doubt-Intel 8279 display controller

Nov 08, 2006 2 Replies

Hi



Intel 8279 display controller provides 3 choices for blanking a 7 seg display: All zeroes, all ones and 20 hex. Why is the 20 hex choice provided? How does it blank a display?



Thanks in advance Neha.



Because 20h is the ASCII value for a space.
