Plasma Panel Display Modules
DC Character Module with Drive Electronics
TTL Level Data Interface and Integrated DC Converter
FEATURES
• TTL level interface.
• + 5 VDC only option available.
• High brightness and contrast.
• Large characters.
• On board DC converter.
The APD-016A070 DC Plasma display offers viewing
qualities designers seek such as high contrast, viewing
angle of 150° minimum, and long distance readability. It is
bright (50 foot lamberts minimum) characters are presented
in a pleasing neon orange color against a black background.
Plasma is much more readable and eye-pleasing than liquid
crystal or vacuum fluorescent displays and is filterable to
red, amber or neutral density.
These plasma display panels are driven by refreshing all 14
segments, the decimal point and the comma much like a
CRT display. Each character segments are serially entered
from segment A thru R (no I, L, O or Q segments) plus the
decimal point and comma. Then a latch pulse advances the
character, latches the data and turns on the outputs. The
designer need only supply TTL level signals for SEGMENT
DATA, SEGMENT CLOCK, CHARACTER LATCH and
ANODE DATA. The SEGMENT DATA is entered, with the
SEGMENT CLOCK up to frequencies as high as 8MHz.
After all 14 segments, 1 period and 1 comma have been
entered, the CHARACTER LATCH signal is toggled and the
SEGMENT DATA is latched. At the time the data is latched,
the display is briefly disabled and the character is advanced
by the CHARACTER LATCH signal. Once each frame the
ANODE DATA must be asserted to synchronize the charac-
ter location with the SEGMENT DATA. The recommended
scanning frequency is approximately 70Hz, but may be as
high as 200Hz.
