CHAPTER 12 LCD CONTROLLER/DRIVER
G
Display RAM
This 42 x 4-bit block of RAM controls the segment output signals. Its contents are automatically read out to
the segment outputs in synchronous with the timing of the selected common signal.
G
Prescaler
The prescaler generates one of the 4 frame frequencies according to the LCD control register setting.
G
Timing controller
This block controls the segment and common signals based on the frame frequency and LCD control
register settings.
G
V/I converter
This circuit generates alternating current waveforms from the voltage signals it receives from the timing
controller to drive the LCD.
G
Common output driver
This block contains the drivers for the LCD common pins.
G
Segment output driver
This block contains the drivers for the LCD segment pins.
G
Voltage divider (optional)
This voltage divider is used to provide the divided LCD driving voltage. The voltage divider can be
connected externally.
