Current Calculations
The peak and average display
current requirements have a
significant impact on power
supply selection. The maximum
peak current is calculated with
Equation 3 in Table 3.

The display uses two independent
electrical systems. One system is
used to power the display’s logic
and the other to power the
display’s LEDs. These two
systems keep the logic supply
clean.
Separate electrical systems allow

Registers. V
between 3.1 to 5.5 V without
much noticeable variation in light
output to the human eyes. There
is also no pixel mismatch
observed.
The intensity of the light output
takes a plunge if operated less
than 3.1 V. There is also no pixel
mismatch observed at voltage as
low as 2.6 V. However, operating
below 3.1 V is not recommended.
Dimming the display by pulse

V
without affecting either the
displayed message or the display
intensity. However, operating
below 3 V may change the timing
and logic levels and may cause
Dot and Control Registers to be
altered. Thus, operation of the
display below 3.0 V is not
recommended.
The logic ground is internally
connected to the LED ground by
a substrate diode. This diode
becomes forward biased and
conducts when the logic ground is
0.4 V greater than the LED
ground. The LED ground and the
logic ground should be connected
to a common ground, which can
withstand the current introduced
by the switching LED drivers.
