CMOS LSI CHIP FOR CAMCORDER ON-SCREEN CHARACTER DISPLAY
(12 ROWS × 24 COLUMNS)
The µPD6461, 6462 are CMOS LSI chips designed to provide on-screen character display for camcorders. When
combined with a microcontroller, the µPD6461, 6462 control the display of the characters displayed in the viewfinder (count,
time, date, etc.) and the recording of characters onto video tape (time, date, etc.).
Each character is created using 12 (width) × 18 (height) dots. Kanji characters and graphic symbols can also be displayed
by using two or more characters. The µPD6461, 6462 are compatible with color viewfinders and can output character signals
to three channels, the RGB channel for the color viewfinder and the VC1 and VC2 channels for the recording system and
monitor terminal.
The µPD6461, 6462 also have a power-on clear function and video RAM batch clear command, enabling the number
of operations assigned to the microcontroller to be reduced.
FEATURES
• Maximum number of characters: 12 rows × 24 columns (288 characters)
• Number of character patterns : 256 (µPD6461)/128 (µPD6462) (stored in ROM). Each pattern can be changed by
specifying a mask code option.
• Character size
: One dot per line or one dot per two lines (field)
• Number of character colors
• Background
: 8
: No background, minimum background, or overall background can be selected for the
entire screen, together with rimming ON/OFF function. Any one of 8 different colors
is selectable as the background color and together with the rim color (black or white)
selectable per screen.
• Dot matrix
• Blinking
: Each character consists of 12 (width) × 18 (height) dots. There is no gap between
adjacent characters.
: Blinking can be turned on/off for each character. The blinking ratio is 1:1. The blinking
frequency can be selected from approx. 1 Hz, 2 Hz, and 0.5 Hz for the entire screen.
: Specified characters can be displayed in reverse video.
• Reversed characters
• Character signal output
: Character signals can be output to three channels. Output mode (1) (RGB + BLK, VC1
+ VBLK1, and VC2 + VBLK2) or output mode (2) (R + RBLK, B + BBLK, and G + GBLK) can
be selected by specifying a mask option. For output mode 1, three output formats are
available for the VC1 and VC2 channels (options A, B, and C).
: Video RAM batch clear command and power-on clear function
• Clearing of video RAM
• Interface with a microcontroller : 8-bit serial input supporting variable word length (LSB first or MSB first can be selected
by specifying a mask option.)
• Supply voltage
: Low-voltage operation possible (supply voltage range: 2.7 to 5.5 V)

(1) Data transfer
Select the command transfer format.
(2) Vertical display start position
Select the units used for specifying the vertical display start position of the character display area. In three-line units,
the vertical display start position can be set more finely than in nine-line units.
(3) Pin selection
Select the pins used to output character signals. In RGB+VC1+VC2 mode, character signals are output from the VR,
VG, VB, VBLK, VC1, BLK1, VC2, and BLK2 pins. In RGB+3BLK mode, character signals are output from the VR, VG, VB,
RBLK, GBLK, BBLK, VC1, and BLK1 pins.
When displaying colored characters in a color viewfinder, select RGB+VC1+VC2 mode. When assigning a separate
character signal for each color, select RGB+3BLK mode.
(4) Output distribution format
Select the format to be used to distribute character signals to the VC1 and VC2 channels when RGB+VC1+VC2 mode
is selected. (When RGB+3BLK mode is selected, select option A as the output distribution format. Options B and C
are invalid.)
When an on-screen IC is used in a camcorder, some information is displayed in the viewfinder and recorded onto
video tape (such as a date and title). Other information, however, need only be displayed in the viewfinder (battery
or focus alarm and tape count). The µPD6461, 6462 can distribute such information to different output channels in
units of rows or half rows. You can select option A, option B, and option C as the output distribution format (only when
RGB+VC1+VC2 mode is selected).
(5) Dot clock
Select the dot clock to be used to display characters. When an external clock input is selected, refer to EXTERNAL
CLOCK INPUT in 6. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS.

