GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TC7211AM (LCD Decoder/driver) is a CMOS di-

rect drive, 4-digit, 7-segment display decoder and driver.

The TC7211AM drives conventional LCDs. An RC oscillator, divider chain, backplane driver, and 28-segment outputs are provided on a single CMOS chip. The segment drivers supply square waves of the same frequency as the backplane, but in-phase for an OFF segment and out-ofphase for an ON segment. The net DC voltage applied between driver segment and backplane is near zero maximizing display lifetime.

The four bit binary input is decoded into the seven segment alphanumeric code known as "Code B". The "Code B" output format results in a 0 to 9,—, E, H, L, P or blank display. True BCD or binary inputs will be correctly decoded to the seven segment display format.

*Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NOTES: 1. This limit refers to that of the package and will not be realized

during normal operation.

2. Due to the SCR structure inherent in the CMOS process, connecting any terminal to voltages greater than V+ or less than GND may cause destructive latch-up. For this reason, it is recommended that inputs from external sources not operating on the same power supply not be applied to the device before its supply is established, and, in multiple supply systems, the supply to the TC7211AM be turned on first.

The TC7211AM drives 4-digit, 7-segment LCDs. This device contains 28 individual segment drivers, a backplane driver, a self-contained oscillator, and a divider chain to generate the backplane signal.

The 28 CMOS segment drivers and backplane driver contain ratioed N- and P-channel transistors for identical ON resistance. The equal resistances eliminate the DC output driver component resulting from unequal rise and fall times. This ensures maximum LCD life.

The backplane output driver can be disabled by grounding the OSCILLATOR input (pin 36). The 28 output segment drivers can therefore be synchronized directly to an input signal at the backplane (BP) terminal (pin 5). Several slave devices may be cascaded to the backplane output of a master device. The backplane signal may also be derived from an external source. These features permit interfacing to single backplane LCDs with characters in multiples of four.

Each slave’s backplane input represents a 200pF capacitive load to the master backplane driver (comparable to one additional segment). The number of slave devices drivable by a master device is therefore set by the larger display backplane capacitive load. The master backplane output will drive the display backplane of 16 one-half-inch characters with rise and fall times under 5 µsec. This represents a system with three slave devices and a fourth master device driving the backplane.

If more than four devices are slaved together, the backplane signal should be derived externally and all TC7211AM devices slaved to it. The external drive signal must drive a high capacitive load with 1µsec to 2 µsec rise and fall times. The backplane frequency is normally 125 Hz. At lower display ambient temperatures, the frequency may be reduced to compensate for display response time.

The on-chip RC oscillator free-runs at approximately 16 kHz. A divide-by 128 circuit provides the 125 Hz backplane frequency. The oscillator frequency may be reduced by connecting an external capacitor between the oscillator terminal and V+. (See typical operating characteristics curves.)

The free-running oscillator may be overridden (if desired) by an external clock. The backplane driver, however, must not be disabled during the external clock’s negative or lOW portion, as this will result in a DC drive component being applied to the LCD, limiting the LCD’s life. To prevent backplane driver disabling, the oscillator input should be driven from the positive supply to no less than one-fifth the supply voltage above ground. A backplane disable signal will not be sensed if the driving signal remains above ground by one-fifth the supply voltage. An alternate method for externally driving the oscillator permits the oscillator input to swing the full supply voltage range. The oscillator input signal duty cycle is skewed so the LOW

Input Configuration and Output Codes

The TC7211AM accepts a 4-bit, true binary (positive level = logic “1”) input at pin 27 (LSB) through pin 30 (MSB). The binary input is decoded to the 7-segment output known as Code B. The output display format is 0 to 9, —, E, H, L, P and blank display (see Table 1). Segment assignments are shown in Figure 4. The TC7211AM will correctly decode binary and BCD true codes to a 7-segment output.

The TC7211AM is designed to interface with a data bus and display data under microprocessor control. Four data inputs (pins 27–30) and two digit select input bits (pins 31 and 32) are written into input buffer latches. The rising edge of either chip select causes data to be latched, decoded and stored in the selected digit output data latch. The 2-bit digit code selects the appropriate output digit latch. The 4-bit display data word is decoded to the "Code B" 7-segment output format.

For applications where bus compatibility is not required, refer to the TC7211AM (LCD) 4-digit decoder driver data sheet. This device is designed to accept multiplexed BCD/ binary input data for display under the control of four separate digit select control signals.
