DESCRIPTION
The DLR/DLO/DLG2416 is a four digit 5 x 7 dot matrix display module
with a built-in CMOS integrated circuit. This display is X/Y stackable.
The integrated circuit contains memory, ASCII ROM decoder, multi-
plexing circuitry and drivers. Data entry is asynchronous and can be
random. A display system can be built using any number of DLX2416s
since each digit can be addressed independently and will continue to
display the character last stored until replaced by another.
System interconnection is very straightforward. The least significant
two address bits (A0, A1) are normally connected to the like-named
inputs of all displays in the system. With two chip enables (CE1 and
CE2) four displays (16 characters) can easily be interconnected with-
out a decoder.
Data lines are connected to all DLX2416s directly and in parallel, as is the
write line (WR). The display will then behave as a write-only memory.
The cursor function causes all dots of a digit position to illuminate at
half brightness. The cursor is not a character, and when removed the
previously displayed character will reappear.
The DLX2416 has several features superior to competitive devices.
True “blanking” allows the designer to dim the display for more flexi-
bility of display presentation. Finally the CLR clear function will clear
the cursor RAM and the ASCII character RAM simultaneously.

Loading Data
Setting the chip enable (CE1, CE2) to their true state will
enable data loading. The desired data code (D0-D6) and digit
address (A0, A1) must be held stable during the write cycle for
storing new data.
Data entry may be asynchronous and random. Digit 0 is defined
as right hand digit with A1=A2=0.`
To clear the entire internal four-digit memory hold the clear
(CLR) low for 1.0
µs.
All illuminated dots will be turned off
within one complete display multiplex cycle, 1.0 msec mini-
mum. The clear function will clear both the ASCII RAM and
the cursor RAM.
Loading Cursor
Setting the chip enables (CE1, CE2) and cursor select (CU) to
their true state will enable cursor loading. A write (WR) pulse
will now store or remove a cursor into the digit location
addressed by A0, A1, as defined in data entry. A cursor will be
stored if D0=1 and will removed if D0=0. The cursor (CU) pulse
width should not be less than the write (WR) pulse or errone-
ous data may appear in the display.
If the cursor is not required, the cursor enable signal (CUE) may
be tied low to disable the cursor function. For a flashing cursor,
simply pulse CUE. If the cursor has been loaded to any or all
positions in the display, then CUE will control whether the cur-
sor(s) or the characters will appear. CUE does not affect the
contents of cursor memory.
Display Blanking
Blanking the display may be accomplished by loading a blank or
space into each digit of the display or by using the (BL) display
blank input.
Setting the (BL) input low does not affect the contents of either
data or cursor memory.
A flashing circuit can easily be constructed using a 555 as table
multivibrator. Figure 4 illustrates a circuit in which varying R2
(100K~10K) will have a flash rate of 1.0 Hz~10 Hz.
The display can be dimmed by pulse width modulating the (BL)
at a frequency sufficiently fast to not interfere with the internal
clock. The dimming signal frequency should be 2.5 kHz or
higher. Dimming the display also reduces power consumption.
An example of a simple dimming circuit using a 556 is illus-
trated in Figure 5. Adjusting potentiometer R3 will dim the dis-
play by changing the blanking pulse duty cycle.
