ML9213
56-Bit Duplex/Triplex (1/2 duty/1/3 duty) VFD Controller/Driver with Anode Digital Dimming
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML9213 is a full CMOS controller/driver for Duplex or Triplex (1/2 duty or 1/3 duty) vacuum fluorescent
display tube. It consists of a 56-segment driver multiplexed to drive up to 168 segments, and 10-bit digital
dimming circuit.
ML9213 features a selection of a master mode and a slave mode, and therefore it can be used to expand segments
for the VFD driver with keyscan and A/D converter function.
ML9213 provides an interface with a microcontroller only by three signal lines: DATA IN, CLOCK and CS.
FEATURES
N Logic supply voltage (VDD)
: 5.0 V H10%
N Driver supply voltage (VDISP)
: 8.0 to 18.0 V
N Duplex/Triplex (1/2 duty / 1/3 duty) selectable
DUP/TRI = 1/2 duty selectable at “H” level
DUP/TRI = 1/3 duty selectable at “L” level
N Number of display segments
112 segments max. (during 1/2 duty mode)
168 segments max. (during 1/3 duty mode)
N Master/Slave selectable
M/S = “H” level
: Master mode
M/S = “L” level
: Slave mode
N Interface with a microcontroller
Three lines: CS, CLOCK, and DATA IN
N 56-segment driver outputs
: IOH = –5.0 mA at VOH = VDISP–0.8 V (SEG1 to 37)
(can be directly connected to VFD tube : IOH = –10.0 mA at VOH = VDISP–0.8 V (SEG38 to 56)
and requires no external resistors)
: IOL = 500 2A at VOL = 2.0 V (SEG1 to 56)
N 3-grid pre-driver outputs
: IOH = –5.0 mA at VOH = VDISP–0.8 V
(requires external drivers)
IOL = 10.0 mA at VOL = 2.0 V
N Logic outputs
: IOH = –200 2A at VOH = VDD–0.8 V
IOL = 200 2A at VOL = 0.8 V
N Built-in anode digital dimming circuit (10-bit resolution)
N Built-in oscillation circuit (external resistor and capacitor)
N Built-in Power-On-Reset circuit
N Package options:
