They are accessed using the Flash Input, FL , and address lines, A3 and A4. All the listed RAMs and Registers may be read or written through the data bus. See Table Memory Selection" (page 9). Each input pin is described in Pin Definitions. Theory of Operation The PDSP188X Display is designed to work with all major microprocessors. Data entry is via an eight bit parallel bus. Three bits of address route the data to the proper digit location in the RAM. Standard control signals like WR and CE allow the data to be written into the display. D0-D7 data bits are used for both Character RAM and control word data input. A3 acts as the mode selector. If A3=1, character RAM is selected. Then input data bit D7 will determine whether input data bits D0-D6 is ASCII coded data (D7=0) or UDC data (D7=1). See section on UDC Address Register and UDC RAM" (page 10). For normal operation FL pin should be held high. When FL is held low, Flash RAM is accessed to set character blinking. Five Basic Memory Areas Character RAM Stores either ASCII (Katakana) character data or an UDC RAM address Flash RAM 1 x 8 RAM which stores Flash data User-Defined Character RAM (UDC RAM) Stores dot pattern for custom characters User-Defined Address Register (UDC Address Register) Provides address to UDC RAM when user is writing or reading custom character Control Word Register Enables adjustment of display brightness, flash individual characters, blink, self test or clearing the display The seven bit ASCII code is decoded by the Character ROM to generate Column data. Twenty columns worth of data is sent out each display cycle, and it takes fourteen display cycles to write into eight digits. The rows are multiplexed in two sets of seven rows each. The internal timing and control logic synchronizes the turning on of rows and presentation of column data to assure proper display operation. Power Up Sequence Upon power up the display will come on at random. Thus the display should be reset on power-up. Reset will clear the Flash RAM, Control Word Register and reset the internal counter. All the digits will show blanks and display brightness level will be 100%. The display must not be accessed until three clock pulses (110 s minimum using the internal clock) after the rising edge of the reset line. RST can be used to initialize display operation upon power up or during normal operation. When activated, RST will clear the Flash RAM and Control Word Register (00H) and reset the internal counter. All eight display memory locations will be set to 20H to show blanks in all digits. FL pin enables access to the Flash RAM. The Flash RAM will set (D0=1) or reset (D0=0) flashing of the character addressed by A0- A2. The 1 x 8 bit Control Word Register is loaded with attribute data if A3=0. Microprocessor Interface The interface to a microprocessor is through the 8-bit data bus (D0-D7), the 4-bit address bus (A0-A3) and control lines FL , CE and WR. To write data (ASCII/Control Word) into the display CE should be held low, address and data signals stable and WR should be brought low. The data is written on the low to high transition of WR. The Control Word is decoded by the Control Word Decode Logic. Each code has a different function. The code for display brightness changes the duty cycle for the column drivers. The peak LED current stays the same but the average LED current diminishes depending on the intensity level. The character Flash Enable causes 2.0 Hz coming out of the counter to be ANDED with the column drive signal to make the column driver cycle at 2.0 Hz. Thus the character flashes at 2.0 Hz. The Control Word Logic decodes attribute data for proper implementation. Character ROM is designed for 128 ASCII characters. The ROM is Mask Programmable for custom fonts. The Clock Source could either be the internal oscillator (CLKSEL=1) of the device or an external clock (CLKSEL=0) could be an input from another HDSP211X display for synchronizing blinking for multiple displays. The Display Multiplexer controls the Row Drivers so no additional logic is required for a display system. The Display has eight digits. Each digit has 35 LEDs. Memory Selection FL A4 A3 Section of Memory A2-A0 Data Bits Used 0 X X Flash RAM Character Address D0 1 0 0 UDC Address Register Don't Care D3-D0 1 0 1 UDC RAM Row Address D4-D0 1 1 1 Character RAM Character Address D7-D0 1 1 0 Control Word Register Don't Care D7-D0 2006-03-30 9 PDSP1880, PDSP1881, PDSP1882, PDSP1883, PDSP1884 The display Blink works the same way as the Flash Enable but causes all twenty column drivers to cycle at 2.0 Hz thereby making all eight digits blink at 2.0 Hz. The Self Test function of the IC consists of two internal routines which exercise major portions of the IC and illuminates all the LEDs. Clear bit clears the character RAM and writes a blank into the display memory. It however does not clear the control word. ASCII Data or Control Word Data can be written into the display at this point. For multiple display operation, CLK I/O must be properly selected. CLK I/O will output the internal clock if CLKSEL=1, or will allow input from an external clock if CLKSEL=0. UDC Address Register and UDC RAM The UDC Address Register and UDC RAM allows the user to generate and store up to 16 custom characters. Each custom character is defined in 5 x 7 dot matrix pattern. It takes 8 write cycles to define a custom character, one cycle to load the UDC Address Register