General Description
The TP6311 is a VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) controller/driver that is driven on a 1/8 to 1/16-duty factor. It consists of 12 segment output lines, 8 grid output lines, 8 segment/grid output drivelines, a display memory, a control circuit, and a key scan circuit. Serial data is input to TP6311 through a three-line serial interface. This VFD controller/driver is ideal as a peripheral device of a single-chip microcomputer.

FEATUREs
● Multiple display modes (12-segment & 16-digit to 20-segment & 8-digit)
● Key scanning (12×4 matrices)
● Dimming circuit (eight steps)
● High-voltage output (VDD – 35V max)
● LED ports (5 chs, 20 mA max)
● General-purpose input port (4 bits)
● No external resistor necessary for driver outputs (P-ch open-drain + pull-down resistor output)
● Serial interface (CLK, STB, DIN, DOUT)

APPLICATION
    For DVD, VCR, SVCD and Power Amplifier.
