From the Giant Internet IC Masturbator on my home page (http://www.xs4all.nl/~falstaff/GIICM.html) TIL311 Dot-matrix hexadecimal display with built-in latch and driver, left and right hand decimal point. VDD is the LED supply, usually the same as VCC and must be 5V. DPL and DPR are direct connections to the catodes of the decimal points (no drivers, no current limiter in between). +---+--+---+ VCC |1 +--+ 14| VDD D1 |2 13| D2 D0 |3 12| D3 DPL |4 TIL | LE |5 311 10| DPR | | GND |7 8| BL +----------+ For explanations about assumptions I make in these pinouts, see the web page.
