HV5812P-G

Display Drivers Overview

The HV5812P-G is a display driver and controller manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed specifically for Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) applications. It features 20 output channels capable of handling up to 80V. The device operates on a single 5V power supply and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. It is housed in a 28-pin DIP package with through-hole mounting style.

Display Drivers Feature Summary

• Provides 20-channel drive capability for VFD segments and filaments
• Operates with a single 5V logic supply voltage
• Supports high-voltage outputs up to 80V for display elements
• Rated for extended industrial temperature ranges

Display Drivers Applications

• Vacuum fluorescent display panel driving
• Industrial control panel interfaces
• Consumer appliance user interfaces
• Automotive instrument clusters

Display Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' indicates RoHS compliance when ordering. Confirm the DIP-28 package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Check current availability as lead times may vary. Ensure the 5V logic level compatibility aligns with your microcontroller interface. Validate that the 80V output rating meets your display's electrical specifications.

Display Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring direct VFD segment and filament control without external multiplexing complexity. Consider the DIP-28 package if through-hole assembly is preferred over surface mount alternatives like the PLCC variant. Evaluate the thermal performance within the -40°C to +125°C range for your specific environment. Compare channel count against display requirements to avoid over-specification.

Display Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to Microchip's HV58xx series of display drivers. It is distinct from surface-mount variants such as the HV5812PJ-G which uses a PLCC-28 package. The P-series designation typically denotes the dual in-line package format suitable for prototyping or specific manufacturing processes.

Display Drivers Replacement Considerations

The HV5812PJ-G serves as a functional equivalent with identical electrical characteristics but utilizes a PLCC-28 surface-mount package instead of DIP-28. Pinout compatibility must be verified before substitution due to package differences.
