a grounded emitte r digit transistor without the ne ed of a
Darlington configuration.
As seen in the block diagram, these display controllers
contain six 5-bit register s; any one of which may be randomly written. Th e internal multi plexer scans the registers
and refreshes the di splay. This combination of write only
memory and self-scan display makes the display controller
a “refreshing experi ence” for an over-burdened microprocessor.
