Maximum rating
10.1 Power consumption estimation
The maximum power consumption is comprised of the Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD)
driver dissipation, Load Resistance (RL), LED driver dissipation, and dynamic power
consumption.
PMAX = VFD + RL + LED + PDYN
Where,
● PMAX = maximum power consumption,
● VFD = Vacuum Florescent Display driver dissipation,
● RL = load resistance,
● LED = LED driver dissipation, and
) ● PDYN = dynamic power consumption.
t(s If the segment current (ISEG) = 3 mA, grid current (IGRID) = 15 mA, and the
c LED current = 20 mA, then:
u FIP = (#segments x 6) + [#grids/(#grids +1)] x 30 mW,
rod RL dissipation = (VDD – VSS)2 ÷ 50(segment + 1 mW),
P LED driver dissipation = #LEDs x 20 mW, and
te PDYN = VDD x 5 mW.
le To finish this example:
o FIP driver dissipation = 16 x 6 + 12/13 x 30 = 124mW
bs RL dissipation = 33.32/50 x 17 = 377 mW
O LED driver dissipation = 2 x 20 = 40
) - PDYN = 3.3 x 5 = 16.5 mW
t(s The maximum power consumption (Total) = 557.5 mW
c Where,
du VSS = –30 V,
Obsolete Pro VDD = 3.3 V, and the application is in 16-segment, 12-digit mode.
