DESCRIPTION

The NE/SA594 is a display driver interface for vacuum fluorescent displays. The device is comprised of 8 drivers and a bias network, and is capable of driving the digits and/or segments of most vacuum fluorescent displays. The inputs are designed to be compatible with TTL, DTL, NMOS, PMOS or CMOS output circuitry.

There is an active pull–down circuit on each output so that display ghosting is minimized and no external components are required for most fluorescent display applications.

FEATURES

• Digit and/or segment drivers

• Active output pull–down circuitry
