ML9204-xx
Preliminary
5
× 7 Dot Character × 24-Digit × 2-Line Display Controller/Driver with Character RAM (Built-in Key Scan)
1/41
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML9204-xx is a 5
× 7 dot matrix type vacuum fluorescent display tube controller driver IC which displays
characters, numerics and symbols of a maximum of 24 digits
× 2 lines.
Dot matrix vacuum fluorescent display tube drive signals are generated by serial data sent from a
micro-controller. A display system is easily realized by internal ROM and RAM for character display.
Built-in key scan for 3-channel encoder type rotary switch and 5
× 6 matrix key switch allow the user to receive
each switch input.
The ML9204-xx has low power consumption since it is made by CMOS process technology.
–01 is available as a general-purpose code.
Custom codes are provided on customer’s request.
FEATURES
