The μPD16311 is a FIP (Fluorescent Indicator Panel or Vacuum Fluorescent Display) controller/driver that is driven on a 1/8- to 1/16 duty factor. It consists of 12 segment output lines, 8 grid output lines, 8 segment/grid output drive lines, a display memory, a control circuit, and a key scan circuit. Serial data is input to the μPD16311 through a three-line serial interface. This FIP controller/driver is ideal as a peripheral device of a single-chip microcomputer.
●FEATURES
