5 ¥ 7-Dot Character ¥ 16-Digit Display Controller/Driver
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MSC7128-xx is a general purpose display controller for vacuum fluorescent display tube.
The MSC7128-xx drives displays with up to 35 anodes (dots) and up to 16 grids (characters) plus
a cursor.
The controller accepts command and display data input words on a clocked serial input line.
Commands control the on/off duty cycle, starting character position, number of characters to
display and display modes (PLA mode and Lamp Test mode). An internal PLA-type character
generator provides character decoding and dot pattern generation for the full 128 characters.
• Direct drive capability for vacuum fluorescent display (no pull-down resistor is required)
• Built-in oscillation circuit
• Built-in power-on-reset circuit with external C
• Serial host interface (data in, clock, chip select)
• Serial data input for 8-bit control and display data words
• Command functions
– On/off duty cycle: 0/16 to 15/16
– Character display position: 0 to 15
– Number of display digits:1 to 16
– Display modes: PLA mode, and Lamp Test mode
• Built-in 35 x 128-bit PLA-type character generator
– Character font:5 ¥ 7
– Number of characters:128
– Programmable PLA code
• Package options:
64-pin plastic SDIP (SDIP64-P-750-1.78) (Product name : MSM7128-xxSS)
64-pin plastic QFP (QFP64-P-1420-1.00-BK) (Product name : MSM7128-xxGS-BK)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Data Transfer Method and Command Write Method
A display control command or data is written by the 8-bit serial transfer method. The figure
below shows the write timing. When the CS pin is Low, data can be transferred. Data of 8 bits
in length is input to the DA pin sequentially starting with the LSB. (LSB first)
Data is shifted at the rising edge of a shift clock pulse which is input to the CP pin as shown in
the figure below. When 8-bit data is entered, an inner LOAD signal is automatically generated,
and data is written into the registers and RAM. Therefore, there is no need to input an external
LOAD signal.
If the CS pin is changed from Low to High, the serial transfer is inhibited, and data, which is
entered after the CS pin is changed from High to Low, is recognized in units of 8 bits.
The first 8 bits become the first byte, and the second 8 bits become the second byte and the next
8 bits become either the first byte or the second byte depending on the selected command.

Command Description
• Address set command
When the code of a display character is to be set, this command is used to specify the display
location (digit number) of the character.
The relation between the digit number X and common outputs COM1 to COM16 is as follows:

• Character code set command
This command is used to specify the character to be displayed in the digit place specified by the
Address Set command. Bits 0 to 6 of the second byte are used to specify the character code, and
bit 7 is used to specify "Yes" or "No" of cursor display.

An automatic address increment function is built in. To write multidigit display character codes,
issue the Address Set command. To transfer the second and later digit display character codes,
the first byte (operation code) of the Character Code command is not required. Input the second
byte.
When this command is executed, 8-bit data for the second byte and later bytes, which is provided
before the CS pin is turned High, is all treated as display character data.

Display Duty Set Command
Assuming the original oscillation cycle as T, the time allocated to 1-digit display is 64T. The actual
display time may be specified as 0 to 60T in increments of 4T. Assuming the number of display
digits as n and the parameter provided by the Display Duty Set command as DC, the resultant
display duty cycle ratio is as follows:

This command is used to set the All-Segment Display mode. If this occurs, the 36 segments for
each digit to be displayed are put into the ON state. The number of display digits and the display
duty cycle depend on the contents of the digit count register and of the duty register.
The contents of the internal RAM are not affected by this command. When the command is
released, the original display appears once again.

Power On Reset Operation
Operations when the RESET pin is Low are as follows:
a. All segment driver outputs are Low.
b. All grid driver outputs are Low.
c. The number of display digits is set to 16.
d. The display duty cycle is set to 0.
Test Step and Test Count
These pins are used for inspection before shipment, and should not be used by the user.
When this IC is mounted, leave them open or connect to VSS. If they are connected to other pins,
a malfunction may be caused.

Notes for Mounting the Surface Mount Type Package
The SOP, QFP, TSOP, SOJ, QFJ (PLCC), SHP and BGA are surface mount type packages, which
are very susceptible to heat in reflow mounting and humidity absorbed in storage.
Therefore, before you perform reflow mounting, contact Oki’s responsible sales person for the
product name, package name, pin number, package code and desired mounting conditions
(reflow method, temperature and times).
