How to connect 5V VFD48 Module with 3V3 MCU
Specifications:
Panel
Name: BOE VFD48 (Made in the P.R.C.);
Panel Size: :68mm(L)*48mm(W)*8.5mm(T);
Module Supply: 5V DC via Arduino or USB;
Working Current: ~200mA;
Module Size:70mm(L)*55mm(W)*15mm(H);
PCB Size:70mm(W)*55mm(H);
PCB Color: Black;
Weight:56g;
The vfd48 module also works with STM8S/STM32/PI/51/AVR etc.;
The module works with any 5V DC MCU, especially designed for ARDUINO!
Features:
1). 5V Ready, easy to be used. Can connect to your ARDUINO UNO board with only 3 signal wires;
2). High efficiency power circuit, no transformer, no heat, Low HV, very safe, High Brightness;
3). All SMT components, very thin PCB, easy to drive;
4). All segments in the VFD panel can be lighted up;
5). Module contains a self-test jumper, when shut the jumper and then plug the power on, the module will enter the self-testing module, no need other MCU, easy to check module's condition;
6). Contains over-current protection, and reverse connection protection circuits;
7). Open source ARDUINO NUO source code, pure C code, provide high level function, easy to be used;
9). Simple 3-wire SPI interface, with EN pin, support adjusting the global brightness and shutdown the High Voltage and Filament Supply completely.
