Picture cell driver for STN (LCD driver)
for low voltage power supplies
BU9718KV
The BU9718KV is a driver IC designed for the character-type STN liquid crystal panels which are ideal for applications such as portable devices. The number of display segments includes 32 output segments and 3 common outputs, enabling drive of up to 96 segments. A compact 48-pin QFP package with a pitch of 0.5 mm is used, enabling
compact size for the set as a whole.
•
Features
1) Operates on 3V power supply.
2) Low current dissipation. (0.1µA in low power mode
(actual value))
3) Compact package. (molded section is 7.0 mm
ⵧ
)
4) Up to 32 segment output pins and 3 common output
pins are provided, enabling a total display of up to
96 segments.
5) 1 / 3 duty display.
6) Either 1 / 2 or 1 / 3 bias can be selected for power supplyfor LCD display.
•
Applications
Portable terminals (POS, ECR, PDA, and others),
movie projectors, cameras, telephones (cordless hand-
held telephone units), and others Low-voltage power
supply sets

When CS is HIGH, data can be transferred. Data is sent to the shift register at the rising edge of CK. After all of the
DI data has been transferred, CS should be set to LOW. The voltage corresponding to the display data transferred at
the falling edge of CS is output.
