NE587
DESCRIPTION
The NE587 is a latch/decoder/driver for 7-segment common anode LED displays. The NE587 has a programmable current output up to 50mA which is essentially independent of output voltage, power supply voltage, and temperature. The data (BCD) inputs and LE (latch enable) input are low-loading so that they are compatible with any data bus system. The 7-segment decoding is implemented with a ROM so that alternative fonts can be made available.

NE587 PROGRAMMING
587 output current can be programmed by using a programming resistor, RP, connected between RP (Pin 8) and GND (Pin 9). The voltage at RP (Pin 8) is constant (K = 1.3V). A partial schematic of the voltage reference used in the NE587 is shown in Figure 1. Output current to program current ratio, IO/IP, is 20 in the 15mA to 50mA range. Note that IP must be derived from a resistor (RP), and not from a high-impedance source such as an IOUT DAC used to control display brightness.
POWER DISSIPATION CONSIDERATIONS
LED displays are power-hungry devices, and inevitably, somewhat inefficient in their use of the power supply necessary to drive them. Duty cycle control does afford one way of improving display efficiency, provided that the LEDs are not driven too far into saturation; but the improvement is marginal. Operation at higher peak currents has the added advantage of giving much better matching of light output, both from segment-to-segment and digit-to-digit.

An output current of 10 to 50mA was chosen so that it would be suitable for multiplexed operation of large-size LED digits. When designing a display system, particular care must be taken to minimize power dissipation within the IC display driver. Since the output is a constant-current source, all the remaining supply voltage, which is not dropped across the LED (and the digit driver, if used), will appear across the output. Thus, the power dissipation will go up sharply if the display power supply voltage rises. Clearly, then, it is good design practice to keep the display supply voltage as low as possible, consistent with proper operation of the supply output current sources. Inserting a resistor or diode in series with the display supply is a good way of reducing the power dissipation within the integrated circuit segment driver, although, of course, total system power remains the same. Power dissipation may be calculated as follows. Referring to Figure 6, the two system power supplies are VCC and VS. In many cases, these will be the same voltage. Necessary parameters are: VCC VS ICC ISEG VF KDC Supply voltage to driver Supply voltage to display Quiescent supply current of driver LED segment current LED segment forward voltage at ISEG % Duty cycle

VF, the forward LED drop, depends upon the type of LED material (hence the color) and the forward current.

These voltages are all for single-diode displays. Some early red displays had 2 series LEDs per segment; hence the forward voltage drop was around 3.5V. Thus, a maximum power dissipation calculation when all segments are on, is: P D + V CC x I CC ) x K DCmW (V S * V F) x 7 x I SEG

Assuming VS = VCC = 5.25V VF = 2.0V KDC = 100% PD MAX = 5.25 x 50 + 3.25 x 7 x 30mW = 945mW However, the average power dissipation will be considerably less than this. Assuming 5 segments are on (the average for all output code combinations), then PD MAX = 5.0 x 30 + 3.00 x 5 x 25mW = 525mW Operating temperature range limitations can be deduced from the power dissipation graph.

However, a major portion of this power dissipation (PD MAX) is because the current source output is operating with 3.25V across it. In practice, the outputs operate satisfactorily down to 0.5V, and so the extra voltage may be dropped external to the integrated circuit. Suppose the worst-case VCC/VS supply is 4.75 to 5.25V, and that the maximum VE for the LED display is 2.25V. Only 2.75V is required to keep the display active, and hence 2.0V may be dropped externally with a resistor from VCC to VS. The value of this resistor is calculated by: RS + 2.0 [ 7 x I SEG 1 10W ( W rating) 2
drops an appreciable voltage, rather than the saturating PNP transistors shown in Figure 9. For example a Darlington PNP or NPN emitter-follower may be preferable. Figure 8 shows the NE591 as the digit driver in a multiplexed display system. The NE591 output drops about 1.8V which means that the power dissipation is evenly distributed between the two integrated circuits. Where VS and VCC are two different supplies, the VS supply may be optimized for minimum system power dissipation and/or cost. Clearly, good regulation in the VS supply is totally unnecessary, and so this supply can be made much cheaper than the regulated 5V supply used in the rest of the system. In fact, a simple unsmoothed full-wave rectified sine wave works extremely well if a slight loss in brightness can be tolerated. A transformer voltage of about 3-4.5VRMS works well in most LED display systems. Waveforms are shown below:
assuming worst case ISEG of 30mA. Hence now PD MAX = VCC x ICC + (VS - VV - RX x 7 x ISEG) x 7 x ISEG x KDC = 5.25 x 50 + 1.25 x 7 x 30mW = 525mW and PD av = 5.0 x 30 + 1.25 x 5 x 25 = 306 mW. If a diode (or 2) is used to reduce voltage to the display, then the voltage appearing across the display driver will be independent of the number of "ON" segments and will be equal to VS - VF - nVd, VD 0.8V Where n is the number of diodes used, power dissipation can be calculated in a similar manner. In a multiplexed display system, the voltage drop across the digit driver must also be considered in computing device power dissipation. It may even be an advantage to use a digit driver which

The duty cycle for this system depends upon VS, VF and the output characteristics of the display driver. With VS = 4.9V peak VF = 2.0V The duty cycle is approximately 60%.
