Product details
Overview
MM145453VX from Texas Instruments is a CMOS monolithic LCD segment driver IC designed for direct-drive 4½-digit 7-segment or alphanumeric LCD displays. It supports up to 33 segments, operates from 3V to 10V, features serial data input with TTL compatibility, and includes internal oscillator control for backplane generation at ~75 Hz (with 50 kΩ/0.01 µF). It is used in digital instrumentation such as voltmeters and thermometers.
For engineers reviewing the MM145453VX datasheet, MM145453VX pinout, MM145453VX application, or MM145453VX equivalent, key selection criteria include segment count (33), wide VDD range (3–10 V), low quiescent current (10 µA at 5 V), cascading capability, and PLCC-44 package compatibility with MC145453.
Technical Context
The MM145453VX implements a static master-slave shift register architecture that accepts 34-bit serial input (1 start bit + 33 segment bits + 2 don't-care bits), loading latched display data on the rising edge of the 36th clock cycle. Outputs update only when new segment data differs from prior state, enabling non-multiplexed direct drive.
It supports dual clock sources: an internal RC oscillator (via OSC_IN pin, fOSC ≈ 1/(ln(VDD/1V) × R × C), divided by 16 for BP_OUT) or external 50% duty-cycle signal on BP_IN. The internal oscillator is disabled when OSC_IN is grounded.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 3 V to 10 V - enables operation across battery-powered (3 V) and industrial rail (10 V) systems without level-shifting. |
| Segment Count | 33 segments - sufficient for 4½-digit 7-segment displays plus decimal points or status indicators. |
| IDD (Quiescent) | 10 µA at VDD = 5 V - ultra-low standby power ideal for portable or energy-sensitive instrumentation. |
| BP_OUT Frequency | 75 Hz typical - matches standard LCD AC drive requirements to prevent electrolysis and DC bias damage. |
| Clock Input Max f | 1.0 MHz at VDD = 10 V - allows fast serial data loading (36 clocks per frame ≈ 27.8 kframes/s). |
| Input Logic Levels | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V (VDD = 5 V) - ensures reliable interfacing with TTL and 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including panel meters and remote displays. |
Pinout & Package
MM145453VX is housed in a 44-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package, designated FN0044A, with 4.57 mm max height and JEDEC MS-018 compliance. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch or dot; leads are gull-wing with CU SN finish, RoHS-compliant, MSL Level-3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply | Primary power rail (3–10 V); powers logic, oscillator, and output drivers. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits and segment/backplane outputs. |
| DATA | Serial data input | CMOS/TTL-compatible input accepting 34-bit frame (start + 33 seg + 2 don't-care). |
| CLOCK | Serial clock input | Edge-triggered input; rising edge shifts data, falling edge of 36th cycle resets shift register. |
| OSC_IN | Oscillator timing node | Connects to ROSC_IN (to VDD) and COSC_IN (to GND) to set internal oscillator frequency. |
| BP_IN | External backplane clock input | Accepts 50% duty-cycle square wave; disables internal oscillator when used. |
| BP_OUT | Backplane drive output | Provides 75 Hz (typ.) square wave for LCD common electrode; sourced/sunk up to ±500 µA. |
| S0–S32 | Segment outputs | 33 open-drain CMOS outputs; sink/source ±40 µA (VDD = 3 V) for direct LCD segment drive. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Serial interface with no LOAD signal | 34-bit frame (1 start + 33 data + 2 don't-care) eliminates need for separate latch strobe, simplifying MCU firmware. |
| Cascadable architecture | Multiple MM145453VX devices can be daisy-chained via DATA OUT (pin 43) to expand segment count beyond 33. |
| Alphanumeric flexibility | All 33 outputs are individually controllable - supports custom glyphs, bar graphs, or mixed numeric/alphabet displays. |
| Internal oscillator with external sync option | RC-timed oscillator (75 Hz BP_OUT) or precise external BP_IN clock enables noise immunity in EMI-prone environments. |
| Pin compatibility with MC145453 | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy Motorola/National Semiconductor designs, preserving PCB layout and firmware. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LCD segment driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC145453P | Same pinout and function, but obsolete through ON Semiconductor; no RoHS-compliant packaging available. | Legacy repair only; lacks green (RoHS/no Sb/Br) finish and MSL-3 moisture rating of MM145453VX/NOPB. | Select MM145453VX/NOPB for new designs requiring RoHS compliance, volume traceability, and active supply support. |
| MM5453V | Pin-compatible predecessor with identical 33-segment capability but lower max clock frequency (500 kHz vs. 1 MHz at 10 V). | Less suitable for high-refresh-rate or cascaded multi-driver systems where faster serial throughput is needed. | MM145453VX offers improved speed headroom and updated manufacturing controls; preferred for performance-critical or scalable designs. |
Compared with MC145453P and MM5453V, the MM145453VX provides verified RoHS compliance, higher clock tolerance (1 MHz), and active production status - making it the only choice for new industrial instrumentation designs requiring long-term component availability and regulatory alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of LCD segments the MM145453VX can drive?
The MM145453VX drives up to 33 LCD segments directly. This capacity supports configurations such as 4½-digit 7-segment displays (including decimal points and sign indicators) or custom alphanumeric layouts. Each segment output (S0–S32) is independently controllable, and multiple MM145453VX devices can be cascaded to extend total segment count beyond 33.
Does the MM145453VX require an external crystal or clock source?
No - the MM145453VX includes an internal RC oscillator controlled via the OSC_IN pin (using ROSC_IN and COSC_IN components) to generate the backplane drive frequency (~75 Hz). An external 50% duty-cycle clock may be applied to BP_IN if synchronization with system timing or AC line rejection is required; in that case, OSC_IN must be grounded to disable the internal oscillator.
Is the MM145453VX pin-compatible with the MC145453?
Yes - the MM145453VX is explicitly documented as pin-compatible and functionally compatible with the MC145453. Both share identical PLCC-44 pinout (FN0044A), electrical behavior, and serial interface protocol, enabling direct replacement in legacy designs without PCB or firmware changes.
What is the recommended operating voltage range for the MM145453VX?
The MM145453VX operates over a VDD range of 3 V to 10 V, with specified performance across this full span. At 5 V, average supply current is 10 µA; at 10 V, it rises to 40 µA. This wide range supports both low-voltage battery operation and higher-voltage industrial rails without external regulation.
How does the MM145453VX handle serial data framing and loading?
The MM145453VX uses a fixed 34-bit serial frame: one leading '1' start bit, followed by 33 segment data bits, then two don't-care bits. Data is shifted in on CLOCK rising edges; after 36 edges, an internal LOAD signal (rising edge of 36th clock) transfers data to latches, and a RESET (falling edge) clears the shift register. No external LOAD signal is needed.
