AD6315 1/4- to 1/12 Duty VFD Controller/Driver Features General Description - Multiple display modes (16-segment & 12-digit to 24-segment & 4-digit) - Key scanning (16 x 2 matrix) - Dimming circuit (eight steps) - High-voltage output ( VEE (max) = VDD - 35V ) - 4 channel LED ports - No external resistors necessary for driver outputs (P-ch open-drain + pull-down resistor output) - Serial interface (CLK, STB, DIN, DOUT) - Package: 44-pin plastic QFP and LQFP The AD6315 is a VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display or fluorescent Indicator Panel) driver that is driven on a 1/4- to 1/12- duty factor. It consists of 16 segments and 4 grids output lines, 8 segments / grid output driving lines, a display memory, a control circuit, and a key scan circuit. Serial data is input to the AD6315 through a 3-wire serial interface. This VFD driver is ideal as a peripheral device for a single-chip microcomputer.

Output serial data at the falling edge of the shift clock, starting from low order bit. This is N-ch open-drain output pin. Initializes serial interface at the rising or falling edge of the AD6315. It then waits for reception of a command. Data input after STB falling is processed as a command. While command data is processed, current processing is stopped, and the serial interface is initialized. While STB is high, CLK is ignored. Reads serial data at the rising edge, and outputs data at the falling edge. Connect resistor in between this pin and Vss to set up the oscillation frequency.

"L" output when the bit of this port is 0, and "H" output when the bit is 1. The data of bits after the 5th bit are ignored. LSB MSB b3 b2 b1 b0 LED1 LED2 Don't care LED3 LED4 Note: On power application, all the LED ports are "L" output. (4) Commands Commands set the display mode and status of the VFD driver. The first 1 byte input to the AD6315 through the DIN pin after the STB pin has fallen is regarded as a command. If STB is set high while commands/data are transmitted, serial communication is initialized, and the commands/data being transmitted are invalid (however, the commands/data previously transmitted remain valid).

When these commands are executed, the display is forcibly turned off, and key scanning is also stopped. To resume display, the display command "ON" must be executed.
