GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEDL9227-01
Issue Date:Dec., 18, 2002
27-Bit Duplex/Triplex VFD Controller/Driver with Digital Dimming, ADC and Key scan
The ML9227 is a full CMOS controller/driver for Duplex or Triplex vacuum fluorescent display tube. It conststs
of 27-segment driver outputs and 3-grid pre-driver outputs, so that it can drive directly up to 81-segment VFD.
ML9227 features a digital dimming function, a 6-ch ADC, a 5
×
5 key scan circuit and an encoder type switch
interface.
ML9227 provides an interface with a microcontroller only by three signal lines: DATA I/O, CLOCK, CS.
