○Command and data transfer method
○3-SPI (3-wire serial interface)
This device is controlled by a 3-wire signal (CSB, SCL, and SD).
First, Interface counter is initialized with CSB=“H".
Setting CSB=”L”, enables SD and SCL inputs.
The protocol of 3-SPI transfer is as follows.
Each command starts with Command or Data judgment bit (D/C) as MSB data,
followed by data D6 to D0 (this is when CSB =”L”).
(Internal data is latched at the rising edge of SCL, serial data is converted to an 8-bit parallel data at the falling edge of
the 8th CLK.)
When CSB changes from “L” to “H”, and at this time serial commands are less than 8 bits, command and data transfers
are cancelled. To start sending command again, please set CSB=”L" and send command continuously.
After sending RAMWR or BLKWR or GPOSET command, this device is in the RAM data input mode. Under this mode,
device can not accept new commands.
In this case, execute a “H” to “L” transition at CSB, after this sequence, the device is released from RAM data input mode,
and can accept new command.

According to this command, an 8-bit binary data will be written to the DDRAM. The starting address of the DDRAM where
data will be written is specified by “ADSET” command, and is automatically incremented for every 4 bits of data received..
Writing data to DDRAM can be done by continuously sending data.
(In case data is sent continuously after write date at 1Ah (SEG26), RAM data will be written to 1Bh (dummy address)
and return to address 00h (SEG0) automatically.)
In case SEG port assigned to GPO port by OUTSET command, corresponding SEG address do not change and used as
dummy address.

Display data write to DDRAM every 4 bits.
In case CSB changes from ”L” to ”H” before 4 bits of data transfer was finished, RAM write is cancelled.
This device has Blink function. Blink function can set each segment port individually.
Blink ON/OFF and Blink frequency are set by the BLKSET command.
Blink frequency varies according to fCLK characteristics.
Blink setup of each segment is controlled by BLKWR command.
The write start address is specified by “BLKADSET” command. And this address will automatically increment every 4 bits
of blink data received. The relation of BLKWR command, blink ram data, and blinking segment port is below.
In case data is “1”, segment will blink, on the other hand when data is “0”, segment will not blink.
(In case data is written continuously after write data at 1Ah (SEG26), RAM data will be written to 1Bh (dummy address)
and return to address 00h (SEG0) automatically.)
Please refer to the following figures about Blink operation of each segment.
In case SEG port assigned to GPO port by OUTSET command, corresponding SEG address does not change and used

In this case DDRAM address and Blink RAM address, selected GPO output mode is dummy address.
The output state of GPO and LED port under the INHb H/L, display on/off, and RESET state are listed below.
2nd and 3rd byte command data are able to set from 00h to 3Fh (described as 8bit binary data).
In case other value is selected, sending command is ignored, and 2nd and 3rd byte command data is set to 3Fh.
In default state, 2nd and 3rd byte command data are set to 00h.
In case command is less than 3 bytes, sending command is cancelled.
According to PWMSET command, LED driving signal is adjustable. PWM “H” width is adjustable by 8-bit resolution.
Explanation about P7 to P6 data of 2nd byte command and P5 to P0 data of 3rd byte command are as follows:
(The 2nd byte data are used as upper 2bit, and 3rd byte data are used as lower 6 bits.)
8bit mode: P7 data is used as MSB of 8 bits, and P0 data is used LSB.
LED driving period is decided by the “H” width of PWM signal, generated by PWM generator circuit (resolution: 8 bits).
Ex)
In case, external PWM clock 125KHz, parameter setting value is 127 ( 7Fh )
1-bit resolution: 8us
ALL HI set: PWM signal frequency about 500Hz, H width about 2.00msec
ALL LOW set: PWM signal frequency about 500Hz, H width 0usec (in case 8-bit resolution)
This command is reflected, synchronizing with a next PWM frame head.
And, LED port output is as follows. LED port operation does not affect Display ON/OFF state.
(*) About the PWM frequency and PWM “H” width calculation.
PWM cycle and PWM “H” width, decided by PWM clock cycle are described as follows:
(PWM clock cycle is a minimum unit of PWM “H” width)
In case PWM is generated from internal clock, the PWM cycle varies according to OSC frequency.
PWM (ALL HI)
PWM (ALL Low)
PWM frequency = PWM clock cycle × (Number of the steps (8bit =256) - 1 )
PWM H width = PWM clock cycle × Parameter set value (8bit: 0 to 255)
PWM Duty = PWM H width/PWM cycle = Parameter set value / Number of the steps