µPD6461, 6462
1.2 HOW TO SELECT MASK OPTIONS
To select mask options, use the option setting command (OC) of the Character Pattern Editor, a tool designed for editing
character pattern data.
Activate the Character Pattern Editor, then display the following setting menu:
OC (COMMAND INPUT)
OPTION DATA (0---LSB FAST , 1---MSB FAST
OPTION DATA (0---V:9H , 1---V:3H
) :
) :
......... (1)
......... (2)
......... (3)
......... (4)
......... (5)
......... (6)
......... (7)
OPTION DATA (0---RGB+3BLK , 1---RGB+VC1+VC2 ) :
OPTION DATA (0---OUTPUT 20, 1---OUTPUT 21 ) :
OPTION DATA (0---OUTPUT 10, 1---OUTPUT 11 ) :
OPTION DATA (0---EXT CLK , 1---LC
OPTION DATA (0---LC , 1---EXT CLK
) :
) :
Actually, the above menu is displayed one line at a time. Once you have selected an option, the next line is displayed.
Select 0 or 1 for lines (1), (2), (3), (6), and (7), according to the setting to be made. For the dot clock, however, make
the same settings (different values) for lines (6) and (7). For example, when selecting LC oscillation, select “LC” for both
lines (1 for (6) and 0 for (7)). Don’t select external clock input for lines (6) and/or (7).
When selecting the output distribution format, select the values on lines (4) and (5) as follows:
(4)
(5)
Option A
Option B
Option C
1(OUTPUT 21)
0(OUTPUT 20)
1(OUTPUT 21)
0(OUTPUT 10)
0(OUTPUT 10)
1(OUTPUT 11)
The settings are valid only when RGB+VC1+VC2 mode has been selected. Select option A (1, 0) when RGB+3BLK mode
has been selected.
The following table lists the correspondence between the command bits and the lines of the setting menu. Specify 0
or 1 for each bit.

1.4.4 Display of VC2-Specified Characters
When the displayed character control command specifies the VC2 channel for a character, that character is not output
to the RGB or VC1 channel (display for the RGB and VC1 channels is usually the same as when display-off data is writtenNote).
If background display (overall/minimum) is specified for the RGB or VC1 channel, no background is displayed for those
characters for which the VC2 channel has been specified.
Note In some cases, the display will differ slightly from the display-off data.

Remarks 1. The above figures are only examples. Actually, the background can be controlled independently for each
output channel (only in RGB+VC1+VC2 mode), for example, by applying background (overall/minimum) for
the RGB channel but not for the other channels.
2. No background is applied to the VC2-specified areas for the RGB or VC1 channel. If a character adjacent
to a VC2-specified character is rimmed, the rim encroaches into the area for the VC2-specified character
by one dot (minimum size) only at the filled dots at the left or right edge of the area of the rimmed character,
in the same way as for display-off data. The background, however, does not encroach into the adjacent
area.

2.3 POWER-ON CLEAR FUNCTION
The internal state of the IC is unstable immediately after the power is turned on. It is therefore necessary to keep the
PCL pin low for the time shown below to allow the system to initialize. This power-on clear places the system in the following
state:
•
•
Test mode is not specified.
All character data in video RAM (12 rows × 24 columns) is cleared (to display-off data (FEH: µPD6461/7EH: µPD6462)) and
blinking is turned off.
•
•
•
•
The video RAM write address is (row 0, column 0).
The character size is single (minimum) for all rows.
The output distribution format is set to the default (the VC1 and VC2 bits are set to 0).
Display is turned off and LC oscillation is turned on.
The time required for power-on clear is calculated as follows. No commands must be input during this time.
Time required for power-on clear = tPCLLNote
+ {Time required for clearing video RAM}
= 10(µs) + {10(µs) + 12/fOSC(MHz) × 288}
fOSC(MHz) : LC oscillation frequency or external clock frequency
Note Refer to POWER-ON CLEAR SPECIFICATIONS in 6. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
A dot clock input (to the OSCIN pin) is necessary to clear video RAM. Input a dot clock when an external clock input is
selected.

The video RAM batch clear command places the system in the following state:
•
All character data in video RAM (12 rows × 24 columns) is cleared (to display-off data (FEH: µPD6461/7EH:
µPD6462)) and blinking is turned off.
•
•
•
•
The video RAM write address is (row 0, column 0).
The character size is single (minimum) for all rows.
The output distribution format is set to the default (the VC1 and VC2 bits are set to 0).
Display is turned off and LC oscillation is turned on.
The time required for clearing video RAM is calculated as follows. No command must be input while the video RAM is
being cleared.
Time required to clear video RAM = 10(µs) + 12/fOSC(MHz) × 288
fOSC(MHz) : LC oscillation frequency or external clock frequency
A dot clock input (to the OSCIN pin) is necessary to clear the video RAM. Input a dot clock when external clock input
is selected.
Remark Power-on clear using the PCL pin is hardware reset, initializing the IC, including clearing the video RAM and
releasing test mode. The video RAM batch clear command, in contrast, performs software reset by initializing
the IC without first releasing test mode.

