Liquid Crystal Display Controller
TECHNICAL DATA
IN472-3
The IN472-3-3 Liquid Crystal Display (LDC) Controller is a
perpheral member of the COPS
TM
family, fabricated using CMOS
technology. The IN472-3 drives a multiplexed liquid crystal directly.
Data is loaded serially and is held in internal latches. The In472-3
contains an on-chip oscillator and generates all the multi-level
waveforms for back-planes and segment outputs on a triplex display.
One IN472-3 can drive 36 segments multiplexed as 3 x 12 (4
display). Two IN472-3 devices can be used together to drive
72 segments (3 x 24) which could be an 8
