MSC1205
32-Bit Duplex Controller/Driver with Digital Dimming Function
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MSC1205 is a Bi-CMOS display driver for a 1/2-duty vacuum fluorescent display tube. It
consists of a 64-bit shift register, latch circuits, a digital diming circuit, and drivers.
The MSC1205 provides an interface with a microcomputer only by three signal lines: LOAD,
DATA, and CLOCK.
FEATURES
• Power Supply Voltage: 8 to 18V (built-in 5V regulator for logic)
• Built-in 1-terminal RC oscillation circuit (with external capacitor)
• Built-in digital dimming circuit
10-bit resolution
Programmable in the duty range of 0/2048 (0%) to 1015.5/2048 (49.6%).
• Can directly drive 32 ¥ 2 display anodes.
• Built-in power-on reset circuit
• Package options:
42-pin plastic DIP (DIP42-P-600-2.54) (Product name: MSC1205-RS)
44-pin plastic QFP (QFP44-P-910-0.80-2K) (Product name: MSC1205GS-2K)