Blinking control bits
These bits are used to turn on or off the blinking of characters for which blinking has been enabled with the displayed
character control command. The blinking ratio is 1:1, one of three blinking frequencies being selectable for the entire
screen.
LC oscillation control bit
This bit is used to turn the oscillator on or off. You can stop the oscillator when no character is being displayed,
thus reducing the power consumption.
While the oscillator is stopped, it is not possible to write to video RAM. Turn on the oscillator before attempting
to write to video RAM.
Cautions 1. When using LC oscillation (LC oscillation control bit = 1): When character display is turned on, the
oscillation is synchronized with Hsync, stopping when Hsync goes low. When character display
is turned off, oscillation continues regardless of the state of Hsync.
2. When using an external clock (LC oscillation control bit = 1): While the oscillator is turned on, clock
pulses are supplied to the IC internal circuit. While the oscillator is turned off, no clock pulses are
supplied.
•
Character display on/off control bit
This bit is used to turn character display on or off. Character display is turned on or off upon the detection of a
falling edge of Hsync.

Control bits for the horizontal display start position
These bits are used to specify the horizontal display start position (timing) as one of 32 steps in units of 12 dots
(12/fOSC (MHz)). Settable positions are based on the rising edge of the horizontal synchronizing signal input to the
Hsync pin. The 32 positions are calculated by adding 12 dots, one to 32 times, to the position equivalent to 16 clock
pulses (16/fOSC (MHz)) from the rising edge (fOSC (MHz): LC oscillation frequency or external input clock frequency).
Control bits for the vertical display start position
These bits are used to specify the vertical display start position as one of 32 steps in units of three lines (or 32
steps in units of nine lines when specified with a mask option). The minimum settable position is three lines from a
rising edge of the vertical synchronizing signal input to the Vsync pin.

Rimming control bit
This bit is used to specify whether all characters displayed on the screen are rimmed.
Rimming: Whenever there is a dot at the right or left edge of the display area for a character, rimming of the dot will
encroach into the adjacent character display area. For dots at the top or bottom edge, however, no rim is
added either above the top edge or below the bottom edge, that is, rimming does not encroach into the
character display area above or below. Other dots are rimmed as shown below.
Example
Character dots
Rim
The width of a rim is always 1t (minimum dot) regardless of the character size.
•
Background control bits
These bits are used to select no background, minimum background, or overall background as the background type.
The background color is specified with the background/rim color control command.
No background:
Outputs only character data.
Minimum background: Adds a background of an area that is wider than the character display area by a minimum
of one dot at each side.
Overall background: Adds a background over the entire screen.
•
Background and rimming in RGB+VC1+VC2 mode
Characters for which the VC2 channel is specified with the displayed character control command are not output to
the RGB or VC1 channel. When background (minimum/overall) is specified for the RGB or VC1 channel, no background
is added to the areas for the VC2-specified characters. By contrast for the VC2 channel, a background is added only
to those areas for VC2-specified characters. (Refer to 1.4 DISPLAY IN RGB+VC1+VC2 MODE and 1.4.4 Display of
VC2-Specified Characters for details of the display of VC2-specified character areas for the RGB or VC1 channel.)
When RGB+3BLK (RGB compatible blanking) mode is selected, only the background control bits for the RGB
channel are valid. Those for the VC1 and VC2 channels are invalid (In RGB+3BLK mode, no pin outputs a signal for
the VC2 channel. The VC1 pin is used to output the logical OR of the R, G, and B outputs.).

3.12 DISPLAYED CHARACTER CONTROL COMMAND
This command specifies the attributes of each character, including the character pattern, color, and whether it is blinked.
When inputting this command, ensure that LC oscillator is turned on (if the LC oscillator is turned off, it is not possible to
write to video RAM).
This command is a 2-byte continuous command. When continuously writing characters with the same attributes (except
for a pattern), you need input only the eight low-order bits (D0 to D7) of the command for the second and subsequent
characters. In this case, the write column address is automatically incremented (After a character has been written into
column 23, the next character is automatically written into left-most column 0 of the next row. When a character is written
into column 23 of row 11, the next character is automatically written into column 0 of row 0.).

