ePVP6800
VFD Controller
1 General Description
The ePVP6800 is an 8-bit RISC type vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) controller equipped with low
power consumption and high speed CMOS technology. This integrated single chip features on_chip
watchdog timer (WDT), one time programming ROM (OTP), data RAM, programmable real time
clock/counter, internal interrupt, power down mode, IR detector, and high voltage output for VFD
application.