Figure 20. Recommended sequence when input ports are pulled down
BU97930MUV adopts a 5V tolerant I/O for the digital input. This circuit includes a bus-hold function to keep
HIGH level. A pull down resistor of below 10KΩshall be connected to the input terminals for transitions
from HIGH to LOW because the bus-hold transistor turns on during the input’s HIGH level. (Refer to the
Figure 5; I/O Equivalent Circuit)
A higher resistor than 10KΩ(approximate) causes input terminals being steady by intermediate potential between HIGH
and LOW level so unexpected current is consumed by the system.
The potential depends on the pull down resistance and bus-hold transistor’s resistance.
As the bus-hold transistor turns off upon the input level is cleared to LOW, a higher resistor can be used as a pull down
resistor if MPU sets SD and SCL lines to LOW before it releases the lines.
The LOW period preceding MPU’s bus release shall be at least 50ns as same as a minimum CLK width ( tSLW ).
Operating the IC over the absolute maximum ratings may damage the IC. The damage can e ither be a short circuit
between pins or an open circuit between pins. Therefore, it is important to consider circuit protection measures, such as
adding a fuse, in case the IC is operated over the absolute maximum ratings.
(2) Recommended operating conditions
These conditions represent a range within which the expected char acteristics of the IC can be approximately o btained.
The electrical characteristics are guaranteed under the conditions of each parameter.
(3) Reverse connection of power supply
Connecting the po wer supply in reverse polarity can damage the IC. Take precautions against reverse polarity when
connecting the power supply, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power supply
terminals
(4) Power supply lines
Design the PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance ground and supply lines. Separate the ground and supply lines
of the digital and analog blocks to prevent noise in the ground an d supply lines of the digital block from affecting the
analog block. Furthermore, connect a capacitor to ground at all power supply pins. Consider the effect of temperature
and aging on the capacitance value when using electrolytic capacitors.
(5) Ground Voltage
The voltage of the ground pin must be the lowest voltage of all pins of the IC at all operating conditions. Ensure that no
pins are at a voltage below the ground pin at any time, even during transient condition.
Datasheet
(6) Short between pins and mounting errors
Be careful when mounting the IC on printed circuit boards. The IC may be damaged if it is mounted in a wrong
orientation or if pins are shorted together. Short circuit may be caused by conductive particles caught between the pins.
(7) Operation under strong electromagnetic field
Operating the IC in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field may cause the IC to malfunction.
(8) Testing on application boards
When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a c apacitor directly to a low-impedance output p in may subject
the IC to stress. Always discharge capacitors completely after each process or step. The IC’s power supply should
always be turned off completely before connecting or removing it from the test setup during the inspection process. To
prevent damage from static discharge, ground the IC during assembly and use similar precautions during transport and
storage.
(9) Regarding input pins of the IC
In the construction of this IC, P-N junctions are inevitably formed creating parasitic diodes or transistors. The operation
of these parasitic elements can result in mutual interference among circuits, operational faults, or physical damage.
Therefore, conditions which cause these parasitic elements to operate, such as applying a voltage to an input pin lower
than the GND voltage should be avoided. Furthermore, do not apply a v oltage to the input terminals when no power
supply voltage is applied to the IC. Even if the power supply voltage is applied, make sure that the in put terminals have
voltages within the values specified in the electrical characteristics of this IC.
(10) GND wiring pattern
When using both small-signal and large-current GND traces , the two ground traces should be routed separately but
connected to a single ground at the reference point of the applic ation board to avoid fluctuations in the small-signal
ground caused by large currents. Also ensure that the GND traces of external compone nts do not cause variations on
the GND voltage. The power supply and ground lines must be as short and thick as possible to reduce line impedance.
(11) External Capacitor
When using a ceramic capacitor, determine the dielectric constant considering the change of capacitance with
temperature and the decrease in nominal capacitance due to DC bias and others.
(12) Unused input terminals
Input terminals of an IC are often connected to the gate of a CMOS transistor. The gate has extremely high impeda nce
and extremely low capacitance. If left unconnected, the electric field from the outside can easily charge it. The small
charge acquired in this way is enough to produce a signific ant effect on the conduction through the transistor an d cause
unexpected operation of IC. So unless otherwise specified, input terminals not bei ng used should be connected to the
power supply or ground line.
(13) Rush current
When power is first supplied to the IC, rush current may flow instantaneously. It is possible that the charge current to the
parasitic capacitance of internal photo diode or the internal logic may be unstable. Therefore, give special consideration
to power coupling capacitance, power wiring, width of GND wiring, and routing of connections.

6) In particular, if a transient load (a large amount of load applied in a short per iod of time, such as pulse) is applied,
confirmation of performance characteristics after on-board mounting is strongly recomm ended. Avoid applying power
exceeding normal rated power; exceeding the power ratin g under steady-state loading condition may negatively affect
product performance and reliability.
7) De-rate Power Dissipation (Pd) dependi ng on Ambient temp erature (T a). When used i n sealed area, co nfirm the actual
ambient temperature.
8) Confirm that operati on temperature is within the specified range described in the product specification.
9) ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for failure induced under deviant condition from what is defined in
this document.
1) When a highly active halogenous (chlorine, bromine, etc.) flux is used, the residue of flux may negatively affect prod uct
performance and reliability.
2) In principle, the reflow soldering method must be used; if flow soldering method is pref erred, please consult with the
ROHM representative in advance.
