Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates

Product specification

PCF8576

1 FEATURES

• Single-chip LCD controller/driver

• Selectable backplane drive configuration: static or 2/3/4

backplane multiplexing

• Selectable display bias configuration: static, 1⁄2 or 1⁄3

• Internal LCD bias generation with voltage-follower

buffers

• 40 segment drives: up to twenty 8-segment numeric

characters; up to ten 15-segment alphanumeric

characters; or any graphics of up to 160 elements

• 40 × 4-bit RAM for display data storage

• Auto-incremented display data loading across device

subaddress boundaries

• Display memory bank switching in static and duplex

drive modes

• Versatile blinking modes

• LCD and logic supplies may be separated

• Wide power supply range: from 2 V for low-threshold

LCDs and up to 9 V for guest-host LCDs and

high-threshold (automobile) twisted nematic LCDs

• Low power consumption

• Power-saving mode for extremely low power

consumption in battery-operated and telephone

applications

• I2C-bus interface

• TTL/CMOS compatible

• Compatible with any 4-bit, 8-bit or 16-bit

microprocessors/microcontrollers

• May be cascaded for large LCD applications (up to

2560 segments possible)

• Cascadable with 24-segment LCD driver PCF8566

• Optimized pinning for plane wiring in both single and

multiple PCF8576 applications

• Space-saving 56-lead plastic very small outline package

(VSO56)

• Very low external component count (at most one

resistor, even in multiple device applications)

• Compatible with chip-on-glass technology

• Manufactured in silicon gate CMOS process.

2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The PCF8576 is a peripheral device which interfaces to

almost any Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with low multiplex

rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or

multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up

to 40 segments and can easily be cascaded for larger LCD

applications. The PCF8576 is compatible with most

microprocessors/microcontrollers and communicates via a

two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Communication overheads

are minimized by a display RAM with auto-incremented

addressing, by hardware subaddressing and by display

memory switching (static and duplex drive modes).
