hv5812 vfd driver function table

[Franksterb92]

could someone explain how this chip works this function table is so confusing to me

Thank you very much for the trust you have placed in the community with your question, but it relates to a device from a manufacturer that is not STMicroelectronics. This can also be seen in the URL on your screenshot. I suspect that the question can be better answered by that supplier.

Good luck!

...seems not difficult, you have to make connections to: (+vpp , vdd, gnd )

- data in

- clk

- strobe

- blanking

-> blanking : hi = display off ; lo = display on.

-> clk : on lo->hi transition data is shifted in; 

-> strobe :  lo->hi transition data is stored in latch;  lo->hi->lo to store data . 

So full sequence to show a pattern is:

( set data in hi or lo , switch clk lo->hi->lo ;  ) 20 x , for 20 bits /segments ;

set strobe lo->hi->lo ; = data is on outputs (+ blanking always lo, if you dont want switch off the display)
