µ
PD789489 Subseries are as follows.
(1) Automatic output of segment and common signals based on automatic display data memory read
(2) Two different display modes:
• 1/3 duty (1/3 bias)
• 1/4 duty (1/3 bias)
(3) Four different frame frequencies, selectable in each display mode
(4) 16 to 28 segment signal outputs (S0 to S15, S16 to S27
Note
)
