3216 BICOLOR LED 3MM (5MM) DOT MATRIX DISPLAY INFORMATION BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 2. Hardware Detail 2.1 Hardware 8 pieces of 8*8 bicolor LED dot matrix Light-emitting diameter of DE-DP14112 is 3mm. Light-emitting diameter of DE-DP14211 is 5mm. LED drive chip (U2, U3, U5, and U6): four HT1632C chips, QFP packaging.
3216 Bicolor LED 3mm (5mm) Dot Matrix Display Information Board 2.3 Display Memory Display is controlled by modifying the data stored in RAM of HT1632Cs. Every two 8*8 dot matrix displays on the board are controlled by one HT1632C, as shown in the following figure 2-2.
HT1632C. When the transmission is complete, CS must be reset to high. Enabling U2 (HT1632C) to individually send data to some address space is taken as an example. The timing diagram is shown as follows: 2004-2009 Sure Electronics Inc DE-DP14112&DE-DP14211_Ver1.1_Page 8...
