data or Control Word Data can be written into the display at this point. For multiple display operation, CLK I/O must be properly selected. CLK I/O will output the internal clock if CLKSEL=1, or will allow input from an external clock if CLKSEL=0. The seven bit ASCII code is decoded by the Character ROM to generate Column data. Twenty columns worth of data is sent out each display cycle, and it takes fourteen display cycles to write into eight digits. Character RAM The rows are multiplexed in two sets of seven rows each. The internal timing and control logic synchronizes the turning on of rows and presentation of column data to assure proper display operation. The Character RAM is selected when FL, A4 and A3 are set to 1,1,1 during a read or write cycle. The Character RAM is a 8 by 8 bit RAM with each of the eight locations corresponding to a digit on the display. Digit 0 is on the left side of the display and digit 7 is on the right side of the display. Address lines, A2–A0 select the digit address with A2 being the most significant bit and A0 being the least significant bit. The two types of data stored in the Character RAM are the ASCII coded data and the UDC Address Data. The type of data stored in the Character RAM is determined by data bit, D7. If D7 is low, then ASCII coded data is stored in data bits D6–D0. If D7 is high, then UDC Address Data is stored in data bit D3–D0. Power Up Sequence Upon power up display will come on at random. Thus the display should be reset on power-up. The reset will clear the Flash RAM, Control Word Register and reset the internal counter. All the digits will show blanks and display brightness level will be 100%. The display must not be accessed until three clock pulses (110 µseconds minimum using the internal clock) after the rising edge of the reset line. The ASCII coded data is a 7 bit code used to select one of 128 ASCII characters permanently stored in the ASCII ROM. The UDC Address data is a 4 bit code used to select one of the UDC characters in the UDC RAM. There are up to 16 characters available. See Figure 8. Microprocessor interface The interface to a microprocessor is through the 8-bit data bus (D0–D7), the 4-bit address bus (A0–A3) and control lines FL, CE and WR. UDC Address Register and UDC RAM To write data (ASCII/Control Word) into the display CE should be held low, address and data signals stable and WR should be brought low. The data is written on the low to high transition of WR. The UDC Address Register and UDC RAM allows the user to generate and store up to 16 custom characters. Each custom character is defined in 5x7 dot matrix pattern. It takes 8 write cycles to define a custom character, one cycle to load the UDC Address Register and 7 cycles to define the character. The contents of the UDC Address Register will store the 4 bit address for one of the 16 UDC RAM locations. The UDC RAM is used to store the custom character. The Control Word is decoded by the Control Word Decode Logic. Each code has a different function. The code for display brightness changes the duty cycle for the column drivers. The peak LED current stays the same but the average LED current diminishes depending on the intensity level. HDSP2110S/1S/2S/3S/4S/5S 8 UDC Address Register Control Word The UDC Address Register is selected by setting FL=1, A4=0, A3=0. It is a 4 bit register and uses data bits, D3–D0 to store the 4 bit address code (D7–D4 are ignored). The address code selects one of 16 UDC RAM locations for custom character generation. The Control Word is used to set up the attributes required by the user. It is addressed by setting FL=1, A4=1, A3=0. The Control Word is an 8 bit register and is accessed using data bits, D7–D0. See Figures 12 and 13 for the logic and attributed control. The Control Word has 5 functions. They are brightness control, flashing character enable, blinking character enable, self test, and clear (Flash and Character RAMS only). UDC RAM The UDC RAM is selected by setting FL=1, A4=0, A3=1. The RAM is comprised of a 7x5 bit RAM. As shown in Figure 11, address lines, A2–A0 select one of the 7 rows of the custom character. Data bits, D4–D0 determine the 5 bits of column data in each row. Each data bit corresponds to a LED. If the data bit is high, then the LED is on. If the data bit is low, the LED is off. To create a character, each of the 7 rows of column data need to be defined. See Figures 9 and 10 for logic. Brightness Control Control Word bits, D2–D0, control the brightness of the display with a binary code of 000 being 100% brightness and 111 being display blank. See Figure 13 for brightness level versus binary code. The average ICC can be calculated by multiplying the 100% brightness level ICC value by the display’s brightness level. For example, a display set to 80% brightness with a 100% average ICC value of 200 mA will have an average ICC value of 200 mA x 80%=160 mA. Flash RAM The Flash RAM allows the display to flash one or more of the characters being displayed. The Flash Ram is accessed by setting FL low. A4 and A3 are ignored. The Flash RAM is a 8x1 bit RAM with each bit corresponding to a digit address. Digit 0 is on the left side of the display and digit 7 is on the right side of the display. Address lines, A2–A0 select the digit address with A2 being the most significant digit and A0 being the least significant digit. Data bit, D0, sets and resets the flash bit for each digit. When D0 is high, the flash bit is set and when D0 is low, It is reset. See Figure 11. Flash Function Control Word bit, D3, enables or disables the Flash Function. When D3 is 1, the Flash Function is enabled and any digit with its corresponding bit set in the Flash RAM will flash at approximately 2 Hz. When using an external clock, the flash rate can be determined by dividing the clock rate by 28,672. When D3 is 0, the Flash Function is disabled and the contents of the Flash RAM is ignored. For synchronized flashing on multiple displays, see the Reset Section. Figure 8.

