S6B0723 PRELIMINARY SPEC. VER. 0.9 65 COM / 132 SEG DRIVER & CONTROLLER FOR STN LCD
INTRODUCTION
The S6B0723 is a single-chip driver & controller LSI for graphic dot-matrix liquid crystal display systems. This chip
can be connected directly to a microprocessor, accepts serial or 8-bit parallel display data from the microprocessor,
stores the display data in an on-chip display data RAM of 65 x 132 bits and generates a liquid crystal display drive
signal independent of the microprocessor. It provides a high-flexible display section due to 1-to-1 correspondence
between on-chip display data RAM bits and LCD panel pixels. It contains 65 common driver circuits and 132
segment driver circuits, so that a single chip can drive a 65 x 132 dot display. And the capacity of the display can be
increased through the use of master/slave multi-chip structures. This chip is able to minimize power consumption
because it performs display data RAM read/write operation with no external operation clock. In addition, because it
contains power supply circuits necessary to drive liquid crystal, which is a display clock oscillator circuit, high
performance voltage converter circuit, high-accuracy voltage regulator circuit, low power consumption voltage
divider resistors and OP-Amp for liquid crystal driver power voltage, it is possible to make the lowest power
consumption display system with the fewest components for high performance portable systems.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACE
Chip Select Input
There are CS1B and CS2 pins for chip selection. The S6B0723 can interface with an MPU only when CS1B is "L"
and CS2 is "H". When these pins are set to any other combination, RS, E_RDB, and RW_WRB inputs are disabled
and DB0 to DB7 are to be high impedance. And, in case of serial interface, the internal shift register and the counter
are reset.
Parallel / Serial Interface
S6B0723 has three types of interface with an MPU, which are one serial and two parallel interfaces. This parallel or
serial interface is determined by PS pin as shown in table 8.

Serial Interface (PS = "L")
When the S6B0723 is active, serial data (DB7) and serial clock (DB6) inputs are enabled. And not active, the internal
8-bit shift register and the 3-bit counter are reset. Serial data can be read on the rising edge of serial clock going into
DB6 and processed as 8-bit parallel data on the eighth serial clock. Serial data input is display data when RS is high
and control data when RS is low. Since the clock signal (DB6) is easy to be affected by the external noise caused by
the line length, the operation check on the actual machine is recommended.

Busy Flag
The Busy Flag indicates whether the S6B0723 is operating or not. When DB7 is "H" in read status operation, this
device is in busy status and will accept only read status instruction. If the cycle time is correct, the microprocessor
needs not to check this flag before each instruction, which improves the MPU performance.

Page 19
132 SEG / 65 COM DRIVER & CONTROLLER FOR STN LCD PRELIMINARY SPEC. VER. 0.9 S6B0723
Data Transfer
The S6B0723 uses bus holder and internal data bus for data transfer with the MPU. When writing data from the MPU
to on-chip RAM, data is automatically transferred from the bus holder to the RAM as shown in figure 4. And when
reading data from on-chip RAM to the MPU, the data for the initial read cycle is stored in the bus holder (dummy
read) and the MPU reads this stored data from bus holder for the next data read cycle as shown in figure5. This
means that a dummy read cycle must be inserted between each pair of address sets when a sequence of address
sets is executed. Therefore, the data of the specified address cannot be output with the read display data instruction
right after the address sets, but can be output at the second read of data.

DISPLAY DATA RAM (DDRAM)
The Display Data RAM stores pixel data for the LCD. It is 65-row by 132-column addressable array. Each pixel can
be selected when the page and column addresses are specified. The 65 rows are divided into 8 pages of 8 lines and
the 9th page with a single line (DB0 only). Data is read from or written to the 8 lines of each page directly through
DB0 to DB7. The display data of DB0 to DB7 from the microprocessor correspond to the LCD common lines as
shown in figure 6. The microprocessor can read from and write to RAM through the I/O buffer. Since the LCD
controller operates independently, data can be written into RAM at the same time as data is being displayed without
causing the LCD flicker.

Figure 6. RAM-to-LCD Data Transfer
Page Address Circuit
This circuit is for providing a Page Address to Display Data RAM shown in figure 8. It incorporates 4-bit Page
Address register changed by only the "Set Page" instruction. Page Address 8 (DB3 is "H", but DB2, DB1 and DB0
are "L") is a special RAM area for the icons and display data DB0 is only valid. When Page Address is above 8, it is
impossible to access to on-chip RAM.
Line Address Circuit
This circuit assigns DDRAM a Line Address corresponding to the first line (COM0) of the display. Therefore, by
setting Line Address repeatedly, it is possible to realize the screen scrolling and page switching without changing
the contents of on-chip RAM as shown in figure 8. It incorporates 6-bit line address register changed by only the
initial display line instruction and 6-bit counter circuit. At the beginning of each LCD frame, the contents of register
are copied to the line counter which is increased by CL signal and generates the Line Address for transferring the
132-bit RAM data to the display data latch circuit. However, display data of icons are not scrolled because the MPU
can not access Line Address of icons.

