DESCRIPTION
The DLR/DLO/DLG3416 is a four character 5x7 dot matrix display module
with a built-in CMOS integrated circuit. This display is a “drop-in” replace-
ment for the DL3416.
The integrated circuit contains memory, ASCII ROM decoder, multiplexing
circuitry and drivers. Data entry is asynchronous and can be random. A dis-
play system can be built using any number of DLX3416s since each charac-
ter 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 four chip enables, four displays (16 characters)
can easily be interconnected without a decoder.
Data lines are connected to all DLX3416s 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 character position to illuminate at
half brightness. The cursor is not a character, and when removed the previ-
ously displayed character will reappear.
The DLX3416 has several features superior to competitive devices. True
“blanking” allows the designer to dim the display for more flexibility of dis-
play presentation. Finally the CLR clear function will clear the cursor RAM
and the ASCII character RAM simultaneously.
The character set consists of 128 special ASCII characters for English, Ger-
man, Italian, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.
All products are subjected to out-going AQL’s of 0.25% for brightness match-
ing, visual alignment and dimensions, 0.065% for electrical and functional.

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
µ
s. All illuminated dots will be
turned off within one complete display multiplex cycle,
1 msec minimum. The clear function will clear both the
ASCII RAM and the cursor RAM.
Loading Cursor
Setting the chip enables (CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4) 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 cursor(s) or the
characters will appear. CUE does not affect the con-
tents of cursor memory.
Note: 1. T
ACC
=Set Up Time + Write Time + Hold Time.
Loading Data
Setting the chip enable (CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4) to their true state will
enable loading. The desired data code (D0-D6) and digit address (A0,
A1) must be held stable during the write cycle for storing new data.

Display Blanking
Blank the display 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 display can be achieved by
pulsing (BL). A flashing circuit can be constructed using a 555
a stable multivibrator. Figure 3 illustrates a circuit in which vary-
ing R2 (100K~10K) will have a flash rate of 1 Hz~10 Hz.
Figure 3. Flashing circuit using a 555
VCC=5.0 V
The display can be dimmed by pulsing (BL) line at a frequency
sufficiently fast to not interfere with the internal clock. The dim-
ming 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 4. Adjusting potentiometer R3 will dim the dis-
play by changing the blanking pulse duty cycle.
