Output serial data at the falling edge of the shift clock, starting from low order bit. This is N-ch open-drain output pin. Initializes serial interface at the rising or falling edge of the AD6312. It then waits for reception of a command. Data input after STB falling is processed as a command. While command data is processed, current processing is stopped, and the serial interface is initialized. While STB is high, CLK is ignored. Reads serial data at the rising edge, and outputs data at the falling edge. Connect resistor in between this pin and Vss to set up the oscillation frequency. Segment output pins Multi-function pins, Segment output pins (Dual function as key scan source) Grid output pins These pins are selectable for segment or grid driving. CMOS output Data input to these pins is latched at the end of the display cycle. Logic power supply Connect this pin to system GND. Driver power supply These pins constitute a 4-bit general-purpose input port.

The first 1 byte input to the AD6312 through the DIN pin after the STB pin has fallen is regarded as a command. If STB is set high while a commands/data are transmitted, serial communication is initialized, and the commands/data being transmitted are invalid (however, the commands/data previously transmitted remain valid). 1.1 Display mode setting commands These commands initialize the AD6312 and select the number of segments and the number of grids (4 grids & 16 segments to 11 grids & 11 segments to). When these commands are executed, the display is forcibly turned off, and key scanning is also stopped. To resume display, the display command “ON” must be executed. If the same mode is selected, however, nothing happens.
