BACKLIGHT
Using the LED backlight requires a current source or external current-limiting resistor. Forward
voltage for yellow/green backlight is 3.9~4.2V and for white LED backlight is 3.0~3.6V. Please take
care of derating for T
Note: Do never connect backlight directly to 5V; this may destroy backlight immediately !

Description
CHARACTER SET
A full character set is built-in already.
Additionally to that 8 more characters can
be defined individually.
CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT
Pin 3 requires driving voltage for contrast
VEE. Adjustment can be done by external
potentiometer for example. The capacitor
is for a better startup behaviour.
Note: In contrast to many other
dotmatrix lcd modules input is
supplied with VDD level here !
Addressing:
1st. line $00..$13
2nd. line $20..$33
3rd. line $40..$53
4th. line $60..$73
All versions do have a built-in temperature
compensation; so there's no more need
for contrast adjustment during operation
anymore.
CREATING YOUR OWN CHARACTERS
All these character display modules got the feature to create 8 own characters (ASCII Codes 0..7) in
addition to the 240 ROM fixed codes.
1.) The command "CG RAM Address Set"
defines the ASCII code (Bit 3,4,5) and the
dot line (Bit 0,1,2) of the new character.
Example demonstrates creating ASCII
code $00.
2.) Doing 8 times the write command "Data
Write" defines line by line the new
character. 8th. byte stands for the cursor
line.
3.) The newly defined character can be used as a "normal" ASCII code (0..7); use with "DD RAM
Address Set" and "Data Write".

DRIVING WITH 5V-SYSTEMS
The supply voltage of the display is necessarily 3.3V.
If a 5V-system is used, the level have to be adapted.
For example you can use a bidirectional levelshifter
(e.g. PS 74LVC4245A), like shown in the opposite
figure.
COMPATIBILITY WITH EA DIP204-4
The displays of EA DIP203 and EA DIP204 series are
electrically and mechanically identical to each other
running with 3.3V supply mode.
Merely a 5V supply is not acceptable with the new
EA DIP203 series.

Note:
LC-Displays are generally not suited to wave or reflow
soldering. Temperatures of over 80°C can cause lasting
demage.
all dimensions are in mm
SERIAL MODE
Factory setting for interface is parallel with 4 bit or 8 bit data bus. Alternatively the module can be used
with serial data stream. For that, solder link SPI has to be closed. Specification for serial
operation mode is described in user manual for SSD1803:
