Description：

The Broadcom® HDSP-253x is ideal for applications where displaying eight or more characters of dot matrix information in an aesthetically pleasing manner is required. These devices are eight-digit, 5 x 7 dot matrix, alphanumeric displays. The 5.0-mm (0.2 inch) high characters are packaged in a 0.300-inch (7.62 mm) 30-pin DIP. The onboard CMOS IC has the ability to decode 128 ASCII characters, which are permanently stored in ROM. In addition, 16 programmable symbols can be stored in onboard RAM. Seven brightness levels provide versatility in adjusting the display intensity and power consumption. The HDSP-253x is designed for standard microprocessor interface techniques. The display and special features are accessed through a bidirectional eight-bit data bus.
