Futaba VFD modules, the LCD EMULATORS.

Futaba LCD EMULATORS are compact, low power VFD modules designed toreplace industry standard LCD modules. Our VFD modules have superiorfeatures that will enhance your system’s appearance and performance. AllFutaba LCD EMULATORS have a standard LCD interface, a CPU with anintegrated character generator, driver ICs, and a DC-DC/AC converter. A dual port RAM allows data and instructions to be sent to the modulecontinuously. As an option, each module may be configured by the userto have an Intel I80 parallel interface or a synchronous serial interface.
