1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Futaba Chip In Glass (CIG) LCD Emulator Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) modules consist of a multiple character by multiple line 5x8 dot matrix display, DC-DC converter, and controller/driver circuitry. The modules are designed to be directly compatible with industry standard liquid crystal display (LCD) modules that utilize the Hitachi HD44780U LCD controller/driver. The modules can be configured for a Motorola M68-type parallel interface, an Intel I80-type parallel interface, or a synchronous serial interface. A character generator ROM with 240 5x8 characters is provided along with RAM for the user to program an additional 8 characters. The luminance level of the VFD can be varied by setting two bits in the function set instruction, which aredon t car bits for LCD modules. Additional options include English-Katakana or English-European character font, with or without a connector, and internal or external reset function. A primary advantage of these modules over industry standard LCD modules is that they have a dual-port RAM that allows data and instructions to be sent to them continuously. Thus, the busy flag is always 0 and the host never has to read the busy flag bit to determine if the modules are busy. Due to this feature, the execution times for each instruction are not specified. A 10K pull-up resistor is provided on each input for TTL compatibility. 2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS 1) Futaba Vacuum Fluorescent Display Specifications (see table below) CIG LCD Emulator Part Number Futaba VFD Specification Font M162MD06AA- 162MD006GINK English/European M162MD07AA= 162MD007GINK English/Katakana M162SD53AA- and NA162SD53AA- 162SD053GINK English/European M162SD54AA- and NA162SD54AA- 162SD054GINK English/Katakana M202MD32AA- 202MD032GINK English/European M202MD33AA- 202MD033GINK English/Katakana M202SD22AA- 202SD22GINK English/European M202SD23AA- 202SD23GINK English/Katakana M204SD08AA- 204SD08GINK English/European M204SD09AA- 204SD09GINK English/Katakana M242SD06AA- 242SD06GINK English/European M242SD07AA- 242SD07GINK English/Katakana M402SD62AA- 402SD62GINK English/European M402SD63AA- 402SD63GINK English/Katakana PART NUMBER: REVISION: CIG LCD EMULATORS A.2 DATE PRINTED: SHEET: Futaba Corporation of America Schaumburg, IL 13Jul18 1 OF 39 3.0 SPECIFICATIONS 3.1 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Item Number of characters (char x line) 16 x 2 16 x 2 16 x 2 20 x 2 20 x 2 20 x 4 24 x 2 40 x 2 Character configuration 5 x 8 dot matrix Character height (mm) 8.46 5.34 5.34 8.86 5.34 4.844 5.34 5.34 Character width (mm) 3.70 1.90 1.90 3.90 2.35 2.15 2.165 2.05 Character pitch (mm) 4.95 3.10 3.10 5.15 3.60 3.55 3.465 3.30 Line pitch (mm) 9.74 6.16 6.16 9.64 6.16 8.705 6.16 6.16 0.39 0.35 0.353 0.33 width 0.66 0.30 0.30 0.70 Dot size (mm) height 0.97 0.58 0.58 1.02 0.58 0.518 0.58 0.58 width 0.76 0.40 0.40 0.80 0.49 0.45 0.453 0.43 Dot pitch (mm) height 1.07 0.68 0.68 1.12 0.68 0.618 0.68 0.68 Peak wavelength of illumination Green (505 nm) x = 0.235, y = 0.405 min. 500 500 500 500 400 350 500 350 2 Luminance (cd/m ) typ. 1000 1000 1000 1000 800 700 1000 700 PART NUMBER: REVISION: CIG LCD EMULATORS A.2 DATE PRINTED: SHEET: Futaba Corporation of America Schaumburg, IL 13Jul18 2 OF 39 M162MD06AA- and M162MD07AA- M162SD53AA- and M162SD54AA- NA162SD53AA- and NA162SD54AA- M202MD32AA- and M202MD33AA- M202SD22AA- and M202SD23AA- M204SD08AA- and M204SD09AA- M242SD06AA- and M242SD07AA- M402SD62AA- and M402SD63AA-
