1.1. Welcome
Thanks for using 8*32 dot-matrix LED series info board by Sure Electronics. You may
refer to the following table for members of the 8*32 product family. It is required to use
peripheral circuit to light up this kind of info board via the port on the board itself. This info
board can cascade as many as 4 pieces together to fulfill various needs of users （such as
displaying different contents）and Sure Electronics provides 16-pin flat cable to facilitate the
connection.
This info board employs HT1632 as its LED drive chip. Meanwhile, the LED dot-matrix
displayed is mapped with the RAM of HT1632. It supports PWM adjustment in 16 grades.
Sure Electronics has provided a tailored demo board so that users can light up this info
board.

 Overview

1.2. Quick Start

（1）Use with singular board
According to the pinout of the 8*32 board, there are 4 equivalent pins marked as CS1,
CS2, CS3 and CS4 and they are associated with the 4-slide DIP switch on the reverse side
of the 8*32 board. Each of which can be selected as the switch for the entire 8*32 board, so
before connecting with drive board, make sure the slide of the pre-selected pin for switching
on & off the 8*32 board has been pushed to "ON". As long as the time sequence of HT1632
can be met, the LED info board can be lit up. You may refer to “Port Definition” in Chapter 2
“Hardware Detail”.

For use with single board:

Pick a random slide on DIP
switch and push it to ON.
For use with more boards MCU

connected: Push related slide Driver Board

on DIP switch to ON.

（2）Use of boards cascaded

Similar to the use of singular board, the use of cascaded boards requires you to push
related switch on SW1 to “ON”. The adjacent LED boards shall be connected with flat cable
and you may cut reserved V-CUT sides off if you want adjacent boards to be closer to each
other. You may refer to Fig 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 for detail.

Both 16-pin male sockets on the rear of info board are equally functioned as
either input or output port. You can choose a nearby socket according to the
MCU
detailed placement of info board when connecting more boards in series.
Driver Board Users are allowed to reassign the code of each info board in assembling and
remember to push related slide on DIP switch to ON.

3.1. Display Memory

The static display memory, RAM, is organized into 64*4bits or 96*4 bits to store the display
data. Our product is designed in 32 out bits & 8 commons mode, so the RAM size is 64*4
bits. The contents of the RAM are directly mapped into the contents of the LED driver. Data
in the RAM can be accessed by the READ, WRITE, and READ-MODIFY-WRITE
commands. the following table shows the mapping from the RAM to the LED pattern:

Com7 Com6 Com5 Com4 Addr. Com3 Com2 Com1 Com0 Addr.
Out0 01H 00H
Out1 03H 02H
Out2 05H 04H

3.2. Command Format

The command mode consists of a system configuration command, a system frequency
selection command, a LED configuration command, and an operating command. The data
mode, on the other hand, includes READ, WRITE, and READ-MODIFY-WRITE operations.
The mode of command should be issued before the data or command is transferred. If
successive commands have been issued, the command mode ID, namely 1 0 0, can be
omitted. While the system is operating in the non-successive command or the
non-successive address data mode, the CS pin should be set to “1” and the previous
operation mode will be reset also. Once the CS pin returns to “0”, a new operation mode ID
should be issued first.
