The IC accepts decoded serial data, which is stored in the internal RAM. Asynchronously the RAM is read by the character multiplexer at a strobe rate that results in a flicker free display. Figure 7 shows the three functional areas of the ICs. These include: the input serial data register and control logic, a 200 bits two port RAM, and an internal multiplexer/display driver. Figure 7.

The user supplies a string of bit mapped decoded characters. The contents of this string is shown in Figure 8a. Figure 8b shows that each character consist of six 8 bit words. The first word encodes the display character location and the succeeding five bytes are row data. The row data represents the status (On, Off) of individual column LEDs. Figure 9c shows that each that each 8 bit word is formatted to include a three bit Operational Code (OPCODE) defined by bits D7-D5 and five bits (D4-D0) representing Column Data, Character Address, or Control Word Data. The Character Address Register bits, D4-D0 (Table 2), and Row Address Register bits, D7-D5 (Table 3), direct the Column Data bits, D4-D0 (Table 3) to specific RAM location. Table 1 shows the Row Address for the example character "D." Column data is written and read asynchronously from the 200 bit RAM. Once loaded the internal oscillator and character multiplexer reads the data from the RAM. These characters are row strobed with column data as shown in Figures 10 and 11. The character strobe rate is determined by the internal or user supplied external MUX Clock and the IC's /320 counter. Figure 8d shows the sequence for loading the bytes of data. Bringing the LOAD line low enables the serial register to accept data. The shift action occurs on the low to high transition of the serial data clock (SDCLK). The least significant bit (D0) is loaded first. After eight clock pulses the LOAD line is brought high. With this transition the OPCODE is decoded. The decoded OPCODE directs D4-D0 to be latched in the Character Address register, stored in the RAM as Column data, or latched in the Control Word register. The control IC requires a minimum 600 ns delay between successive byte loads. As indicated in Figure 8a, a total of 528 bits of data are required to load all eight characters into the display.

Thus upon initial power up the RESET will be held low for 10 ms allowing adequate time for the system power supply to stabilize. The eight characters are row multiplexed with RAM resident column data. The strobe rate is established by the internal or external MUX Clock rate. The MUX Clock frequency is divided by a 320 counter chain. This results in a typical strobe rate of 750 Hz. By pulling the Clock SEL line low, the display can be operated from an external MUX Clock. The external clock is attached to the CLK I/O connection (pin 15). The maximum external MUX Clock frequency should be limited to 1.0 MHz. ESD Protection The input protection structure of the SCD558XA provides significant protection against ESD damage. It is capable of withstanding discharges greater than 2.0 kV. Take all the standard precautions, normal for CMOS components. These include properly grounding personnel, tools, tables, and transport carriers that come in contact with unshielded parts. If these conditions are not, or cannot be met, keep the leads of the device shorted together or the parts in anti-static packaging. An asynchronous hardware Reset (pin 13) is also provided. Bringing this pin low will clear the Character Address Register, Control Word Register, RAM, and blanks the display. This action leaves the display set at Character Address 0, and the Brightness Level set at 100%. Thermal Considerations Soldering Considerations The SCD558XA has been designed to provide lowest thermal resistance from the CMOS to the ground pin. The SCD558XA can be hand soldered with SN63 solder using a grounded iron set to 260C. The heat is then conducted through the traces on the users circuit board to free air. The max. IC operating temperature is 125C. Maximum. IC junction temperature is calculated using the following equation: TJ (IC) Max.=TA+(PD Max.) (RJ-PIN+RPIN-A) where RJ-PIN=35C/W. PD Max.=VCC Max.x ICC Max =5.5 Vx0.240=1.32 W. RPIN-A will depend on ground trace thickness, whether parts are soldered to the pcb or socketed and on air circulation. Wave soldering is also possible following these conditions: Preheat that does not exceed 93C on the solder side of the PC board or a package surface temperature of 85C. Water soluble organic acid flux (except carboxylic acid) or rosin-based RMA flux without alcohol can be used. Wave temperature of 245C 5C with a dwell between 1.5 sec. to 3.0 sec. Exposure to the wave should not exceed temperatures above 260C for five seconds at 0.063" below the seating plane. The packages should not be immersed in the wave. Post Solder Cleaning Procedures Electrical & Mechanical Considerations Interconnect Considerations The least offensive cleaning solution is hot D.I. water (60C) for less than 15 minutes. Addition of mild saponifiers is acceptable. Do not use commercial dishwasher detergents. Optimum product performance can be had when the following electrical and mechanical recommendations are adopted. The SCD558XA's ICs are constructed in a high speed CMOS process, consequently high speed noise on the SERIAL DATA, SERIAL DATA CLOCK, LOAD and RESET lines may cause incorrect data to be written into the serial shift register. Adhere to transmission line termination procedures when using fast line drivers and long cables (>10 cm). For faster cleaning, solvents may be used. Exercise care in choosing solvents as some may chemically attack the nylon package. Maximum exposure should not exceed two minutes at elevated temperatures. Acceptable solvents are TF (trichlorotrifluorethane), TA, 111 Trichloroethane, and unheated acetone. (1) Note: 1) Acceptable commercial solvents are: Basic TF, Arklone, P. Genesolv, D. Genesolv DA, Blaco-Tron TF, Blaco-Tron TA, and Freon TA. Good digital grounds (pins 14, 28) and power supply decoupling (pins 6, 9, 20, 23) will insure that ICC (<400 mA peak) switching currents do not generate localized ground bounce. Therefore it is recommended that each display package use a 0.1 F and 20 F capacitor between VCC and ground. Unacceptable solvents contain alcohol, methanol, methylene chloride, ethanol, TP35, TCM, TMC, TMS+, TE, or TES. Since many commercial mixtures exist, contact a solvent vendor for chemical composition information. Some major solvent manufacturers are: Allied Chemical Corporation, Specialty Chemical When the internal MUX Clock is being used, connect the CLKSEL pin to VCC and leave CLK I/O floating.

