The eight 0.180" (4.57 mm) high digits are packaged in a rugged, high quality, optically transparent, plastic 26 pin DIP with 0.3" pin spacing. The on-board CMOS has a 280 bit RAM, one bit associated with one LED, each to generate User Defined Characters. The SCE578X is designed to work with the serial port of most common microprocessors. Data is transferred into the display through the Serial Data Input (DATA), clocked by the Serial Data Clock (SDCLK), and enabled by the Load Input (LOAD). The Clock I/O (CLK I/O) and Clock Select (CLK SEL) pins offer the user the capability to supply a high speed external multiplex clock. This feature can minimize audio in-band interference for portable communication equipment or eliminate the visual synchronization effects found in high vibration environments such as avionic equipment. The prescaler function allows for a higher speed external multiplex clock when set to divide by 16. 2-187 Maximum Rating VCC, Logic Supply Voltage (non-operating) .. -0.5 to +7.0 VDC VLL, LED Supply Voltage (non-operating) ....... -0.5 to 5.5 VDC Input Voltage Levels Relative to Ground...............................................-0.5 to VCC+0.5 VDC Operating Temperature(1) ............................... -40C to +85C Storage Temperature ..................................... -40C to +100C Maximum Solder Temperature 0.063" below Seating Plane, t<5 sec....................................... 260C Relative Humidity at 85C.................................................. 85% Maximum Power Dissipation 70C ............................................................................. 1.7 W 85C ........................................................................... 1.25 W ESD (100 pF, 1.5 K)......................................................... 2 KV Maximum Input Current .............................................. 100 mA Switching Specifications (over operating temperature range and VCC=4.5 V to 5.5 V) Note: 1.

The first IC controls characters 0 through 3 and the second IC controls characters 4 through 7. These components are assembled in a compact plastic package. 1=Display dot "On" 0=Display dot "Off' Individual LED dot addressability allows the user great freedom in creating special characters or mini-icons. The serial data interface provides a highly efficient interconnection between the display and the mother board. The SCE578X requires a minimum three input lines as compared to fourteen for an equivalent eight character parallel input part. The on-board CMOS IC is the electronic heart of the display. Each IC accepts serially formatted data, which is stored in the internal RAM. The IC accepts data based on the character address selected. The first IC is selected when addressing characters 0 through 3, the second IC is selected when addressing characters 4 though 7, and both ICs are selected when the Control Word is addressed. Column Data Ranges Row 0 00H to 1FH Row 1 00H to 1FH Row 2 00H to 1FH Row 3 00H to 1FH Row 4 00H to 1FH Row 5 00H to 1FH Row 6 00H to 1FH Asynchronously the RAM is read by the character multiplexer at a strobe rate that results in a flicker free display. Figure 6 shows the three functional areas of the IC. These include: the input serial data register and control logic, a 140 bit two port RAM, and an internal multiplexer/display driver. The second IC is identical except characters 4 though 7 are driven. Figure 6.

See Table 3 for the column data format. If an address is loaded before all seven rows are written, the next column data will be loaded into Row 0 of the new address. The remaining rows of the old address are not changed. The following explains how to format the serial data to be loaded into the display. The user supplies a string of bit mapped decoded characters. The contents of this string is shown in Figure 7a. Figure 7b shows that each character consist of eight 8 bit words. The first word encodes the display character location and the succeeding seven bytes are row data. The row data represents the status (On, Off) of individual column LEDs. Figure 7c shows that each 8 bit word is formatted to represent Character Address, or Column Data. Table 7 shows the Row Address for the example character, "D." Column data is written and read asynchronously from the 280 bit RAM. Once loaded, the internal oscillator and character multiplexer reads the data from the RAM. These characters are row strobed with column data as shown in Figures 8 and 9. The character strobe rate is determined by the internal or user supplied external MUX Clock and the ICs/ 320 counter. Figure 7d shows the sequence for loading the bytes of data. Bringing the LOAD line low enables the serial register to accept data. The shift action occurs on the low to high transition of the serial data clock (SDCLK). The least significant bit (D0) is loaded first. After eight clock pulses the LOAD line is brought high. With this transition the OPCODE is decoded. The decoded OPCODE directs D4-D0 to be latched in the Character Address register, stored in the RAM as Column data, or latched in the Control Word register. The control IC requires a minimum 600 ns delay between successive byte loads. As indicated in Figure 7a, a total of 512 bits of data are required to load all eight characters into the display. Table 7. Character "D" Column Data D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 C0 C1 C2 C3 C4 Op code D7 D6 D5 The Character Address Register selects the character address that the row and column data will be written to. See Table 2 for opcode and character addressing. After loading the Character Address Register, the next seven bytes load the column data, one row at a time, starting with row 0 (top row) and ending with row 6 (bottom row). Each character address has a 7 x 5 bit User RAM formatted as seven rows, each containing five column data bits.

