2X16 LCD Compatible VFD Module
1. SCOPE
2. FEATURES
3. PRECAUTIONS
* This specification applies to VFD module (Model No.:16T202DA1J) manufactured by Samsung SDI or SSVD.
* LCD Compatible: Drop-in-replacement (Same Interface and Mechanical Dimension as LCD Module).
* High Quality, Attractive and Readable Display: 5*7 Dot Matrix Type Vacuum Fluorescent Display.
* Compact and Lightweight: Flat Panel (VFD) and Surface Mount Technology.
* +5V single power supply.
* Brightness Level: Adjustable into 4 Levels (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) by Software Command.
* Support CG-RAM Fonts and CG-ROM: 8 User-definable Characters (Volatile) and 240 Masked CG-ROM Fonts.
* Avoid applying excessive shock or vibration beyond the specification for the VFD module.
* Since VFDs are made of glass material, careful handling is required. i.e. Direct impact with hard material to the glass
* When mounting the VFD module to your system, leave a slight gap between the VFD glass and your front panel. The
* Avoid plugging or unplugging the interface connection with the power on, otherwise it may cause the severe damage to
* Slow starting power supply may cause non-operation because one chip MCU won't be reset.
* Exceeding any of maximum ratings may cause the permanent damage.
* Since the VFD modules contain high voltage source, careful handling is required during powered on.
* When the power is turned off, the capacitor does not discharge immediately. The high voltage applied to the VFD must
* The power supply must be capable of providing at least 5 times the rated current, because the surge current can be more
* Avoid using the module where excessive noise interference is expected. Noise may affects the interface signal and
* Since all VFD modules contain C-MOS ICs, anti-static handling procedures are always required.
