HDLx-2416 Series
Four Character 5.0 mm (0.2 inch) Smart 5x7
Alphanumeric Displays
Data Sheet
Description
These are 5.0 mm (0.2 inch) four character 5 x 7 dot matrix
displays driven by an on-board CMOS IC. These displays are
pin for pin compatible with the HPDL-2416. The IC stores
and decodes 7 bit ASCII data and displays it using a 5 x 7
font. Multiplexing circuitry, and drivers are also part of the
IC. The IC has fast setup and hold times which makes it easy
to interface to a microprocessor.

The address and data inputs can be directly connected to
the microprocessor address and data buses.
The HDLX-2416 has several enhancements over the HPDL-
2416. These features include an expanded character set,
internal 8 level dimming control, external dimming capability, and individual digit blanking. Finally, the extended
functions can be disabled which allows the HDLX-2416 to
operate exactly like an HPDL-2416 by disabling all of the
enhancements except the expanded character set.
Package Dimensions
The dierence between the sunlight viewable HDLS2416 and the low power HDLU-2416 occurs at power-on
or at the default brightness level. Following power up,
the HDLS-2416 operates at the 100% brightness level,
while the HDLU-2416 operates at the 27% brightness
level. Power on sets the internal brightness control (bits
3-5) in the control register to binary code (000). For the
HDLS-2416 binary code (000) corresponds to a 100%
brightness level, and for the HDLU-2416 binary code (000)
corresponds to a 27% brightness level. The other seven
brightness levels are identical for both parts.
