Description:
Byte2 to byte6 will follow the same pattern as shown for byte1 above:
BYTE2: segment d, segment c
BYTE3: segment f, segment e
BYTE4: segment m, segment g
BYTE5: segment k, segment h
BYTE6: segment p/col, segment j/col
Segments r and n are never used for RTC display.
Byte7 is for RTC format configuration:
MSB

b6
b5
b4
0
0
0
b0
When b6 is set to a ‘0’, it implies that the dot point/column is a part of the same digit as the
LSB of the HH or LSB of the MM. When b6 is set to a ‘1’, it means that a separate digit is
used for the separator between the hour/minute and minute/second.
When b5 is set to a ‘0’, HH:MM display format of RTC is chosen and when it is set to a ‘1’,
the HH:MM:SS format is chosen.
When b4 is set to a ‘0’, the AM/PM is not displayed and when it is set to a ‘1’, the AM/PM is
displayed on the VFD.
Figure 16. 14-segment + dotpoint display
For a display with segment configuration as in Figure 16, the location of “a” segment
represented by bits b3-b0 corresponds to “0000”. Location of b segment corresponds to
“0001”. Location of c segment corresponds to “0010” and so on.
Thus, if the a segment is located on segment 1, the bits b3-b0 are “0000”. If b segment is
located on segment 2, the bits b3-b0 are “0001” and so on.
