DESCRIPTION

These Programmable Displays are four digit display sys - tem modules. The characters are 5.08 mm by 3.56 mm (0.20" by 0.14") (PD243X), 6.86 mm by 5.08 mm (0.27" by 0.20") (PD353X), and 11.43 mm by 6.86 mm (0.45" by 0.27") (PD443X) 5 x 7 dot matrix arrays constructed with the latest solid state technology in light emitting diodes. Driving and controlling the LED arrays is a silicon gate CMOS inte - grated circuit. This integrated circuit provides all neces - sary LED drivers and complete multiplexing control logic. Additionally, the IC has the necessary ROM to decode

128 ASCII alphanumeric characters and enough RAM to

store the display’s complete four digit ASCII message with special attributes. These attributes, all software pro grammable at the user’s discretion, include a lamp test, brightness control, displaying cursors, alternating cursors and characters, and flashing cursors or characters. The CMOS IC also incorporates special interface control circuitry to allow the user to control the module as a fully supported microprocessor peripheral. The module, under internal or external clock control, has asynchronous read, write, and memory clear over an eight bit parallel, TTL compatible, bi-directional data bus. Each module is fully encapsulated within a package and The standard 20 pin DIP construction with two rows spaced at 15.2 mm (0.6") on 2.54 mm (0.1") centers is wave solderable. See the end of this data sheet or refer to Appnotes 18, 19, 22, and 23 for further details on handling and assembling OSRAM Programmable Displays.

PD243X, PD353X, PD443X 2006-01-23 8 Functional Description The block diagram includes 5 major blocks and internal registers (indicated by dotted lines). Display Memory consists of a 5 x 8 bit RAM block. Each of the four 8-bit words holds 7-bits of ASCII data (bits D0–D6) and an attribute select bit (Bit D6). The fifth 8-bit memory word is used as a control word register. A detailed description of the control register and its functions can be found in the Control Word sec tion. Each 8-bit word is addressable and can be read from or writ - ten to. The Control Logic dictates all of the features of the display device and is discussed in the Control Word section of this data sheet. The Character Generator converts the 7-bit ASCII data into the proper dot pattern for the 128 characters shown in the character set chart. The Clock Source can originate either from the internal oscillator clock or from an external source—usually from the output of another display in a multiple module array. The Display Multiplexer controls all display output to the digit drivers so no additional logic is required for a display system. The Column Drivers are connected directly to the display. The Display has four digits. Each of the four digits is com-prised of

35 LEDs in a 5 x 7 dot array which makes up the alphanumeric

characters. The intensity of the display can be varied by the Control Word in steps of 0% (Blank), 25%, 50%, and full brightness. The Reset pin when activated clears the internal counter. A reset is usually done after power up and is of very short duration-nanosec- onds or microseconds. If the reset pin is held low for a longer time (milliseconds) some or all LEDs in the bottom row may light up. The appearance of lit LEDs during a “reset” is not an indication of a mal functioning part. It is advisable to keep the reset pulse as short as possible to avoid displaying a row of lit LEDs. Microprocessor Interface The interface to the microprocessor is through the address lines. (A0–A2), the data bus (D0–D7), two chip select lines ( CE0, CE1), and read (RD) and write (WR) lines. The CE0 should be held low when executing a read, or write oper- ation. CE1 must be held high. The read and write lines are both active low. During a valid read the data input lines (D0–D7) become outputs. A valid write will enable the data as input lines. Input Buffering If a cable length of 6 inches or more is used, all inputs to the display should be buffered with a tri-state non-inverting buffer mounted as close to the display as conveniently possible. Recommended buffers are: 74LS245 for the data lines and 74LS244 for the control lines. Block Diagram Mode Selection CEO CE1 RD WR Operation 0 1 0 0 None

PD243X, PD353X, PD443X 2006-01-23 9 There are five registers within the display. Four of these registers are used to hold the ASCII/attribute code of the four display char- acters. The fifth register is the Control Word, which is used to blink, blank, clear, or dim the entire display, or to change the presenta- tion (attributes) of individual characters. Adressing The addresses within the display device are shown below. Digit 0 is the rightmost digit of the display, while digit 3 is on the left. Although there is only one Control Word, it is duplicated at the four address locations 0–3. Data can be read from any of these loca tions. When one of these locations is written to, all of them will change together. Bit D7 of any of the display digit locations is used to allow an at- tribute to be assigned to that digit. The attributes are discussed in the next section. If Bit D7 is set to a one, that character will be dis played using the attribute. If bit D7 is cleared, the character will dis- play normally. Control Word When address bit A2 is taken low, the Control Word is accessed. The same Control Word appears in all four of the lower address spaces of the display. Through the Control Word, the display can be cleared, the lamps can be tested, display brightness can be selected, and attributes can be set for any characters which have been loaded with their most significant bit (D7) set high. Brightness (D0, D1): The state of the lower two bits of the Control Word are used to set the brightness of the entire display, from 0% to 100%. The table below shows the correspondence of these bits to the brightness. Attributes (D2–D4): Bits D2, D3, and D4 control the visual attributes (i.e., blinking) of those display digits which have been written with bit D7 set high. In order to use any of the four attributes, the Cursor Enable bit (D4 in the Control Word) must be set. When the Cursor Enable bit is set, and bit D7 in a character location is set, the character will take on one of the following dis play attributes. Control Word Format Address Contents A2 A1 A0

