Interface Signals
The interface of all CIG VFDs is "C-MOS" synchronous serial data. The adjacent table lists the functions of the interface signals. The input voltage levels are 2.4V minimum for High and 0.7V maximum for Low with respect to Vss (0V) when VDD1 is 5V.
Signal | Function *only where applicable | Description |
---|---|---|
CLK | Shift Register Clock | Serial Data Read and Shift at Rising Edge |
GCLK | Shift Register Clock for the Grid Driver * | |
SI | Serial Data Input | H=ON L=OFF |
GSI | Serial Data Input for the Grid Driver * | |
SO, GSO | Serial Data Output | Used for watchdog and verify. |
LAT | Data Latch Control | H=Transparent L=Latched |
GLAT | Data Latch Control for the Grid Driver * | |
BK | Driver Output Blanking Control | H=Output OFF L=Output ON |
GBK | Grid Driver Output Blanking Control * |