When EFHEX is loaded (Table 5) the display is set to 0% brightness. When in the Power Down mode data may still be written into the RAM. The display is reactivated by loading a new brightness Level Control Word into the display. The user can select eight specific LED brightness levels, Table 4. Depending on how D3 is selected either one (1) for maximum peak current or zero (0) for 12.5% of maximum peak current in the control word per Table 4a and 4b, the user can select 16 specific LED brightness levels. These brightness levels (in percentages of full brightness of the display) depending on how the user selects D3 can be one (1) or zero (0) are as follows: 100% (E0HEX or E8HEX), 53% (E1HEX or E9HEX), 40% (E2HEX or EAHEX ), 27% (E3HEX or EBHEX ), 20% (E4HEX or ECHEX ), 13% (E5HEX or EDHEX), and 6.6% (E6HEX or EEHEX ), 0.0% (E7HEX or EFHEX ). The brightness levels are controlled by changing the duty factor of the row strobe pulse. Table 5.

The display is blanked and the Character Address Register will be set to Character 0. The internal counter and the Control Word Register are unaffected. The Software Clear will remain active until the next data input cycle is initiated. 1 LOAD ROW 6 Row 0 The SCE578X allows a high frequency external oscillator source to drive the display. Data bit, D4, in the control word format controls the prescaler function. The prescaler allows the oscillator source to be divided by 16 by setting D4=1. However, the prescaler should not be used, i.e., when using the internal oscillator source. 1 LOAD ROW 5 Row 0 0 1 2 3 4 Columns Op code D7 D6 LOAD ROW 4 Row 0 PD=N * ILL/140 * RB where: N=number of LEDs on ILL/140=average current for a single LED RB=relative brightness level A typical thermal resistance vaule (ja) for this display is 50c/W when mounted in a socket soldered ona 0.062" thick PCB with 0.020", 1 ounce copper traces and the display covered by a plastic filter. The display's maximum IC junction temperature is 125C. Paragraph 6.2.5, Power Deration Curve is based on these typical values. Figure 10. Power Deration Curve (ja=50C/W) 2.5 Multiplexer and Display Driver An asynchronous hardware Reset (pin 8) is also provided. Bringing this pin low will clear the Character Address Register, Control Word Register, RAM, and blanks the display. This action leaves the display set at Character Address 0, and the Brightness Level set at 100%, prescaler / 1. ELECTRICAL & MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS Thermal Considerations The display's power usage may need to be reduced to operate at high ambient temperatures. The power may be reduced by lowering the brightness level. reducing the total number of LEDs illuminated, or lowering VLED. The VCC supply, relative to the VLED supply, has little effect on the power dissipation of the display and is not considered when determining the power dissipation. 2.0 1.5 Watts The eight characters are row multiplexed with RAM resident column data. The strobe rate is established by the internal or external MUX Clock rate. The MUX Clock frequency is divided by a 320 counter chain. This results in a typical strobe rate of 768 Hz. By pulling the Clock SEL line low, the display can be operated from an external MUX Clock. The external clock is attached to the CLK I/O connection. 1.0 0.5 0.0 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Temperature VCC and VLL are two separate power supplies sharing a common ground. VCC supplies power for all the display logic. VLL supplies the power for the LEDs. By separating the two supplies, VCCand VLL can be varied independently and keeps the logic supply clean. VLL can be varied between 3 volts and 5.5 volts. The LED drive current will vary with changes in VLL. See Figure 11 for ILL variance. VCC can vary between 3 volts and 5.5 volts. Operation below 4.5 volts will change the timing and switching levels of the inputs. Using 25% x VCC for VIL and 75% of VCC for VIH will work down to a VCC level of 3 volts. Tot determine the power deration with a given ambient temperature, use the following formula: Tjmax=TA + PD * ja SCE5780/1/2/3/4/5 2-195 Figure 11. ILL Variance Post Solder Cleaning Procedures 1.4 The least offensive cleaning solution is hot D.I. water (60C) for less than 15 minutes. Addition of mild saponifers is acceptable. Do not use commercial dishwasher detergents. 1.2 Icc 1 For faster cleaning, solvents may be used. Exercise care in choosing solvents as some may chemically attack the nylon package. For further information refer to Appnotes 18 and 19 in the current Siemens Optoelectronic Data Book. See Appnote 19, Table 1, "Displays-Group 2." 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 3.00 3.25 3.50 3.75 4.00 4.25 4.50 4.75 5.00 5.25 5.50 Vcc Interconnect Considerations Optimum product performance can be had when the following electrical and mechanical recommendations are adopted. The SCE578X's IC is constructed in a high speed CMOS process, consequently high speed noise on the SERIAL DATA, SERIAL DATA CLOCK, LOAD and RESET lines may cause incorrect data to be written into the serial shift register. Adhere to transmission line termination procedures when using fast line drivers and long cables (>10 cm). Good ground (pin 2) and power supply decoupling (pins 9 and 10) will insure that Icc (<800 mA peak) switching currents do not generate localized ground bounce. Therefore it is recommended that each display package use a 0.1F and 20 F tanulum capacitor between VCC and ground. When the internal MUX Clock is being used connect the CLKSEL pin to VCC. In those applications