Description
The 3.3 V HCMS-39xx family is
similar to the 5.0 V HCMS-29xx
family, except it operates at a lower
operating voltage. Package dimen-
sions and pin outs are exactly the
same for both families. The product
has been thoroughly characterized
and stringent reliability tested to
ensure that the product is of high
quality.
Similar to the 5.0 V platform, this
family product is a high per-
formance, easy to use dot matrix
display driven by on-board CMOS
IC. Each display can be directly
interfaced with a microprocessor,
thus eliminating the need for
cumbersome interface com-
ponents. The serial IC interface
allows higher character count
information displays with a
minimum of data lines. The easy
to read 5x7 pixel format allows
the display of upper case, lower
case, Katakana, and custom user-
defined characters. These displays
are stackable in the x- and y-
directions, making them ideal for
high character count displays.