Page 22
S6B0723 PRELIMINARY SPEC. VER. 0.9 65 COM / 132 SEG DRIVER & CONTROLLER FOR STN LCD
Column Address Circuit
Column Address circuit has an 8-bit preset counter that provides column address to the Display Data RAM as shown
in figure 8. When Set Column Address MSB / LSB instruction is issued, 8-bit [Y7:Y0] is updated. And, since this
address is increased by 1 each a read or write data instruction, microprocessor can access the display data
continuously. However, the counter is not increased and locked if a non-existing address above 84H. It is unlocked
if a column address is set again by set Column Address MSB / LSB instruction. And the Column Address counter is
independent of page address register.
ADC Select instruction makes it possible to invert the relationship between the Column Address and the segment
outputs. It is necessary to rewrite the display data on built-in RAM after issuing ADC select instruction. Refer to the
following figure 7.
Figure 7. The Relationship between the Column Address and the Segment Outputs
Segment Control Circuit
This circuit controls the display data by the display ON / OFF, reverse display ON / OFF and entire display ON / OFF
instructions without changing the data in the display data RAM.

LCD DISPLAY CIRCUITS
Oscillator
This is completely on-chip oscillator and its frequency is nearly independent of VDD. This oscillator signal is used in
the voltage converter and display timing generation circuit. The oscillator circuit is only enabled when MS = “H” and
CLS = “H". When on-chip oscillator is not used, CLS pin must be "L" condition. In this time, external clock must be
input from CL pin.
Display Timing Generator Circuit
This circuit generates some signals to be used for displaying LCD. The display clock, CL generated by oscillation
clock, generates a clock to the line counter and a latch signal to the display data latch. The line address of on-chip
RAM is generated in synchronization with the display clock (CL) and the 132-bit display data is latched by the
display data latch circuit in synchronization with the display clock. The display data which is read to the LCD driver is
completely independent of the access to the display data RAM from the microprocessor. The LCD AC signal, M is
generated from the display clock. 2-frame AC driver waveforms with internal timing signal are shown in figure 9.
In a multiple chip configuration, the slave chip requires the M, CL and DISP signals from the master. Table 11 shows
the M, SYNC, CL, and DISP status.

Voltage Regulator Circuits
The function of the internal voltage regulator circuits is to determine liquid crystal operating voltage, V0, by adjusting
resistors, Ra and Rb, within the range of |V0| < |VOUT|. Because VOUT is the operating voltage of operationalamplifier circuits shown in Figure 15, it is necessary to be applied internally or externally.
For the Eq. 1, we determine V0 by Ra, Rb and VEV. The Ra and Rb are connected internally or externally by INTRS
pin. And VEV called the voltage of electronic volume is determined by Eq. 2, where the parameter α is the value
selected by instruction, "Set Reference Voltage Register", within the range 0 to 63. VREF voltage at Ta = 25°C is
shown in table 14-1.

In Case of Using Internal Resistors, Ra and Rb (INTRS = "H")
When INTRS pin is "H", resistor Ra is connected internally between VR pin and VSS, and Rb is connected between
V0 and VR. We determine V0 by two instructions, "Regulator Resistor Select" and "Set Reference Voltage".

Voltage Follower Circuits
VLCD voltage (V0) is resistively divided into four voltage levels (V1, V2, V3, V4), and those output impedance are
converted by the Voltage Follower for increasing drive capability. The following table shows the relationship
between V1 to V4 level and each duty ratio.

High Power Mode
The power supply circuit equipped in the S6B0723 for LCD drive has very low power consumption (in normal mode:
HPMB = “H”). If use for LCD panels with large loads, this low-power power supply may cause display quality to
degrade. When this occurs, setting the HPMB pin to “L”(high power mode) can improve the quality of the display.
Moreover, if the quality of display is inadequate even after high power mode has been set, then it is necessary to add
a liquid crystal drive power supply externally (Vout or V0 or V1 / V2 / V3 / V4).

Power Save (Compound Instruction)
If the entire display ON / OFF instruction is issued during the display OFF state, S6B0723 enters the Power
Save status to reduce the power consumption to the static power consumption value. According to the status of
static indicator mode, power save is entered to one mode of sleep and standby mode. When Static Indicator
mode is ON, standby mode is issued. When OFF, sleep mode is issued. Power save mode is released by the
entire display OFF instruction.

This stops all operations in the LCD display system, and as long as there are no access from the MPU, the
consumption current is reduced to a value near the static current. The internal modes during sleep mode are
as follows:
a. The oscillator circuit and the LCD power supply circuit are halted.
b. All liquid crystal drive circuits are halted, and the segment in common drive outputs output a VSS level.
− Standby Mode
The duty LCD display system operations are halted and only the static drive system for the indicator
continues to operate, providing the minimum required consumption current for the static drive.
The internal modes are in the following states during standby mode.
a. The LCD power supply circuits are halted. The oscillator circuit continues to operate.
b. The duty drive system liquid crystal drive circuits are halted and the segment and common driver outputs
a VSS level. The static drive system does not operate.
When a reset command is performed while in standby mode, the system enters sleep mode.