DuPont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, DE. Additional contrast enhancement is gained by shading the displays. Plastic band-pass filters with built-in louvers offer the next step up in contrast improvement. Plastic filters can be improved further with anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare. The trade-off is fuzzy characters. Mounting the filters close to the display reduces this effect. Take care not to overheat the plastic filter by allowing for proper air flow. For further information refer to Appnotes 18 and 19 at www.infineon.com/opto. An alternative to soldering and cleaning the display modules is to use sockets. Naturally, 28 pin DIP sockets .300" wide with .100" centers work well for single displays. Multiple display assemblies are best handled by longer SIP sockets or DIP sockets when available for uniform package alignment. Socket manufacturers are Aries Electronics, Inc., Frenchtown, NJ; Garry Manufacturing, New Brunswick, NJ; Robinson-Nugent, New Albany, IN; and Samtec Electronic Hardward, New Albany, IN. Optimal filter enhancements are gained by using circular polarized, anti-reflective, band-pass filters. The circular polarizing further enhances contrast by reducing the light that travels through the filter and reflects back off the display to less than 1%. Several filter manufacturers supply quality filter materials. Some of them are: Panelgraphic Corporation, W. Caldwell, NJ; SGL Homalite, Wilmington, DE; 3M Company, Visual Products Division, St. Paul, MN; Polaroid Corporation, Polarizer Division, Cambridge, MA; Marks Polarized Corporation, Deer Park, NY, Hoya Optics, Inc., Fremont, CA. For further information refer to Appnote 22 at www.infineon.com/opto. Optical Considerations One last note on mounting filters: recessing displays and bezel assemblies is an inexpensive way to provide a shading effect in overhead lighting situations. Several Bezel manufacturers are: R.M.F. Products, Batavia, IL; Nobex Components, Griffith Plastic Corp., Burlingame, CA; Photo Chemical Products of California, Santa Monica, CA; I.E.E.-Atlas, Van Nuys, CA. The 0.145" high character of the SCD558XA gives readability up to eight feet. Proper filter selection enhances readability over this distance. Using filters emphasizes the contrast ratio between a lit LED and the character background. This will increase the discrimination of different characters. The only limitation is cost. Take into consideration the ambient lighting environment for the best cost/benefit ratio for filters. Microprocessor Interface The microprocessor interface is through the serial port, SPI port or one out of eight data bits on the eight bit parallel port and also control lines SDCLK and LOAD. Incandescent (with almost no green) or fluorescent (with almost no red) lights do not have the flat spectral response of sunlight. Plastic band-pass filters are an inexpensive and effective way to strengthen contrast ratios. The SCD5580/2A are red/high efficiency red displays and should be matched with long wavelength pass filter in the 570 nm to 590 nm range. The SCD5583/4A should be matched with a yellow-green bandpass filter that peaks at 565 nm. For displays of multiple colors, neutral density grey filters offer the best compromise. Power Up Sequence Upon power up display will come on at random. Thus the display should be reset at power-up. The reset will set the Address Register to Digit 0, User RAM is set to 0 (display blank) the Control Word is set to 0 (100% brightness with Lamp Test off) and the internal counters are reset.

The display designated as the Master Clock source should have its CLK SEL pin tied high and the slaves should have their CLK SEL pins tied low. All CLK I/O pins should be tied together. One display CLK I/O can drive 15 slave CLK I/Os. Use RST to synchronize all display counters. Figure 14.