and 7 cycles to define the character. The contents of the UDC Address Register will store the 4 bit address for one of the 16 UDC RAM locations. The UDC RAM is used to store the custom character. UDC Address Register The UDC Address Register is selected by setting FL=1, A4=0, A3=0. It is a 4 bit register and uses data bits, D3-D0 to store the 4 bit address code (D7-D4 are ignored). The address code selects one of 16 UDC RAM locations for custom character generation. Character RAM The Character RAM is selected when FL , A4 and A3 are set to 1,1,1 during a read or write cycle. The Character RAM is a 8 by 8 bit RAM with each of the eight locations corresponding to a digit on the display. Digit 0 is on the left side of the display and digit 7 is on the right side of the display. Address lines, A2-A0 select the digit address with A2 being the most significant bit and A0 being the least significant bit. The two types of data stored in the Character RAM are the ASCII coded data and the UDC Address Data. The type of data stored in the Character RAM is determined by data bit, D7. If D7 is low, then ASCII coded data is stored in data bits D6- D0. If D7 is high, then UDC Address Data is stored in data bit D3- D0. The ASCII coded data is a 7 bit code used to select one of 128 ASCII characters permanently stored in the ASCII ROM. UDC RAM The UDC RAM is selected by setting FL=1, A4=0, A3=1. The RAM is comprised of a 7 x 5 bit RAM. As shown in Table UDC Character Map" (page 11), address lines, A2-A0 select one of the 7 rows of the custom character. Data bits, D4-D0 determine the 5 bits of column data in each row. Each data bit corresponds to a LED. If the data bit is high, then the LED is on. If the data bit is low, the LED is off. To create a character, each of the 7 rows of column data need to be defined. See Table UDC Address Register and UDC RAM" (page 10) for logic. The UDC Address data is a 4 bit code used to select one of the UDC characters in the UDC RAM. There are up to 16 characters available. See Table Character RAM Access Logic" (page 10).

The Flash Ram is accessed by setting FL low. A4 and A3 are ignored. The Flash RAM is a 8 x 1 bit RAM with each bit corresponding to a digit address. Digit 0 is on the left side of the display and digit 7 is on the right side of the display. Address lines, A2-A0 select the digit address with A2 being the most significant digit and A0 being the least significant digit. Data bit, D0, sets and resets the flash bit for each digit. When D0 is high, the flash bit is set; and when D0 is low, it is reset. See Table Flash RAM Access Logic" (page 11). Blink Function Control Word bit, D4, enables or disables the Blink Function. When D4 is 1, the Blink Function is enabled and all characters on the display will blink at approximately 2.0 Hz. The Blink Function will override the Flash Function if both functions are enabled. When D4 is 0, the Blink Function is disabled. When using an external clock, the blink rate can be determined by dividing the clock rate by 28,672. For synchronized blinking on multiple displays, see the Reset Section (page 12). UDC Character Map Control Word The Control Word is used to set up the attributes required by the user. It is addressed by setting FL=1, A4=1, A3=0. The Control Word is an 8 bit register and is accessed using data bits, D7-D0. See Table Control Word Access Logic" (page 11) and Figure Control Word Data Definition" (page 12) for the logic and attributed control. The Control Word has 5 functions. They are brightness control, flashing character enable, blinking character enable, self test, and clear (Flash and Character RAMS only). Row Data Brightness Control Control Word bits, D2-D0, control the brightness of the display with a binary code of 000 being 100% brightness and 111 being display blank. See Figure Control Word Data Definition" (page 12) for brightness level versus binary code. The average ICC can be calculated by multiplying the 100% brightness level ICC value by the display's brightness level. For example, a display set to 80% brightness with a 100% average ICC value of 200 mA will have an average ICC value of 200 mA x 80%=160 mA. Column Data A2 A1 A0 Row # 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 1 0 3 0 1 1 4 1 0 0 5 1 0 1 6 1 1 0 7 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 5x7 Dot Matrix Pattern Self Test Control Word bits, D6 and D5, are used for the Self Test Function. When D6 is 1, the Self Test is initiated. Results of the Self Test are stored in bit D5. Control Word bit, D5, is a read only bit. When D5 is 1, Self Test has passed. When D5 is 0, Self Test failed is indicated. The Self Test function of the IC consists of two internal routines which exercise major portions of the IC and illuminates all of the LEDs. The first routine cycles the ASCII decoder ROM through all states and performs a check sum on the out-put. If the check sum is correct, D5 is set to a 1 (Pass). Flash Function Control Word bit, D3, enables or disables the Flash Function. When D3 is 1, the Flash Function is enabled and any digit with its corresponding bit set in the Flash RAM will flash at approximately 2.0 Hz. When using an external clock, the flash rate can be determined by dividing the clock rate by 28,672. When D3 is 0, the Flash Function is disabled and the contents of the Flash RAM is ignored. For synchronized flashing on multiple displays, see the Reset Section (page 12).