where RESET will not be connected to the system's reset control, it is recommended that this pin be connected to the center node of a series 0.1, F and 100 K RC network. Thus upon initial power up the RESET will be held low for 10 ms allowing adequate time for the system power supply to stabilize. ESD Protection The input protection structure of the SCE578X provides significant protection against ESD damage. It is capable of withstanding discharges greater than 2 KV. Take all the standard precautions, normal for CMOS components. These include properly grounding personnel, tools, tables, and transport carriers that come in contact with unshielded parts. If these conditions are not, or cannot be met, keep the leads of the device shorted together or the parts in anti-static packaging. An alternative to soldering and cleaning the display modules is to use sockets. Naturally, 14 pin DIP sockets .300" wide with .100" centers work well for single displays. Multiple display assemblies are best handled by longer SIP sockets or DIP sockets when available for uniform package alignment. Socket manufacturers are Aries Electronics, Inc., Frenchtown, NJ; Garry Manufacturing, New Brunswick, NJ; Robinson-Nugent, New Albany, IN; and Samtec Electronic Hardward, New Albany, IN. For further information refer to Appnote 22 in the current Siemens Optoelectronic Data Book. Optical Considerations The 0.180" high character of the SCE578X gives readability up to five feet. Proper filter selection enhances readability over this distance. Using filters emphasizes the contrast ratio between a lit LED and the character background. This will increase the discrimination of different characters. The only limitation is cost. Take into consideration the ambient lighting environment for the best cost/benefit ratio for filters. Incandescent (with almost no green) or fluorescent (with almost no red) lights do not have the flat spectral response of sunlight. Plastic band-pass filters are an inexpensive and effective way to strengthen contrast ratios. The SCE5780 is a red display and should be used with long wavelength pass filter having a sharp cut-off in the 600 nm to 620 nm range. The SCE5782 is a high efficiency red display and should be used with long wavelength pass filter having a sharp cut-off in the 570 nm to 600 nm range. The SCE5784 is a high efficiency green display and should be used with long wavelength pass filter that peaks at 565 nm. The SCE578X can be hand soldered with SN63 solder using a grounded iron set to 260C. Additional contrast enhancement is gained by shading the displays. Plastic band-pass filters with built-in louvers offer the next step up in contrast improvement. Plastic filters can be improved further with anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare. The trade-off is fuzzy characters. Mounting the filters close to the display reduces this effect. Take care not to overheat the plastic filter by allowing for proper air flow. Wave soldering is also possible following these conditions: Preheat that does not exceed 93C on the solder side of the PC board or a package surface temperature of 85C. Water soluble organic acid flux (except carboxylic acid) or resinbased RMA flux without alcohol can be used. Optimal filter enhancements are gained by using circular polarized, anti-reflective, band-pass filters. The circular polarizing further enhances contrast by reducing the light that travels through the filter and reflects back off the display to less than 1%. Wave temperature of 245C 5C with a dwell between 1.5 sec. to 3.0 sec. Exposure to the wave should not exceed temperatures above 260C for five seconds at 0.063" below the seating plane. The packages should not be immersed in the wave. Several filter manufacturers supply quality filter materials. Some of them are: Panelgraphic Corporation, W. Caldwell, NJ; SGL Homalite, Wilmington, DE; 3M Company, Visual Products Division, St. Paul, MN; Polaroid Corporation, Soldering Considerations SCE5780/1/2/3/4/5 2-196 St. Paul, MN; Polaroid Corporation, Polarizer Division, Cambridge, MA; Marks Polarized Corporation, Deer Park, NY, Hoya Optics, Inc., Fremont, CA. One last note on mounting filters: recessing displays and bezel assemblies is an inexpensive way to provide a shading effect in overhead lighting situations. Several Bezel manufacturers are: R.M.F. Products, Batavia, IL; Nobex Components, Griffith Plastic Corp., Burlingame, CA; Photo Chemical Products of California, Santa Monica, CA; I.E.E.Atlas, Van Nuys, CA. Microprocessor Interface The microprocessor interface is through the serial port, SPI port or one out of eight data bits on the eight bit parallel port and also control lines SDCLK and LOAD. Power Up Sequence Upon power up display will come on at random. Thus the display should be reset at power-up. The reset will set the Address Register to Digit 0, User RAM is set to 0 (display blank) the Control Word is set to 0 (100% brightness) and the internal counters are reset. Loading Data into the Display Use following procedure to load data into the display: 1. Power up the display. 2. Bring RST low (600 ns duration minimum) to clear the Multiplex Counter, Address Register, Control Word Register, User Ram and Data Register. The display will be blank. Display brightness is set to 100%. 3. If a different brightness is desired, load the proper brightness opcode into the Control Word Register. 4. Load the Digit Address into the display. 5. Load display row and column data for the selected digit. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all digits.
