MSC7166
16-Bit Grid Driver with 4 to 16-Decoder
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MSC7166 is a driver IC designed to directly drive the grids of a vacuum fluorescent display
tube.
Since this IC has a built-in 4 to 16-line decoder and 16 output circuits, a signal device of MSC7166
can replace a set of the following three: two devices of either MSL912 or MSL918 and one device
of either MSM4514 or MSM74HC4514.
Setting the DUTY pin to the "L" level makes all driver outputs go "L". Blanking can be set using
this function.
FEATURES
• Logic supply voltage : 5V
• Driver supply voltage : 65V
• Driver output current I
• Can be directly connected to VF display tube without pull-down resistor
• Built-in 4- to 16-line decoder
• Brightness can be adjusted by DUTY pin
• Package
24-pin plastic SOP (SOP24-P-430-1.27-K) (Product name: MSC7166GS-K)

4- to 16-line decoder input pins.
I
The input 4-bit binary signals are converted into hexadecimal signals, then output through
driver output pins.
DUTY
I Duty control signal input pin.
Setting this pin to "L" makes all driver outputs go "L", so this pin can be used for brightness
control.
GRID1-16
O High withstand voltage driver output pins for driving fluorescent display tube.
These pins can directly be connected to the grid of fluorescent display tude without
pull-down resistor.

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).
