Texas Instruments DIS115F Twelve-Digit Calculator LED Display

Features

These Twelve-Digit Calculator Numeric Seven-Segment LED Displays are intended for use under pulsed conditions by enabling the common cathode of each digit sequentially and enabling the desired Segment and Decimal Point anodes in phase with the character enabling pulse. The pulse rate is kept high enough so that light from each character appears to the eye to be constant. The "G" segment of Digit 3 is accessible on a separate terminal to allow its use as the minus sign of the Exponent for scientific calculators based on the TMS0100 family of single-chip calculator circuits.

The DIS115 Twelve-Digit display assembly consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) with 12 individual DISXXX Seven-Segment displays and succeeds the CP-200032 Display-PCB introduced with the SR-10 Version 1 and based on the TIL360 Multi-Digit displays. While the DIS115 maintains the mechanical dimensions of the CP-200032, improves its increased spacing between the DISXXX elements and the integrated magnifying lens the readability of the 0.115”/2.92 mm characters significantly.

Technology

The displays are formed by soldering twelve individual DISXXX Seven-Segment displays on a double-sided printed circuit board (PCB) and placing a one-piece acrylic magnifying lens with cylindrical shape on top of the assembly with two heat stakes.

Packaging

The DIS115F uses a 2.65" / 67.5 mm by 0.87” / 22.0 mm rectangular printed circuit board (PCB) with 21 solder tabs with a 0.1” / 2.54 mm pitch arranged on the bottom of the display module.
