GENERAL DESCRIPTION Introduction This specification describes the interface requirements and features of a two-line Vacuum Fluorescent Display, 20 characters wide. The characters are formed using a 5x7 dot matrix. Application This unit may be used as a console display which provides alphanumeric information that is easily readable in high ambient light.
THEORY OF OPERATION (Dot Matrix Displays) The Vacuum Fluorescent Display array consists of three basic electrodes which are enclosed in an evacuated glass chamber. The first electrode is the filament, which spans the entire length of the display, and is made from a small diameter oxide coated tungsten wire.
OPERATION Loading ASCII Character Data All printing characters are in locations from 20 (HEX) to 7F (HEX), and from A0 (HEX) to FF (HEX). Control character assignments are as follows. Control Codes NOTE: CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO SEND UNDEFINED CONTROL OR COMMAND CODES TO THE FLIP DISPLAY MODULE AS THIS MAY CAUSE A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION OF THE MODULE.

Alternate Character Codes Not available at this time. External Font Loading (5 X 7 Dot Matrix) One or more characters may be replaced temporarily (until power-off or reset) by user-defined down-loaded character patterns. To do so, enter the following sequence of commands and data: BYTE DESCRIPTION Start load 18 (HEX)
Dedicated Hardware Lines RESET 4.8.1 RESET RESET Hardware is available on J1-14. Setting low for greater than 50µS will clear the display and set the cursor to the upper left character (power-up condition). Sinking current must be able to discharge a 1µF capacitor connected internally.
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Power ON / OFF Sequence There are no deleterious effects associated with power ON and OFF of this display; however, rapid ON/OFF sequencing is not recommended. The power/data connector should not be connected/disconnected while power is applied. CAUTION: Do not apply data or strobe signals unless logic power is also applied; otherwise, the input circuits may be damaged.