PD243X, PD353X, PD443X 2006-01-23 10 Attributes are non-destructive. If a character with bit D7 set is replaced by a cursor (Control Word bit D4 is set, and D3=D2=0) the character will remain in memory and can be revealed again by clearing D4 in the Control Word. Blink (D5): The entire display can be caused to blink at a rate of approximately 2.0 Hz by setting bit D5 in the Control Word. This blink- ing is independent of the state of D7 in all character locations. To synchronize the blink rate in a bank of these devices, it is nec- essary to tie all devices' clocks and resets together as described in a later section of this data sheet. Lamp Test (D6): When the Lamp Test bit is set, all dots in the entire display are lit at half brightness. When this bit is cleared, the display returns to the characters that were showing before the lamp test. Clear Data (D7): When D7 is set (D7=1) in the Control Word, all (dis- play) memory bits are reset to zero and the display goes blank. A second control word must be written into the chip with D7 reset (D7=0) to set up attributes and brightness levels. The SMC- 4740 oscillator is designed to drive up to 16 displays with input loading of 15 pF each. The general requirements for cascading 16 displays are: 1.Determine the correct address for each display. 2.Tie CE0 to ground and use CE1 from an address. 3.Select one of the displays to provide the clock for the other displays. 4.Tie CLKSEL to ground on other displays. 5.Use RST to synchronize the blinking between the displays.

PD243X, PD353X, PD443X 2006-01-23 11 How to Load Information Into the Display Information loaded into the display can be either ASCII data or Control Word data. The following procedure (see also Typical Loading Sequence) will demonstrate a typical loading sequence and the resulting visual display. The word STOP is used in all of the following examples. Set Brightness Step 1 Set the brightness level of the entire display to your preference (example: 100%) Load Four Characters Step 2 Load an “S” in the left hand digit. Step 3 Load a “T” in the next digit. Step 4 Load an “O” in the next digit. Step 5 Load a “P” in the right hand digit. If you loaded the information correctly, the display now should show the word “STOP .” Blink a Single Character Step 6 Into the digit, second from the right, load the hex code “CF ,” which is the code for an “O” with the D7 bit added as a control bit. Note: The “O” is the only digit which has the control bit (D7) added to normal ASCII data. Step 7 Load enable blinking character into the control word register. The display should show “STOP” with a flashing “O”. Add Another Blinking Character Step 8 Into the left hand digit, load the hex code “D3” which gives an “S” with the D7 bit added as a control bit. The display should show “STOP” with flashing “O” and a flashing “S.” Alternate Character/Cursor Enable Step 9 Load enable alternate character/cursor into the control word register. The display now should show “STOP” with the “O” and the “S” alternating between the letter and cursor (all dots lit). Initiate Four Character Blinking (Regardless of Control Bit setting) Step 10 Load enable display blinking. The display now should show the entire word “STOP” blinking.

PD243X, PD353X, PD443X 2006-01-23 12 Electrical and Mechanical Considerations The CMOS IC of the display is designed to provide resistance to both Electrostatic Discharge Damage and Latch Up due to voltage or current surges. Several precautions are strongly recommended to avoid overstressing these built-in safeguards. ESD Protection Display users should be careful to handle the devices consistent with Standard ESD protection procedures. Operators should wear appropriate wrist, ankle or feet ground straps and avoid clothing that collects static charges. Work surfaces, tools and transport car- riers that come into contact with unshielded devices or assemblies should also be appropriately grounded. Latch up Protection Latch up is a condition that occurs in CMOS ICs after the input protection diodes have been broken down. These diodes can be reversed through several means: VIN < GND, VIN > VCC + 0.5 V, or through excessive currents forced on the inputs. When these situations exist, the IC may develop the response of an SCR and begin conducting as much as one amp through the V CC pin. This destructive condition will persist (latched) until device failure or the device is turned off. The Voltage Transient Suppression Techniques and buffer inter- faces for longer cable runs help considerably to prevent latch con- ditions from occurring. Additionally, the following Power Up and Power Down sequence should be observed. Power up Sequence 1. Float all active signals by tri-stating inputs to displays. 2. Apply VCC and GND to the display. 3. Apply active signals to the displays by enabling all input signals per application. Power Down Sequence 1.Float all active signals by tri-stating the inputs to the display. 2.Turn off the power to the display. Soldering Considerations These displays can be hand soldered with SN63 solder using a grounded iron set to 260°C. Wave soldering is also possible following these conditions: Pre- heat 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 rosin-based RMA flux without alcohol can be used. Wave temperature is 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 5 sec at 1.59 mm (0.063") below the seating plane. The packages should not be immersed in the wave. Voltage Transient Suppression It has become common practice to provide 0.01 µF bypass capac- itors liberally in digital systems. Like other CMOS circuitry, the Intelligent Display controller chip has very low power consumption and the usual 0.01 µF would be adequate were it not for the LEDs. To prevent power supply transients, capacitors with low inductance and high capacitance at high frequencies are required. This suggests a solid t antalum or ceramic disc for high frequency bypass. For multiple display module systems distribute the bypass capacitors evenly, keeping capacitors as close to the power pins as possible. Use a 0.01 µF capacitor for each display module and a 22 µF for every third display module. Notes: 1. A2 must be held high for ASCII data. 2. Bit D7=1 enables attributes for the assigned digit.

