Data input pin When this pin acts as input pin, serial data is inputted at the rising edge of the shift clock (starting from the lower bit) Serial interface strobe pin The data input after the STB has fallen is processed as a command. When this in is “HIGH”, CLK is ignored. Data output pin (N-channel, Open-drain) When this pin acts as output pin, serial data is outputted at the falling edge of the shift clock (starting from the lower bit) Key data input pins The data inputted to these pins is latched at the end of the display cycle. Oscillator input pin A resistor is connected to this pin to determine the oscillation frequency.
