In the ICL7106, an internal digital ground is generated from a 6V Zener diode and a large P-Channel source TO LCD follower. This supply is made stiff to absorb the relatively large ICL7106DECIMALDECIMAL capacitive currents when the back plane (BP) voltage is switched. POINTPOINTSSELECT The BP frequency is the clock frequency divided by 800. For three readings/sec., this is a 60Hz square wave with a nominal TEST amplitude of 5V. The segments are driven at the same frequency CD4030 and amplitude and are in phase with BP when OFF, but out of GND phase when ON. In all cases negligible DC voltage exists across the segments. FIGURE 6. EXCLUSIVE ‘OR’ GATE FOR DECIMAL POINT DRIVE Figure 8 is the Digital Section of the ICL7107. It is identical to the ICL7106 except that the regulated supply and back plane drive have been eliminated and the segment drive has been increased from 2mA to 8mA, typical for instrument size common anode LED displays. Since the 1000 output (pin 19) must sink current from two LED segments, it has twice the drive capability or 16mA. In both devices, the polarity indication is “on” for negative analog inputs. If IN LO and IN HI are reversed, this indication can be reversed also, if desired. aaaafbfbfbgcggecececbdddBACKPLANE21LCD PHASE DRIVER777TYPICAL SEGMENT OUTPUTSEGMENTSEGMENTSEGMENT 200V+DECODEDECODEDECODE0.5mASEGMENTLATCHOUTPUT2mA1000’s100’s10’s1’sCOUNTERCOUNTERCOUNTERCOUNTERINTERNAL DIGITAL GROUNDTO SWITCH DRIVERSFROM COMPARATOR OUTPUT1V+CLOCK† 6.2V4LOGIC CONTROL500ΩTEST† THREE INVERTERSINTERNALONE INVERTER SHOWN FOR CLARITYV37DIGITALTH = 1VGROUND26V-403938OSC 1OSC 2OSC 3 FIGURE 7.
