PCF8566
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
• 1:4 multiplex with 1⁄2 bias is ----3-2---1-- = 1.528
The advantage of these LCD drive modes is a reduction of the LCD full scale voltage VLCD
as follows:
• 1:3 multiplex (1⁄2 bias): V LCD = 6 × V off (RMS) = 2.449V off (RMS)
• 1:4 multiplex (1⁄2 bias): V LCD = (---4-----×--3-------3----) = 2.309V off (RMS)
These compare with V LCD = 3V off (RMS) when 1⁄3 bias is used.
It should be noted that VLCD is sometimes referred as the LCD operating voltage.
