Description
The STFPC311 is a complete, low-cost,
integrated solution for controlling and driving a
front panel Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). It
is ideal for decreasing power consumption in
standby mode by reducing the application standby
current to a minimum. It also contains a built-in
remote control decoder module.
While in the standby mode of operation, a valid
key press or signal from infrared decoder will start
a proper power-up see
The STFPC311 integrates a VFD controller with a
driver that is run on a 1/8 to 1/16-duty factor. It
consists of 12 segments output lines, 8 grid output
lines, 8 shared segments/grid output drive lines, a
display memory, a control circuit, and a key scan
circuit. Serial data is input to the STFPC311
through the SPI Interface of a microcontroller
(STB, D
Additionally, this IC can support 2 general
purpose input switches (SW1 and SW2).

... This device reduces the stand-by power consumption of the whole Front Panel application as well as the hardware by integrating the infrared (IR) remote control decoder. A dedicated supply voltage powers the STFPC311 directly from the main supply board. When power is plugged in, control of the power supply management is done using the following pins: 1 ...

... STBY to logic low in order to allow the host processor to program the STFPC311. Once the STBY is set to low, the watchdog timer starts to count up to 10s (10s is the default value of the watchdog timer upon power-up). When the READY is asserted within this time, it indicates that the system has booted up well ...

Page 8

... Once the STFPC311 detects the status change of the READY to a logic low or after the preset waiting time (1s to 15s) has elapsed, the STFPC311 sets the STBY pin to a logic high to turn off the power. The MUTE signal is set to high before the power is turned off. The STFPC311 always senses the level on the READY pin during normal operation ...

... In this condition, the watchdog timer can be disabled or enabled. If the watchdog timer is enabled, the timer needs to be cleared before the programmed count of the timer is reached. If the programmed count is reached, the STBY will be asserted advisable not to enable the watchdog timer during normal operation. Caution: 10/39 STFPC311 ...
