2 Duplex Driver with Dimming, Keyscan and A/D Converter Function
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MSC1215-xx is a 1/2-duty vacuum fluorescent display tube driver implemented in Bi-
CMOS technology. This LSI consists of a 37-bit shift register, 34 latches, an analog dimming
circuit, (a PWM conversion circuit), a 3樓4 keyscan circuit, a 6ch-6-bit A/D converter and 17
segment drivers, and 2-grid pre-drivers.
The MSC1215-xx has capabilities of displaying audio system frequencies and various informa-
tions on a VFD tube for the automobile application and also interfacing with keyboard inputs and
on an analog volume input.
For automobile audio systems, the front panel functions (such as a frequency display, keyboard
input and analog voltage input from a volume) can be accomplished by this IC.
The analog dimming/PWM conversion modes can be selected automatically for the brightness
control, so this IC is applicable to any type of automobile without any change of the specifica-
tions.
The interface with a MCU can be done only with 3 wires (CS, DATA I/O and CLOCK signals).
Also, DATA I/O and CLOCK signal lines can be shared with other peripherals because of chip
select function by CS signal.
