Figure 1: MOS-AL162F
The MOS-AL162F is an intelligent LCD display designed to decrease development time by
providing an instant solution to any project. With the ability to communicate via serial RS232/TTL
protocol, the versatile MOS-AL162F can be used with virtually any controller. The ease of use is further
enhanced by an intuitive command structure to allow display settings such as backlight brightness and
contrast to be software controlled. A general purpose output allows the controller to switch a single
electronic or electro-mechanical device by issuing commands to the display unit. This can be used for
controlling LEDs, relays, etc. Additionally, up to thirty-two custom characters such as character sets for
bar graphs, and medium numbers may be stored in the non-volatile memory to be easily recalled and
displayed at any time.
