CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIO N

2. Digital display

FIP digit and segment signals are driven by the 6300 bu t decimal point and red character signals are driven by a tran - sistor . 8 V is used to increase the brightness of red charac - ters . The 7800 sends display data serially at 1 MHz, but th e clock signals are divided by two (500 kHz) in the 4080 an d fed into the 6300 . Figure 16 shows how the frequency divi - sion is accomplished . The 7800 sends data from its SO pi n

(pin 28) and a clock signal from its SCK pin (pin 26) at ap- prox . 1 ms intervals . After the 7800 has sent 8 bits of dat a five times, the 7800 sends a negative enable pulse from port B5 (pin 46) . When a decimal digit goes on, the 7800 set s port C4 to L and when a red character goes on the 780 0 sets port C3 to H .

3 . Key scan inpu t

The key scan input block sends key scan signals (negativ e pulses) from its 8255 (IC53) port C in the order of CO to C 7 (C6 and C7 are output only once when the POWER switc h is turned on) . When a matrix crossing point switch is on, its

corresponding bit in the 8255 port A is L to enable the switc h to be identified . Figure 13 shows the matrix . Key scan S 6 and S7 are provided for the extended function using diodes .
