Futaba Model US162SD03 Vacuum Fluorescent Display datasheet.

Original FutabaUsVfd library at Arduino Playground FutabaвЂ™s most popular Character Modules are referred to as the LCD Emulators since they were designed to allow easy conversion from hard-to-read LCDs to vibrant Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFDs).

While the 162SD03 is a 5V device, the CLK, DATA, and RESET inputs are compatible with 3.3V logic levels. The datasheet specs it at 450 mA typical, 600 mA maximum. I measured supply current of around 320 mA when the device was powered, regardless of whether something was displayed or the screen was blank. Im intending on using a MSP430 to do so (though Im not so far ahead yet).

I lost the original and couldnt find it again). Match up the DB25 pin to the VFD pin by consulting the datasheet with the pinouts for the VFD. This is a much bigger change than any of the other single-value changes. I am attempting to display information on a Futaba Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) (apologies for the google-drive link to the datasheet. 15 - (VB+) LED Power (Anode) (+5 volts) (Va on my Seiko data sheet) 16 - (VB-) LED Power (Cathode) (Vc on my Seiko data sheet) Futaba VFD Connections. These displays were apparently custom made for NCR, and I can find no programming information for the module as a whole, except for what is at this site. They are available very cheaply at Prime Electronics. It is a nice 20x2 display module with 2x Oki MSC1162A chips and one MSC1164 chip. There is a noticeable difference in brightness when going from level 254 to 255. I have a Futaba NA202MD13AA vacuum fluorescent display. My observation is that while there is some flicker with brightness levels lower than 40, I was not able to notice any flicker anytime the brightness level was set to 40 or more. The Arduino Playground article mentions that the 162SD03 module has problems with flicker. static const uint16_t POST_RESET_DELAY_TIME = 2500 // Datasheet specifies 2000 us (twait)

This parameter seemed to be most sensitive to specfic minimal timing. Static const uint8_t HALF_PERIOD_TIME = 25 // Datasheet specifies 20 us (40 us clock period, TCLOCK) static const uint8_t DATA_SETUP_TIME = 5 // Datasheet specifies 3 us (tsu) static const uint8_t PROCESS_TIME = 25 // Datasheet specifies 25 us (tprocess) static const uint8_t RESET_HOLD_TIME = 50 // Datasheet specifies 30 us (twRST).