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 time by 262,144 (typical time ≈ 4.6 sec.). At the end of the self test function, the Character RAM is loaded with blanks; the Control Word Register is set to zeroes except D5, and the Flash RAM is cleared and the UDC Address Register is set to all 1s. Control Word bit, D4, enables or disables the Blink Function. When D4 is 1, the Blink Function is enabled and all characters on the display will blink at approximately 2 Hz. The Blink Function will override the Flash Function if both functions are enabled. When D4 is 0, the Blink Function is disabled. When using an external clock, the blink rate can be determined by dividing the clock rate by 28,672. For synchronized blinking on multiple displays, see the Reset Section. Self Test Clear Function (see Figures 13 and 14) Before starting Self Test, Reset must first be activated. Control Word bits, D6 and D5, are used for the Self Test Function. When D6 is 1, the Self Test is initiated. Results of the Self Test are stored in bits D5. Control Word bit, D5, is a read only bit. When D5 is 1, Self Test passed is indicated. When D5 is 0, Self Test failed is indicated. The Self Test function of the IC consists of two internal routines which exercise major portions of the IC and illuminates all of the LEDs. The first routine cycles the ASCII decoder ROM through all states and performs a check sum on the output. If the check sum agrees with the correct value, D5 is set to a 1. Control Word bit, D7 clears the character RAM to 20 hex and the flash RAM to all zeroes. The RAMs are cleared within three clock cycles (110 µs minimum, using the internal clock) when D7 is set to 1. During the clear time the display must not be accessed. When the clear function is finished, bit 7 of the Control Word RAM will be reset to a “0”. Reset Function The display should be reset on power up of the display (RST=LOW). When the display is reset, the Character RAM, Flash RAM, and Control Word Register are cleared. Figure 10. UDC character map The display's internal counters are reset. Reset cycle takes three clock cycles (110 µseconds minimum using the internal clock). The display must not be accessed during this time.

