VFD Driver/Controller IC

PT6312B

DESCRIPTION
PT6312B is a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) Controller driven on a 1/4 to 1/11 duty factor. Eleven
segment output lines, 6 grid output lines, 5 segment/grid output drive lines, one display memory,
control circuit, key scan circuit are all incorporated into a single chip to build a highly reliable peripheral
device for a single chip micro computer. Serial data is fed to PT6312B via a three-line serial interface.
It is housed in a 44-pin plastic LQFP Package and is functionally compatible with pD16312.
