document no. rev.no page standard name specification for approval 00 8/10 the duty cycle control byte contains a five bit numeric field (bits 4 to 0) that allows the ?on? time for all digits to be modified. luminance levels are available in 1/32 or 3.1% steps. a value of 31 represents maximum luminance, while a value of 0 places the output drivers into the ?off? state and blanks the display. for example, a binary value of 24 would force the display?s luminance level to be 77% of maximum luminance, and the full 8-bit byte would be: 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 timing data. duty cycle control command. control data byte identifier. 4.2 writing character data bytes 8-bit data byte function 0 x z z z z z z character data byte notes: 1. ?x? - don?t care 2. ?zzzzzz? - 6 bit character address from the character table character data bytes are loaded into the data buffer as 8 bit bytes, with the c-bit (bit 7) set to 0. the 64 available data bytes are shown in figure 6, with their corresponding ascii characters. the display buffer pointer is automatically incremented before each character data byte is stored. decimal points and commas will not cause the buffer pointer to increment, and are therefore always asso ciated with the character data byte previously entered. if it is desirable to pl ace characters out of sequence, that is not from position 1 to 16, then each character data byte must be preceded by the appropriate positional data through the us e of the buffer pointer control byte. 4.3 power-on reset once vcc has stabilized after power up, a 100us active low pulse must be applied to the reset\ input to initialize the module. the following conditions are established after a reset\ pulse has been applied.