Additionally, the LEDs may cause transients in the power supply line while they change display states. The common practice is to place a parallel combination of a .01 µF and a 22 µF capacitor between VCC and GND for all display packages. The least offensive cleaning solution is hot D.I. water (60°C) for less than 15 minutes. Addition of mild saponifiers is acceptable. Do not use commercial dishwasher detergents. For faster cleaning, solvents may be used. Exercise care in choosing solvents as some may chemically attack the nylon package. Maximum exposure should not exceed two minutes at elevated temperatures. Acceptable solvents are TF (trichorotrifluorethane), TA, 111 Trichloroethane, and unheated acetone.(1) ESD Protection The input protection structure of the HDSP211XS provides significant protection against ESD damage. It is capable of withstanding discharges greater than 2 KV. Take all the standard precautions, normal for CMOS components. These include properly grounding personnel, tools, tables, and transport carriers that come in contact with unshielded parts. If these conditions are not, or cannot be met, keep the leads of the device shorted together or the parts in antistatic packaging. Note: 1) Acceptable commercial solvents are: Basic TF, Arklone, P. Genesolv, D. Genesolv DA, Blaco-Tron TF, Blaco-Tron TA, and Freon TA. Unacceptable solvents contain alcohol, methanol, methylene chloride, ethanol, TP35, TCM, TMC, TMS+, TE, or TES. Since many commercial mixtures exist, contact a solvent vendor for chemical composition information. Some major solvent manufacturers are: Allied Chemical Corporation, Specialty Chemical Division, Morristown, NJ; Baron-Blakeslee, Chicago, IL; Dow Chemical, Midland, MI; E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, DE. Soldering Considerations The HDSP211XS can be hand soldered with SN63 solder using a grounded iron set to 260°C. Wave soldering is also possible following these conditions: Preheat that does not exceed 93°C on the solder side of the PC board or a package surface temperature of 85°C. Water soluble organic acid flux (except carboxylic acid) or resin-based RMA flux without alcohol can be used. For further information refer to Appnotes 18 and 19 in the current Siemens Optoelectronic Data Book. An alternative to soldering and cleaning the display modules is to use sockets. Naturally, 28 pin DIP sockets .600" wide with .100" centers work well for single displays. Multiple display assemblies are best handled by longer SIP sockets or DIP sockets when available for uniform package alignment. Socket manufacturers are Aries Electronics, Inc., Frenchtown, NJ; Garry Manufacturing, New Brunswick, NJ; Robinson-Nugent, New Albany, IN; and Samtec Electronic Hardward, New Albany, IN. Direct contact with alcohol or alcohol vapor will cause degradation of the package. Wave temperature of 245°C ± 5°C with a dwell between 1.5 sec. to 3.0 sec. Exposure to the wave should not exceed temperatures above 260°C for five seconds at 0.063" below the seating plane. The packages should not be immersed in the wave. For further information refer to Appnote 22 in the current Siemens Optoelectronic Data Book. HDSP2110S/1S/2S/3S/4S/5S 12 Optical Considerations The .200" high character of the HDSP211XS gives readability up to eight feet. Proper filter selection enhances readability over this distance. The trade-off is fuzzy characters. Mounting the filters close to the display reduces this effect. Take care not to overheat the plastic filter by allowing for proper air flow. Using filters emphasizes the contrast ratio between a lit LED and the character background. This will increase the discrimination of different characters. The only limitation is cost. Take into consideration the ambient lighting environment for the best cost/benefit ratio for filters. Optimal filter enhancements are gained by using circular polarized, anti-reflective, band-pass filters. The circular polarizing further enhances contrast by reducing the light that travels through the filter and reflects back off the display to less than 1%. Incandescent (with almost no green) or fluorescent (with almost no red) lights do not have the flat spectral response of sunlight. Plastic band-pass filters are an inexpensive and effective way to strengthen contrast ratios. The HDSP2110/2112S are red/high efficiency red displays and should be matched with long wavelength pass filter in the 570 nm to 590 nm range. The HDSP2113S should be matched with a yellow-green band-pass filter that peaks at 565 nm. For displays of multiple colors, neutral density grey filters offer the best compromise. Several filter manufacturers supply quality filter materials. Some of them are: Panelgraphic Corporation, W. Caldwell, NJ; SGL Homalite, Wilmington, DE; 3M Company, Visual Products Division, St. Paul, MN; Polaroid Corporation, Polarizer Division, Cambridge, MA; Marks Polarized Corporation, Deer Park, NY, Hoya Optics, Inc., Fremont, CA. One last note on mounting filters: recessing displays and bezel assemblies is an inexpensive way to provide a shading effect in overhead lighting situations. Several bezel manufacturers are: R.M.F. Products, Baklava, IL; Nobody Components, Griffith Plastic Corp., Burningly, CA; Photo Chemical Products of California, Santa Monica, CA; I.E.E.-Atlas, Van Nuys, CA. Additional contrast enhancement is gained by shading the displays. Plastic band-pass filters with built-in louvers offer the next step up in contrast improvement. Plastic filters can be improved further with anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare. HDSP2110S/1S/2S/3S/4S/5S 13
