The user can either make an oscillator to create the
backplane frequency or drive a signal into BPIN leaving
BPOSC open.
To make an oscillator, pins BPOSC and
BPIN must be connected together and the appropriate R

TESTINPUTS
The DOUT pin is available from segment 85 for cascading
devices to drive more segments and for verifying the data
integrity. Thisoutput can drive 2 TTL loads. It changes on the

The internal backplane signal is tested continuously to be at
least 10Hz. If the detector senses f<10Hz, then the segments
are forced to the same voltage as the backplane (all segments
in "OFF" state). However, the detector is only functional while
