Oki Electric Industry MSC1209
The MSC1209 is a Bi-CMOS display driver for a 1/2-duty vacuum fluorescent display tube. The MSC1209 consists of an 84-bit shift register, an 84-bit latch circuit, a 10-bit digital dimming circuit, 42-bit segment drivers, a 2-bit grid circuit, and a cascade control circuit. The MSC1209 is interfaced with a microcontroller by using three signal lines of LOAD, CLOCK, and DATA.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The cascaded MSC1209 ICs can share LOAD, CLOCK, and DATA.FEATURES
● Power supply voltage: 8V to 18V (Built-in 5V regulator for logic)● Operating temperature range: –40 to +105°C
● Driving 42 segments directly: VOH=VDD–0.5V at IOH=–3.0mA (VDD=15.0V)
● Built-in digital dimming circuit 10-bit resolution Programmable in the duty range of 0/2048 (0%) to 1016.5/2048 (49.6%)
● 3 interfaces with microcontroller: LOAD, CLOCK, DATA
● Cascade connection available (The cascaded MSC1209 ICs can share LOAD, CLOCK, and DATA.)