The 2-byte continuous command is used to write characters to video RAM. When continuously writing characters for
which the specifications for the color, blinking, reversing, and VC2 channel are the same, transfer the first byte of the first
command then continuously transfer only the second bytes (character pattern addresses) of the commands.
When changing any part of the first byte, end continuous input (by setting the CS signal to high or transferring the end
code for second-byte continuous input) then transfer the newly modified first byte.

4.4 CONTINUOUS INPUT OF COMMAND
Transfer each of the 1-byte, 2-byte, and 2-byte successive commands from a microcontroller to the µPD6461, 6462
as follows.
To transfer a 1-byte or 2-byte command, or a 2-byte successive command with blinking data changed after a 2-
byte successive command has been transferred, either make CS high once, or transfer 2-byte successive command
end code (FFH: µPD6461/7FH: µPD6462) at the end of the 2-byte successive command. In the latter case, it is not
necessary to make CS high.

It is not necessary to make CS low and then back high again.
Remark By using the 2-byte successive command end code, the CS pin may remain low. However, it is
recommended to make CS pin high to improve the noise immunity.

5. CHARACTER PATTERNS
The µPD6461, 6462 can display 256 (µPD6461)/128 (µPD6462) character patterns, including alphanumerics, Kanji
characters, and symbols, which are stored in the character generator ROM. Each pattern in the character generator ROM
can be modified by specifying a mask code option. However, the display-off data at character address FEH (µPD6461)/
7EH (µPD6462) and end code for second-byte continuous input at FFH (µPD6461)/7FH (µPD6462) cannot be modified.
No character pattern can be stored at these addresses.
When none of the 12 × 18 dots are filled for a character pattern at addresses 00H to FDH (µPD6461)/00H to 7DH
(µPD6462), the character pattern is called blank data. Character address FEH (µPD6461)/7EH (µPD6462) contains display-
off data. Blank data and display-off data are represented in the same way (with no dots filled) in character patterns shown
on the following pages, but they are different as follows:

You cannot specify display-off data for addresses other than FEH (µPD6461)/7EH (µPD6462) when using a mask code
option. Blank data, however, can be specified at any address from 00H to FDH (µPD6461)/00H to 7DH (µPD6462) (address
FFH (µPD6461)/7FH (µPD6462) cannot be used because it contains the end code for second-byte continuous input).
The character patterns of the µPD6461GS-101/102, µPD6462GS-001 (NEC’s standard model) are shown on the
following pages.

Notes 1. CR constant must be satisfied with Power-ON Clear Specification (refer to 6. ELECTRICAL
CHARACTERISTICS).
2. This circuit can reduce the number of external components and facilitates the adjustment of oscillation
frequency, using LC module (part number: Q285NCIS-11181, manufactured by Toko, Inc.)
3. Connect these pins as follows when inputting external clock:
OSCIN pin: external clock input, OSCOUT pin: open
4. Signals in ( ) are set by a mask option (RGB + RGB compatible blanking).
Remarks 1. The number in the parentheses indicates the pin number of the µPD6461GT-xxx.
2. With the µPD6461GT-xxx, influence by noise via lead frame can be surpressed by connecting the
N.C. pins (3, 12, 13, 22) to GND.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES
1 PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
Note: Strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction
of the gate oxide and ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must
be taken to stop generation of static electricity as much as possible, and
quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control must
be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended
to avoid using insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor
devices must be stored and transported in an anti-static container, static
shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools
including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should
be grounded using wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched
with bare hands. Similar precautions need to be taken for PW boards with
semiconductor devices on it.
2 HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS
Note: No connection for CMOS device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If no
connection is provided to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input
level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence causing malfunction. CMOS
devices behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels of
CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down
circuitry. Each unused pin should be connected to VDD or GND with a
resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of being an output pin. All
handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device and
related specifications governing the devices.
3 STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Note: Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS device. Produc-
tion process of MOS does not define the initial operation status of the device.
Immediately after the power source is turned ON, the devices with reset
function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does not guarantee
out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not initialized
until the reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed imme-
diately after power-on for devices having reset function.

While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its semiconductor devices,
the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or
property arising from a defect in an NEC semiconductor device, customers must incorporate sufficient safety
measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on a
customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of
a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each device
before using it in a particular application.
Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment,
audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic
equipment and industrial robots
Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
Specific: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books.
If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade,
they should contact an NEC sales representative in advance.
Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product.
