This document describes the features and characteristics of Noritake ITRON VFD module 2x40, 5mm dot character, including 5x7 dot character, wide operating temperature range, single 5V supply, high brightness blue green display, selectable 4/8 bit M68/i80 interface, ASCII and extended character font, etc.
The CU40025SCPB-W6J is a 5×7 dot character vacuum fluorescent display module that includes the VFD glass, driver, and micro‑controller ICs with refresh RAM, character generator and interface logic. It offers a 2 × 40 character layout with 5 mm high characters and a high‑brightness blue‑green illumination.
The module uses a high‑speed 8‑bit parallel interface compatible with 5 V CMOS and can be configured for either M68 or i80 series CPU buses via a solder link. Electrical specifications include a 5.0 VDC supply (±5 %), 330 mA typical current, and four‑level brightness control. Detailed pin‑out, software commands, and environmental limits are also provided.
