HDLS-2416 is a 5.0mm four character 5 x 7 dot matrix display driven by an on-board CMOS IC. The 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.
