Description
These standard solid state displays
have a 7.4 mm (0.29 inch) dot
matrix character and an on-board
IC with data memory latch/
decoder and LED drivers in a
glass/ceramic package.
The hermetic HDSP-078x,-079x/
-088x displays utilize a solder
glass frit seal. The HDSP-098X
displays utilize an epoxy glass-to-
ceramic seal.
The numeric devices decode posi-
tive BCD logic into characters
“0-9,” a “–” sign, decimal point,
and a test pattern. The
hexadecimal devices decode
positive BCD logic into 16
characters, “0-9, A-F.” An input is
provided on the hexadecimal
devices to blank the display (all
LEDS off) without losing the
contents of the memory.
The over range device displays
“± 1” and right hand decimal
point and is typically driven via
external switching transistors.

Notes:
1. The nominal thermal resistance of a display mounted in a socket that is soldered onto a printed circuit board is
Rθ
JA
= 50°C/W/device. The device package thermal resistance is Rθ
J-PIN
= 15°C/W/device. The thermal resistance device pin-to-
ambient through the PC board should not exceed 35°C/W/device for operation up to T
A
= +100°C.
2. Voltage values are with respect to device ground, pin 6.
3. These displays are categorized for luminous intensity with the intensity category designated by a letter code located on the back of
the display package. Case temperature of the device immediately prior to the light measurement is equal to 25°C.

5. The dominant wavelength,
λ
d
, is derived from the CIE chroma-
ticity diagram and represents the single wavelength which
defines the color of the device.
6. The HDSP-088X and HDSP-098X series devices are categor-
ized as to dominant wavelength with the category designated
by a number on the back of the display package.

Operational
Considerations
Electrical
These devices use a modified
4 x 7 dot matrix of light emitting
diodes to display decimal/
hexadecimal numeric informa-
tion. The high efficiency red and
yellow displays use GaAsP/GaP
LEDs and the high performance
green displays use GaP/GaP
LEDs. The LEDs are driven by
constant current drivers, BCD
information is accepted by the
display memory when the enable
line is at logic low and the data is
latched when the enable is at
logic high. Using the enable pulse
width and data setup and hold
times listed in the Recommended
Operating Conditions allows data
to be clocked into an array of
displays at a 6.7 MHz rate.
The decimal point input is active
low true and this data is latched
into the display memory in the
same fashion as the BCD data.
The decimal point LED is driven
by the on-board IC.
The blanking control input on the
hexadecimal displays blanks
(turns off) the displayed
information without disturbing
the contents of display memory.
The display is blanked at a
minimum threshold level of 2.0
volts. When blanked, the display
standby power is nominally 250
mW at T
A
= 25°C.
The ESD susceptibility of the IC
devices is Class A of MIL-STD-
883 or Class 2 of DOD-STD-1686
and DOD-HDBK-263.

Mechanical
These displays are hermetically
sealed for use in environments
that require a high reliability
device. These displays are
designed and tested to meet a
helium leak rate of
5 x 10
-8
cc/sec.
These displays may be mounted
by soldering directly to a printed
circuit board or insertion into a
socket. The lead-to-lead pin
spacing is 2.54 mm (0.100 inch)
and the lead row spacing is 15.24
mm (0.600 inch). These displays
may be end stacked with 2.54
mm (0.100 inch) spacing
between outside pins of adjacent
displays. Sockets such as Augat
324-AG2D (3 digits) or Augat
508-AG8D (one digit, right angle
mounting) may be used.
The primary thermal path for
power dissipation is through the
device leads. Therefore, to insure
reliable operation up to an
ambient temperature of +100°C,
it is important to maintain a
base-to-ambient thermal
resistance of less than
35°C watt/device as measured on
top of display pin 3.
For further information on
soldering and post solder
cleaning, see Application Note
1027,
Soldering LED
Components.
Preconditioning
These displays are 100% pre-
conditioned by 24 hour storage at
125°C, at 100°C for the HDSP-
098x Series.
Contrast Enhancement
These display devices are
designed to provide an optimum
ON/OFF contrast when placed
behind an appropriate contrast
enhancement filter. For further
information on contrast
enhancement, see Application
Note 1015,
Contrast
Enhancement for LED
Displays.
Over Range Display
The over range devices display
“±1” and decimal point. The
character height and package
configuration are the same as the
numeric and hexadecimal
devices. Character selection is
obtained via external switching
transistors and current limiting
resistors.
