ET6226M IC use with STM32

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am reaching out with a question regarding one of the ICs, the ET6226M. I would like to confirm whether this IC requires a continuous signal from the STM32 microcontroller for operation, or if it only needs a one-time signal each time the display numbers need to be updated. I need a reference too.

Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
HA

HI @Supermario ,

It looks like the chip has internal clock, thus the MCU does not need to provide continuous stream of display content.
Note that if you have also a keyboard matrix there, the example circuit shown in the datasheet will cause β€œghost” segments to be shown on the display if user presses more than one button concurrently.
Cheers, heke

Hello @Supermario

Welcome to the TechForum

@heke is correct, and you can see the example in the datasheet on page 7
