LCD driver for instrument-grade displays
The Texas Instruments MM5453VX/NOPB is a serial-input LCD driver from the COPS™ series, designed to drive 4.5 digits in 7-segment plus decimal point format, as well as alphanumeric and bar graph displays. It operates from a 3V to 10V supply, making it suitable for both battery-powered instruments and regulated industrial rails. The serial interface keeps the host microcontroller pin count low — three or four lines handle the display update.
Supply range and display drive
The serial interface accepts data and clock from the host, reducing the number of board traces compared to a parallel-driver approach. This matters when routing to a front-panel display across a PCB or a short ribbon cable.
Package and mounting
The MM5453VX/NOPB comes in a 44-lead PLCC with J-Leads (44-PLCC), a surface-mount package that requires reflow soldering. The J-Lead footprint saves board area compared to a through-hole DIP but needs a reflow profile — not a hand-solder swap for an existing through-hole socket. The supplier device package is 44-PLCC with body dimensions of 16.58 mm x 16.58 mm. The part is also available in Tape & Reel or Cut Tape options, which affects the pick-and-place feeder setup.
Temperature grade and environment
Rated for -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, this driver fits industrial and outdoor applications — factory-floor HMI panels, outdoor telecom equipment, engine-bay instrumentation, and unheated storage areas. The wide temperature range also covers automotive cabin environments, though the part carries no explicit AEC-Q100 qualification in the listing.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MM5453VX/NOPB is listed as Active and RoHS3 compliant.
