6-Digit, 7-segment, serial LED display controller IC

We've just released a new 6-digit 7-segment serial display controller IC. This one has a few
bells & whistles our original 4-digit version doesn't.

* Includes 7 built-in display animations for printing, scrolling, clearing digits, and special effects.
* Automatically scrolls up to 17 character strings across display.
* Flicker free multiplexed LED display controller with fast response times.
* Controls up to 6 right hand decimal points.
* Two command modes for total control of individual LED segments.
* Animation speed control for creative special effects.
* Stores display brightness setting in onboard non-volatile memory.
* Stores a six-digit splash screen in onboard non-volatile memory.
* No need for continuous display updates in the hosts firmware.
* Single wire serial control with data rates at 9600 or 19200 bps.
* Automatic refresh and update of each display digit.
* Low power sleep mode with auto display restore on wake-up.
* Flexible operating voltage range from 3.0 to 5.5 VDC.
* Offers 126 levels of display brightness control.
* Multiplexed display digits for reduced power consumption.

hi,
would it work allright with 3,4 or 5 digit display, flicker??
and how about a generic type circuit board for display/pic.
also, only common anode digits display?

Yes it will work with 3, 4, or 5 digits, but it's still going to assume there are six digits it's
controlling.

We already have a 4-digit serial LED display http://www.rentron.com/SLED-C4.htm

Yes it's only for common anode type 7-segment displays. We will have a board for them in
the near future.
