5 / 8 page 5 www.fairchildsemi.com Low Power, Low Cost Display Power Sources—In small line operated systems using TTL/MSI and LED or incan- descent displays, a significant portion of the total dc power is consumed to drive the displays. Since it is irrelevant whether displays are driven from unfiltered dc or pulsed dc (at fast rates), a dual power system can be used that makes better utilization of transformer rms ratings. The system utilizes a full wave rectified but unsmoothed dc volt- age to provide the displays with 120 Hz pulsed power while the reset of the system is driven by a conventional dc power circuit. The frequency of 120 Hz is high enough to avoid display flicker problems. The main advantages of this system are: • Reduced transformer rating • Much smaller smoothing capacitor • Increased LED light output due to pulsed operation With the standard capacitor filter circuit, the rms current (full wave) loading of the transformer is approximately twice the dc output. Most commercial transformer manu- facturers rate transformers with capacitive input filters as follows: Full Wave Bridge Rectifier Circuit Transformer rms current = 1.8 x dc current required Full Wave Center Tapped Rectifier Circuit Transformer rms current = 1.2 x dc current required Therefore, the removal of a large portion of the filtered dc current requirement (display power) substantially reduces the transformer loading. There are two basic approaches. First (Figure 3) is the direct full wave rectified unregulated supply to power the displays. The '74 decoder driver constant current feature maintains the specified segment current after the LED diode drop and 0.5V saturation voltage has been reached ( ≅2.2V). Care must be exercised not to exceed the '74 power ratings and the maximum voltage that the decoder driver sees in both the “on” and “off” modes. The second approach (Figure 4) uses a 3-terminal voltage regulator such as the 7805 to provide dc pulsed power to the display with the peak dc voltage limited to +5.0V. This approach allows easier system thermal management by heat sinking the regulator rather than the display or display drivers. When this power source is used with an intensity modulation scheme or with a multiplexed display system, the frequencies must be chosen such that they do not beat with the 120 Hz full wave rectified power frequency.
