GENERAL DESCRIPTION
32-Bit Duplex/Triplex VFD Controller/Driver with Digital Dimming, ADC and Keyscan
The ML9222 is a full CMOS controller/driver for Duplex or Triplex vacuum fluorescent display
tube. It conststs of 32-segment driver outputs and 3-grid pre-driver outputs, so that it can drive
directly up to 96-segment VFD.
ML9222 features a digital dimming function, a 8-ch ADC, a 5
¥
5 keyscan circuit and an encoder
type switch interface.
ML9222 provides an interface with a microcontroller only by four signal lines: DATA I/O,
CLOCK, CS and INT.
