GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The MSC7165 is a driver IC designed to directly drive the grids of a vacuum fluorescent display tube.

Since this IC has a built-in 4 to 16-line decoder and 16 output circuits, a single device of MSC7165 can replace a set of the following three: two devices of either MSL915 or MSL917 and one device of either MSM4514 or MSM74HC4514.

Setting the DUTY pin to the L level makes all driver outputs go L. Blanking can be set using this function.

FEATURES
