Description

The 3.3 V HCMS-39xx family is similar to the 5.0 V

HCMS-29xx family, except it operates at a lower operating

voltage. Package dimensions and pin outs are exactly the

same for both families. The product has been thoroughly

characterized and stringent reliability tested to ensure

that the product is of high quality.

Similar to the 5.0 V platform, this family product is a

high performance, easy to use dot matrix display driven

by on-board CMOS IC. Each display can be directly

interfaced with a microprocessor, thus eliminating the

need for cumbersome interface components. The serial

IC interface allows higher character count information

displays with a minimum of data lines. The easy to read

5x7 pixel format allows the display of upper case, lower

case, Katakana, and custom user-dened characters.

These displays are stackable in the x- and y-directions,

making them ideal for high character count displays.

Electrical Description Pin Function Description RESET (RST) Sets Control Register bits to logic low. The Dot Register contents are unaffected by the Reset pin. (logic low = reset; logic high = normal operation). DATA IN (DIN) Serial Data input for Dot or Control Register data. Data is entered on the rising edge of the Clock input. DATA OUT (DOUT ) Serial Data output for Dot or Control Register data. This pin is used for cascading multiple displays.

Display Overview logic high. The HCMS-39XX series is a family of LED displays driven by on-board CMOS ICs. The LEDs are configured as 5x7 font characters and are driven in groups of 4 characters per IC. Each IC consists of a 160-bit shift register (the Dot Register), two 7-bit Control Words, and refresh circuitry. The Dot Register contents are mapped on a one-to-one basis to the display. Thus, an individual Dot Register bit uniquely controls a single LED.

Serial/Simultaneous Data Output D0 Bits D2-D6 Bit D0 of control word 1 is used to switch the mode of DOUT between serial and simultaneous data entry during Control Register writes. The default mode (logic low) is the serial DOUT mode. In serial mode, DOUT is connected to the last bit (D7) of the Control Shift Register. These bits must always be programmed to logic low. Storing logic high to bit D0 changes DOUT to simultaneous mode, which affects the Control Register only.

The display IC has a maximum junction temperature of 150° C. The IC junction temperature can be calculated with Equation 1 in Table 3. A typical value for RθJA is 100°C/ W. This value is typical for a display mounted in a socket and covered with a plastic filter. The socket is soldered to a 0.

Appendix B. Electrical Considerations Current Calculations The peak and average display current requirements have a significant impact on power supply selection. The maximum peak current is calculated with Equation 3 in Table 3. The average current required by the display can be calculated with Equation 4 in Table 3. The power supply has to be able to supply IPEAK transients and supply ILED (AVG) continuously.

Appendix C. Oscillator Appendix E. Display Brightness The oscillator provides the internal refresh circuitry with a signal that is used to synchronize the columns and rows. This ensures that the right data is in the dot drivers for that row. This signal can be supplied from either an external source or the internal source. Two ways have been shown to control the brightness of this LED display: setting the peak current and setting the duty factor. Both values are set in Control Word 0.
