µPD6464A,6465
ON-SCREEN CHARACTER DISPLAY CMOS LSI FOR 12-LINE,
24-COLUMN DECK-TYPE VCR
The µPD6464A,6465 are CMOS LSIs for on-screen character display that control various display systems (such
as tape counters) including the program screens of deck-type VCRs and LD players. These LSIs are used in
combination with a microcomputer.
It can display characters each consisting of 12 (horizontal) by 18 (vertical) dots. Some chinese characters and
some pictograms can also be displayed by combining two or more characters.
The µPD6464A,6465 include a power-ON clear function and a video RAM batch clear command that mitigate the
workload of the host microcomputer. It also has a synchronization separator and a ×4 multiplier on chip, eliminating
the need of connecting an external separator IC and a crystal resonator, which reduces the mounting area and the
total cost.
