Four Character 5.0 mm (0.2 inch) Smart 5 x 7 Alphanumeric Displays

This is a 5.0 mm (0.2 inch) four character 5 x 7 dot matrix display driven by an on-board CMOS IC. This display is pin for pin compatible with the HPDL-2416. The IC stores and decodes 7 bit ASCII data and displays it using a 5 x 7 font. Multiplexing circuitry, and drivers are also part of the IC. The IC has fast setup and hold times which makes it easy to interface to a microprocessor. The address and data inputs can be directly connected to the microprocessor address and data buses.

The HDLG-2416-FG000 has several enhancements over the HPDL -2416. These features include an expanded character set, internal 8 level dimming control, external dimming capability, and individual digit blanking. Finally, the extended functions can be disabled which allows the HDLG-2416-FG000 to operate exactly like an HPDL-2416 by disabling all of the enhancements except the expanded character set.
