zia it is a common Cathode 16 segment display. I have to connect it to MAX6955/4. I want to know which segment connect to which pin. Should I connect each pin of the segment display it to 2V using a current limiting resistor and check which segments glow for which pin? It has 16 + 2 pins. All I know is 16 pins is for 16 segments and 1 pin is for DP and 1 pin for CC pin. Am I right?
hi zia, I bought a 16 segment ( alpha numeric / character )display. in that it has only 16 pins(top and bottom) (its number is VTCAALP) I didn't find any datasheet in the internet. by checking with the multimeter, I identified that it is common anode. ie the pin which is horizontally opposite side to the DP segment while viewing from its front side is common anode. by connecting the DMM positive LEAD to that CA pin and negative lead to some other pins only A1A2,G1G2,D1D2 are glowing but not other segments. what to do give me some clue to glow it. I need to interface it with 8051 microcontroller I will be very thank full to you...........................