This is accomplished by writing checkered and inversed checkered patterns to the display. Each pattern is displayed for approximately 2.0 sec. During the self test function the display must not be accessed. The time needed to execute the self test function is calculated by multiplying the clock time by 262,144 (typical time 4.6 s). At the end of the self test, the Character RAM is loaded with blanks; the Control Word Register is set to zeroes except D5; the Flash RAM is cleared and the UDC Address Register is set to all 1.0 sec. Reset Function The display should be reset on power up of the display (RST=LOW). When the display is reset, the Character RAM, Flash RAM, and Control Word Register are cleared. The display's internal counters are reset. Reset cycle takes three clock cycles (110 s minimum using the internal clock). The display must not be accessed during this time. To synchronize the flashing and blinking of multiple displays, it is necessary for the display to use a common clock source and reset all the displays at the same time to start the internal counters at the same place. While RST is low, the display must not be accessed by RD nor WR. Clear Function (see Figure Control Word Data Definition" (page 12) and Table Clear Function" (page 12)) Control Word bit, D7 clears the character RAM to 20 hex and the flash RAM to all zeroes. The RAMs are cleared within three clock cycles (110 s minimum, using the internal clock) when D7 is set to 1. During the clear time the display must not be accessed. When the clear function is finished, bit 7 of the Control Word RAM will be reset to a "0".

Additionally, the LEDs may cause transients in the power supply line while they change display states. The common practice is to place a parallel combination of a 0.01 F and a 22 F capacitor between VCC and GND for all display packages. Optical Considerations The 4.70 mm (0.180") high character of the PDSP188X gives readability up to eight feet. Proper filter selection enhances readability over this distance. Using filters emphasizes the contrast ratio between a lit LED and the character background. This will increase the discrimination of different characters. The only limitation is cost. Take into consideration the ambient lighting environment for the best cost/benefit ratio for filters. Incandescent (with almost no green) or fluorescent (with almost no red) lights do not have the flat spectral response of sunlight. Plastic band-pass filters are an inexpensive and effective way to strengthen contrast ratios. The PDSP1880 / PDSP1882 are red / high efficiency red displays and should be matched with a long wavelength pass filter in the 570 nm to 590 nm range. The PDSP1883 should be matched with a yellow-green band-pass filter that peaks at 565 nm. For displays of multiple colors, neutral density grey filters offer the best compromise. Additional contrast enhancement is gained by shading the displays. Plastic band-pass filters with built-in louvers offer the next step up in contrast improvement. Plastic filters can be improved further with anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare. The trade-off is fuzzy characters. Mounting the filters close to the display reduces this effect. Take care not to overheat the plastic filter by allowing for proper air flow. Optimal filter enhancements are gained by using circular polarized, anti-reflective, band-pass filters. The circular polarizing further enhances contrast by reducing the light that travels through the filter and reflects back off the display to less than 1%. Several filter manufacturers supply quality filter materials. Some of them are: Panelgraphic Corporation, W. Caldwell, NJ; SGL Homalite, 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 displays 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. ESD Protection The input protection structure of the PDSP188X provides significant protection against ESD damage. It is capable of withstanding discharges greater than 4.0 kV. Take all the standard precautions normal for CMOS components. These include properly grounding personnel, tools, tables, and transport carriers that come in contact with unshielded parts. If these conditions are not, or cannot be met, keep the leads of the device shorted together or the parts in anti-static packaging. Soldering Considerations The PDSP188X can be hand soldered with SN63 solder using a grounded iron set to 260 C. Wave soldering is also possible. Use water soluble organic acid flux or resin based RMA flux. A wave temperature of 245 C 5 C with a dwell between 1.5 sec to 3.0 sec can be used. Exposure to the wave should not exceed temperatures above 260 C for five seconds at 1.59 mm (0.063") below the seating plane. The packages should not be immersed in the wave. Post Solder Cleaning Procedures The least offensive cleaning solution is hot D.I. 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. Exercise care in choosing solvents as some may chemically attack the polycarbonate package. Maximum exposure should not exceed two minutes at elevated temperatures. Acceptable solvents are TF (trichorotrifluorethane), and IPA. Some major solvent manufacturers are: Allied Chemical Corporation, Specialty Chemical Division, Morristown, NJ; Baron-Blakeslee, Chicago, IL; Dow Chemical, Midland, MI; E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, DE. For further information refer to Appnote 19 at www.osram-os.com An alternative to soldering and cleaning the display modules is to use sockets. Naturally, 28 pin DIP sockets 7.62 mm (0.300") wide with 2.54 mm (0.100") centers work well for single displays. Multiple display assemblies are best handled by longer SIP sockets or DIP sockets when available for uniform package alignment. Socket manufacturers are Aries Electronics, Inc., Frenchtown, NJ; Garry Manufacturing, New Brunswick, NJ; Robinson-Nugent, New Albany, IN; and Samtec Electronic Hardward, New Albany, IN. 2006-03-30 14 PDSP1880, PDSP1881, PDSP1882, PDSP1883, PDSP1884 Revision History: 2006-03-30 Previous Version: 2004-12-09 Page Subjects (major changes since last revision) Date of change all Lead free device 2006-01-23 Published by OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbH Wernerwerkstrasse 2, D-93049 Regensburg www.osram-os.com (c) All Rights Reserved.
