PT6315-S
DESCRIPTION
PT6315-S is a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) Controller driven on a 1/4 to 1/8 duty factor. Eight
segment output lines, 4 grid output lines, 4 segment/grid output drive 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 micro computer. Serial data is fed to PT6315-S via a three-line serial interface.
It is housed in a 28pins, SOP.

Serial Interface Strobe Pin The data input after the STB
has fallen is processed as a command. When this pin is

PT6315-S
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
COMMANDS
Commands determine the display mode and status of PT6315-S. A command is the first byte (b0 to b7)
inputted to PT6315-S 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.
COMMAND 1: DISPLAY MODE SETTING COMMANDS
PT6315-S provides 4 display mode settings as shown in the diagram below: As stated earlier a
command is the first one byte (b0 to b7) transmitted to PT6315-S via the DIN Pin when STB is “LOW”.
However, for these commands, the bits 5 to 6 (b4 to b5) are ignored, bits 7 & 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 (1/4 to
1/8 duty, 12 to 8 segments). When these commands are executed, the display is forcibly turned off, the
key scanning stops. A display “ON” command 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 8-digit, 8-segment mode is selected.

COMMAND 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 “1DH”. If the address is set to 1EH 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 PT6315-S 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
(1KΩ to 10KΩ) must be connected to DOUT.