PD243X, PD353X, PD443X 2006-01-23 14 Post Solder Cleaning Procedures The least offensive cleaning solution is hot D.l. 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. Carefully choose the solvents as some may chemically attack the package. Maximum exposure should not exceed two minutes at elevated tempera- tures. Acceptable solvents are: TF (trichlorotrifluoroethane), TA, 111 Trichloroethane, and unheated acetone. (1) Note: 1) Acceptable commercial solvents are: Basic TF Arklone P . Genesolv D, Genesolv DA, BlacoTron TF and Blaco-Tron TA. Do not use solvents containing alcohol, methanol, methylene chlo- ride, ethanol, TP35, TCM, TMC, TMS+, TE, and TES. Since many commercial mixtures exist, you should contact your preferred sol- vent vendor for chemical composition information. Some major sol- vent manufacturers are: Allied Chemical Corporation, Specialty Chemical Division, Morristown, NJ; Baron-Blakeslee, Chicago, IL; Dow Chemical, Midland, Ml; E.l. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Wilm ington, DE. For further information refer to Appnotes 18 and 19. An alternative to soldering and cleaning the display modules is to use sockets. Naturally, 20 pin DIP sockets 15.24 mm (0.600") wide with 2.54 mm (0.100") centers work well for single displays. Multiple display assemblies are best handled by longer SIP sock - ets or DIP sockets when available for uniform package alignment. Socket manufacturers include: Aries Electronics, Inc., French town, NJ; Garry Manufacturing, New Brunswick, NJ; Robin - son-Nugent, New Albany, IN; and Samtec Electronic Hardware, New Albany, IN. For further information refer to Appnote 22. Optical Considerations The character heights of these displays allows readability up to eight feet. Proper filter selection allows the user to build a display that can be used over this distance. Filters allow the user to enhance the contrast ratio between a lit LED and the character background. This will maximize discrimina- tion of different characters as perceived by the display user. The only limitation is cost. So first consider the ambient lighting envi- ronment to maximize the cost benefit ratio for using filters. Incandescent (with almost no green) or fluorescent (with almost no red) lights do not have the flat spectral response of sunlight. Plas- tic band-pass filters are inexpensive and effective in optimizing contrast ratios. The PD2435/3535/4435 is high efficiency red dis- play and should be matched with a long wavelength pass filter in the 570 nm to 590 nm range. The PD2436/3536/4436 is a stan- dard red display and should be matched with a long wavelength pass filter in the 600 nm to 620 nm range. The PD2437/3537/4437 should be matched with a yellow-green band-pass filter that peaks at 565 nm. For displays of multiple colors, neutral density grey fil- ters offer the best compromise. Additional contrast enhancement can be gained through shading the displays. Plastic band-pass filters with built-in louvers offer the “next step up” in contrast improvement. Plastic filters can be fur- ther improved with anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare. The trade-off is “fuzzy” characters. Mounting the filters close to the dis- play reduces this effect. Care should be taken not to overheat the plastic filters by allowing for proper air flow. Optimal filter enhancements for any condition can be gained through the use of circular polarized, anti-reflective, band-pass fil ters. The circular polarizing further enhances contrast by reducing the light that travels through the filter and reflects back off the dis- play to less than 1%. Proper intensity selection of the displays will allow 10,000 foot candle sunlight viewability. Several filter manufacturers supply quality filter materials. Some of them are: Panelgraphic Corporation, W. Caldwell, NJ; SGL Homa- lite, 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 display and bezel assemblies is an inexpensive way to provide a shading effect in overhead lighting situations. Several Bezel manufacturers are: R.M.F . Products, Batavia, IL; Nobex Components, Griffith Plastic Corp., Burlingame, CA; Photo Chemical Products of California, Santa Monica, CA; I.E.E.Atlas, Van Nuys, CA. See Appnote 23.
