DESCRIPTION
The M35501FP generates digit signals for fluorescent display when connected to the output port of a microcomputer. There are up to 16 digit pins available, and more can be added by connecting additional M35501FPs. The number of fluorescent displays can be increased easily by connecting the M35501FP to the CMOS FLD (VFD; Vacuum Fluorescent Display) output pins of an 8-bit microcomputer in MITSUBISHI’s 38B5 Group. The M35501FP is suitable for fluorescent display control on household electric appliances, audio products, etc.
