Control 3 (expandable to 8) 7 segment LED displays with 3 io pins and a driver IC

by Ken Mathis

Ken Mathis of ASC shares this code:

;FILE NAME:MAX7219
;Date:June 16, 2004
;Programmer:Ken Mathis
;Purpose of this program is to control several seven segment displays using the MAX7219
;seven segment display driver IC. The seven segment displays are multiplexed with the 
;7219 and are commone cathode type displays.


;This test code controls only 3 seven segment displays. The code can easily be expanded 
;for the max7219 to control up to 8 seven segment displays while consuming only 3 SX
;output pins
;Where appropriate, explanations are provided to account for more than 3 seven segment displays

;This configuration uses the SX internal oscillator as the timimg for shifting data
;out is not critical

;dig0, dig1, & dig2 represent three 7 segment displays with a common cathode and
;dig0 is the least significant display
dig0	ds	2	;assign 2 bytes of space for Digit 0 - 10 & 11
dig1	ds	2	;assign 2 bytes of space for Digit 1 - 12 & 13

;To display more digits variable manes MUST be added here sequentially
;after dig2 for the code to properly work.


; !!! IF 8 SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAYS ARE USED, there will be no more room
;for the word counter (wrdcnt) in bank one. To avoid switching banks in 
;this circumstance, the upper or lower byte of any of the initialization 
;words (Decode, ShtDn, ScnLmt, or Inten) can be reused/reloaded with
;the appropriate value after the initialization if finished. A comment
;will be shown where to reload Decode if needed

;------[MAX7219 Operation]----------------------------------------------------
;The 7219 must first be initialized. Initialization is done by sending serial
;data to the IC. Four 16 bit values sent will complete the initialization.

;To send a 16 bit value load is brought LOW, then each of 16 bits (msb 1st) is 
;clocked into the IC, and load is then brought HIGH to complete the shifting 
;of 16 bits into the device

;For each word sent to the IC, the most significant byte is the address and the
;lower byte sets the option for each particular function.
;For the descriptions that follow values will be shown as $Xx. The upper case x
;represents the upper nibble and the value is "don't care"

;DECODE MODE - Address $X9 
;Options	$X0 = No decoding
;		$X1 = Decode digit 0 (BCD)
;		$XF = Decode digits 0-3
;		$FF = Decode digits 0-7
;Sending $090F sets decode mode to enable digits 0-3 and unstucts that the least
;sig nibble is BCD 

;SHUTDOWN MODE - Address $XC
;Options	$X0 = Shutdown
;		$X1 = Normal Operation
;Sending $0C01 sets the IC for normal operation

;SCANLIMIT - Address $XB
;Options	$Xx where the least significant nibble sets the number of digits
;		to enable. digit 0, x = 0. digits 0 & 1 x = 1. digits 0, 1, & 2 x = 2
;Sending $0B02 enbables digts 0, 1 & 2
;Sending $0B07 enables all 8 digits

;INTENSITY - Address $XA
;Options	$00 = minimum intensity
;		$FF = maximum intensity
;		See MAX7219 data sheet for resistor selection and current

				;high or low depending on state of bit carried out

	cjne	bitcnt,#8,j2	;check if 8 bits have been sent out
	inc	fsr		;if 8 bits were sent, increment fsr to point to next 
				;register
	jmp	$-8		;move back up to call rotate

	cja	bitcnt,#0,j1	;check of bit counter is at zero (16 bits shifted out?)
	setb	load		;if 16 bits shifted out, load them into the 7219
	dec	wrdcnt		;check if the 4 initialization words shifted out
	cja	wrdcnt,#0,j3	;if word counter is above 0, jump to j3
	jmp	$+5		;if the 4 initialization words shifted out jump down 5 lines

	inc	fsr		;increment fsr to point to the next register
	jmp	$-$18		;jump up to the "clrb load" instruction to start another
				;sequence of shifting out 16 more bits


;-----[shift actual data into max7219]---------
;Data is sent to the 7219 in the same manner as the initialization described above.
;load is brought LOW, 16 bits clocked into device and load is brought HIGH to complete
;the loading of one digit.

;For each digit, the upper byte of 16 bits is the address of the digit and the lower
;byte is the value sent to the 7 segment. This value is either BCD or the "word" to control
;each of the 8 segments (decimal point). Remember that DECODE MODE determines how to 
;use the lower byte

;For	digit 0 the address is $01
;	digit 1 the address is $02
;	digit 2 the address is $03

;If decode mode was selected sending the 16 bit value of $0207 will tell the IC that
;digit number 1 gets a value of 7


	mov	w,#$10
	mov	fsr,w		;point to first address of digit 0 holding the most sig byte
	mov	bitcnt,w	;load the bit counter with 16

;If using 8 seven segment displays as decribed above, comment out the next two lines 
	mov	w,#$03		;since three digits are used in this example, wrdcnt is loaded w/3
	mov	wrdcnt,w
;Use these next two lines if 8 seven segments are used.
;	mov	w,#$08
;	mov	Decode,w

;----[Start of routine to send out first 16 bits of TEST data]-------------------------------------
;The rest of this code is exactly the same as the initialization code, so no comments added here.
;see initialzation above for comments.
