HDLO-3416 is a 5x7 dot matrix display with four 0.27" tall characters, driven by an on board CMOS IC. The IC stores and decodes 7 bit ASCII data and displays it with an easy to read 5x7 font. Multiplexing circuitry and drivers are included in the IC to allow the display to interface simple with bus based microprocessor systems. The address and data inputs of the display can be directly connected to the microprocessor address and data buses. This display is related to the HDLX-2416 family, and thus share the same enhancements over the HPDL-2416 segmented displays. 

These features include support for the full 128 character US ASCII character set, 8 level dimming control, external hardware dimming capability, and digit blanking. An extended function disable exists for those designers who desire compatibility with competitive displays. This function disables the dimming and digit blanking controls.
