General Description
HT16512 is a VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Dis
play) controller/driver that is driven on a 1/4 to
1/11 duty factor. It consists of 11 segment out
put lines, 6 grid output lines, 5 segment/grid
output drive lines, 4 LED output ports, a control circuit, a display memory, and a key scan
circuit.
