ESD WARNING: STANDARD CMOS HANDLING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED
WITH THE HPDL-1414.
Description
The HPDL-1414 is a smart, four character, sixteen-
segment, red GaAsP display. The HPDL-1414 has a
character height of 2.85 mm (0.112"). The on-board
CMOS IC contains memory , ASCII decoder, multiplex-
ing circuitry and drivers. The monolithic LED characters
are magnified by an immersion lens which increases
both character size and luminous intensity. The
encapsulated dual-in-line package provides a rugged,
environmentally sealed unit.
The HPDL-1414 incorporates many improvements
over competitive products. It has a wide operating
temperature range, very fast IC access time, and
improved ESD protection. The displays are also fully
TTL compatible, wave solderable, and highly reliable.
These displays are ideally suited for industrial and
commercial applications where a good-looking, easy-
to-use alphanumeric display is required.

Electrical Description
Display Internal Block Diagram
HPDL-1414
Figure 1 shows the internal block
diagram of the HPDL-1414. It
consists of two parts: the display
LEDs and the CMOS IC. The
CMOS IC consists of a four-word
ASCII memory, a 64-word charac-
ter generator, 1 7 segment drivers,
four digit drivers, and the
scanning circuitry necessary to
multiplex the four monolithic
LED characters. In normal
operation, the divide-by-four
counter sequentially accesses
each of the four RAM locations
and simultaneously enables the
appropriate display digit driver.
The output of the RAM is decoded
by the character generator which,
in turn, enables the appropriate
display segment drivers. Seven-
bit ASCII data is stored in RAM.
Since the display uses a 64-
character decoder, half of the
possible 128 input combinations
are invalid. For each display
location where D5 = D6 in the
ASCII RAM, the display character
is blanked.
Data Entry HPDL-1414
Figure 2 shows a truth table for
the HPDL-1414. Data is loaded
into the display through the
DATA inputs (D6-D0), ADDRESS
inputs (A1-A0), and WRITE (WR).
After a character has been
written to memory, the IC
decodes the ASCII data, drives
the display and refreshes it
without any external hardware or
software.

Optical Considerations/Contrast
Enhancement
The HPDL-1414 display uses a
precision aspheric immersion
lens to provide excellent
readability and low off-axis
distortion. The aspheric lens
produces a magnified character
height of 2.85 mm (0.112 in.)
and a viewing angle of ±40°.
These features provide excellent
readability at distances up to 1.5
metres (4 feet).
Each display is tested for
luminous intensity and marked
with an intensity category on the
side of the display package. To
ensure intensity matching for
multiple package applications,
mixing intensity categories for a
given panel is not recommended.
The display is designed to
provide maximum contrast when
placed behind an appropriate
contrast enhancement filter. For
further information on contrast
enhancement, see Application
Note 1015.
Mechanical and Electrical
Considerations
The HPDL-1414 is a dual in-line
package that can be stacked
horizontally and vertically to
create arrays of any size. These
displays are designed to operate
continuously between –40°C to
+85°C with a maximum of 10
segments on per digit.
The HPDL-1414 is assembled by
die attaching and wire bonding
the four GaAsP/GaAs monolithic
LED chips and the CMOS IC to a
printed circuit board. An
immersion lens is formed by
placing the PC board assembly
into a nylon lens filled with
epoxy. Backfill epoxy environ-
mentally seals the display
package. This package
construction provides the display
with a high tolerance to
temperature cycling.
The inputs to the CMOS IC are
protected against static discharge
and input current latchup.
However, for best results
standard CMOS handling
precautions should be used. Prior
to use, the HPDL-1414 should be
stored in anti-static tubes or
conductive material. During
assembly a grounded conductive
work area should be used, and
assembly personnel should wear
conductive wrist straps. Lab
coats made of synthetic material
should be avoided since they are
prone to static charge build-up.
Input current latchup is caused
when the CMOS inputs are
subjected either to a voltage
below ground (VIN < ground) or
to a voltage higher than VDD
(VIN > VDD) and when a high
current is forced into the input.
To prevent input current latchup
and ESD damage, unused inputs
should be connected either to
ground or to VDD. Voltages should
not be applied to the inputs until
VDD has been applied to the
display. Transient input voltages
should be eliminated.
Soldering and Post Solder Cleaning
Instructions
The HPDL-1414 may be hand
soldered or wave soldered with
SN63 solder. Hand soldering may
be safely performed only with an
electronically temperature-
controlled and securely grounded
soldering iron. For best results,
the iron tip temperature should
be set at 315°C (600°F). For
wave soldering, a rosin-based
RMA flux can be used. The solder
wave temperature should be
245°C±5°C (473°F±9°F),
and the dwell in the wave should
be set at 11/2 to 3 seconds for
optimum soldering. Preheat
temperature should not exceed
93°C (200°F) as measured on the
solder side of the PC board.

soldering and post solder
cleaning, see Application Note
1027, Soldering LED
Components.
