32-Bit Duplex/Triplex (1/2 duty / 1/3 duty) VF Controller/Driver with Digital Dimming
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MSM9210 is a full CMOS controller/driver for Duplex or Triplex (1/2 duty or 1/3 duty)
vacuum fluorescent display tube. It consists of a 32-segment driver multiplexed to drive up to
96 segments, and 10-bit digital dimming circuit.
MSM9210 features a selection of a master mode and a slave mode, and therefore it can be used
to expand segments for the VFD driver with keyscan and A/D converter function.
MSM9210 provides an interface with a microcontroller only by three signal lines: DATA IN,
CLOCK and CS.
FEATURES
• Logic supply voltage (VDD): 4.5 to 5.5V
• Driver supply voltage (V
• Duplex/Triplex (1/2 duty / 1/3 duty) selectable
DUP/TRI=1/2 duty selectable at "H" level

MSM9210
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Power-on Reset
When power is turned on, MSM9210 is initialized by the internal power-on reset circuit.
The status of the internal circuit after initialization is as follows:
• The contents of the shift registers and latches are set to "0".
• The digital dimming duty cycle is set to "0".
• All segment outputs are set to Low level.
• All grid outputs are set to High level.
Data Transfer Method
Data can be transferred between the rising edge and the next falling edge of chip select input.
The mode data, segment data and dimming data are written by a serial transfer method. The
serial data is input to the shift register at the rising edge of a shift clock pulse.
The mode data (M0 to M2) must be transferred after the segment data and dimming data
succeedingly.
When the chip select input falls, an internal LOAD signal is automatically generated and data is
loaded to the latches.
Function Mode
Function mode is selected by the mode data (M0 to M2). The relation between function mode and
mode data is as follows:
FUNCTION MODEOPERATING MODE
FUNCTION DATA
M0M1M2
0000Segment Data for GRID1-3 Input
1001Segment Data for GRID1 Input
0102Segment Data for GRID2 Input
1103Segment Data for GRID3 Input
0014Digital Dimming Data Input
Segment Data Input [Function Mode: 0 to 3]
• MSM9210 receives the segment data when function mode 0 to 3 are selected.
• The same segment data is transferred to the 3 segment data latches corresponding to GRID 1
to 3 at the same time when the function mode 0 is selected.
• The segment data is transferred to only one segment data latch corresponding to the specified
GRID when the function mode is 1, 2 or 3 is selected.
• Segment output (SEG1 to 32) becomes High level (lightning) when the segment data (S1 to S32)
is set to "1".
Master Mode is selected when M/S pin is set at High level. The master mode operation is as
follows:
• The input levels of DIM IN, SYNC IN1 and SYNC IN2 are ignored, and these pins should be
connected to L-GND or VDD.
• The pulse width of GRID1 to 3 and SEG1 to 32 are controlled by the internal digital dimming
circuit.
• The segment Latch1 to 3 corresponding to GRID1 to 3 are selected by the internal timing
generator.
13/19
Page 14

MSM9210
Slave Mode
Slave Mode is selected when M/S pin is set at Low level. The slave mode operation is as follows:
• The internal dimming circuit is ignored.
• The pulse width of SEG1 to 32 are controlled by the pulse width of DIM IN signal.
• The segment Latch1 to 3 corresponding to GRID1 to 3 are selected by SYNC IN1 and SYNC IN2
signals.
• The output levels of GRID1 to 3 are set at High level. The output levels of DIM OUT, SYNC
OUT1 and SYNC OUT2 are set at Low level.

NOTES ON TURNING POWER ON/OFF
• Connect L-GND and D-GND externally to be an equal potential voltage.
• To avoid wrong operations, turn on the driver power supply after turning on the logic power
supply. Conversely, turn off the logic power supply after tuning off the driver power supply.
