Dot Graphic VFD Module GU512x32H-3100

q 512x32 Dot Graphic The module includes the Vacuum Fluorescent Display glass, VF
q 5V & 24V Supply drivers and micro-controller ICs with refresh RAM, character
q High Brightness Blue Green Display generator and interface logic. The high speed 8 bit parallel
q Operating Temp -40°C to +70°C interface is 5V TTL/CMOS compatible suitable for connection to
q 3 ASCII Fonts (6x8, 8x16, 16x16) a host CPU bus. The asynchronous serial interface accepts
q High Speed 8 Bit Parallel Interface baud rates up to 38400, none parity. Three character font tables
q Asynchronous Serial Interface can be software selected. User defined characters and many
control commands are available.
