Functional Description
This product is specifically designed to drive multiplexed or non-multiplexed high voltage alphanumeric or dot matrix vacuum fluorescent (VF) displays. Character generation is done externally in the microprocessor, with a serial data path to the display driver. The MM58342 uses three signals, DATA IN, CLOCK and ENABLE, where ENABLE acts as an external load signal. Display blanking can be achieved by means of the BLANKING CONTROL input, and a logic “1” will turn off all sections of the display. A block diagram of the MM58342 is shown in Figure 1.
FIGURE 2.
Figure 2 shows the pinout of the MM58342 device, where output 1 (pin 12) is equivalent to bit 1 (i.e., the first bit of data to be loaded into the shift register following ENABLE high). A logic “1” at the input will turn on the corresponding display digit/segment/dot output. A significant reduction in discrete board components can be achieved by use of the MM58342, because external

pull-down resistors are not required. Due to the nature of the output stage, both its on and off impedance values vary as a function of the display voltage applied. However, Figures 3, 4 show that this output impedance will remain constant for a fixed value of display voltage.
Figure 5 demonstrates the critical timing requirements between CLOCK and DATA IN for the MM58342. To clear (reset) the display driver at power on or any time, the following flushing routine may be used. With the enable signal high, clock in 20 zeroes. Drive the enable signal low and the display will be blank. It is recommended to clear the driver at power on. In Figure 6, the ENABLE signal acts as an envelope, and only while this signal is at a logic “1” does the circuit accept
CLOCK input signals. Data is transferred and shifted in the internal shift register on the rising clock edge, i.e., “0”–“1” transition. When the ENABLE signal goes low, the contents of the shift registers are latched, and the display will show new data. During data transfer, the display will show old data. DATA OUT is also provided on the MM58342 being output on the falling edge. At any time, the display may be blanked under processor control, using the BLANKING CONTROL input.
Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of a microprocessor-based system where the MM58342 is used to provide the grid drive for a 40-digit 2 line 5 x 7 multiplexed vacuum fluorescent (VF) display. The anode drive in this example is provided by another member of the high voltage display driver family, namely the MM58348, which does not require an extremely generated load signal.
