Description
The HDSP-253x is ideal for applications where displaying eight or more characters of dot matrix information in an aesthetically pleasing manner is required. These devices are eight-digit, 5x7 dot matrix, alphanumeric displays. The 5.0mm (0.2 inch) high characters are pack­aged in a 0.300 inch (7.62 mm) 30 pin DIP. The on-board CMOS IC has the ability to decode 128 ASCII characters, which are permanently stored in ROM. In addition, 16 programmable symbols may be stored in on-board RAM. Seven brightness levels provide versatility in adjusting the display intensity and power consumption. The HDSP-253x is designed for standard microprocessor interface techniques.The display and special features are accessed through a bidirectional eight-bit data bus.
