BLOCK DESCRIPTION
System Bus
MPU interface
1. Selecting an interface type
The SED1520 series transfers data via 8-bit bidirectional data buses (D0 to D7). As its Reset pin has the
MPU interface select function, the 80-series MPU or
the 68-series MPU can directly be connected to the
MPU bus by the selection of high or low RES signal
Table 1

Active high80-series↑RDWR↑↑
Data transfer
The SED1520 and SED1521 drivers use the A0, E (or
RD) and R/W (or WR) signals to transfer data between
the system MPU and internal registers. The combinations used are given in the table blow.
In order to match the timing requirements of the MPU
with those of the display data RAM and control registers
all data is latched into and out of the driver. This
introduces a one cycle delay between a read request for
data and the data arriving. For example when the MPU
level after reset (see Table 1).
When the CS signal is high, the SED1520 series is
disconnected from the MPU bus and set to stand by.
However, the reset signal is entered regardless of the
internal setup status.
executes a read cycle to access display RAM the current
contents of the latch are placed on the system data bus
while the desired contents of the display RAM are moved
into the latch.
This means that a dummy read cycle has to be executed
at the start of every series of reads. See Figure 1.
No dummy cycle is required at the start of a series of
writes as data is transferred automatically from the input
latch to its destination.

Busy flag
When the Busy flag is logical 1, the SED1520 series is
executing its internal operations. Any command other
than Status Read is rejected during this time. The Busy
flag is output at pin D7 by the Status Read command. If
an appropriate cycle time (tcyc) is given, this flag needs
not be checked at the beginning of each command and,
therefore, the MPU processing capacity can greatly be
enhanced.
Display Start Line and Line Count
Registers
The contents of this register form a pointer to a line of
data in display data RAM corresponding to the first line
of the display (COM0), and are set by the Display Start
Line command. See section 3.
The contents of the display start line register are copied
into the line count register at the start of every frame, that
is on each edge of FR. The line count register is
incremented by the CL clock once for every display line,
thus generating a pointer to the current line of data, in
display data RAM, being transferred to the segment
driver circuits.
Column Address Counter
The column address counter is a 7-bit presettable counter
that supplies the column address for MPU access to the
display data RAM. See Figure 2. The counter is
incremented by one every time the driver receives a Read
or Write Display Data command. Addresses above 50H
are invalid, and the counter will not increment past this
value. The contents of the column address counter are set
with the Set Column Address command.
Page Register
The page resiter is a 2-bit register that supplies the page
address for MPU access to the display data RAM. See
Figure 2. The contents of the page register are set by the
Set Page Register command.
Display Data RAM
The display data RAM stores the LCD display data, on a
1-bit per pixel basis. The relation-ship between display
data, display address and the display is shown in Figure
2.

selected by the Duty Select command. If the 1/32 duty is
selected for the SED1520 and 1/16 duty is selected for the
SED1522, the 1/32 and 1/16 duties are provided by two
chips consisting of the master and slave chips in the

Display Timing Generator
This circuit generates the internal display timing signal
using the basic clock, CL, and the frame signals, FR.
FR is used to generate the dual frame AC-drive waveform (type B drive) and to lock the line counter and
common timing generator to the system frame rate.
CL is used to lock the line counter to the system line scan
rate. If a system uses both SED1520s or SED1522 and
SED1521s they must have the same CL frequency rating.

*
A low power-consumption CR oscillator for adjusting
the oscillation frequency using Rf oscillation resistor
only. This circuit generates a display timing signal.
Some of SED1520 and SED1522 series models have a
built-in oscillator and others use an external clock. This
difference must be checked before use.
Connect the Rf oscillation resistor as follows. To suppress the built-in oscillator circuit and drive the MPU
using an external clock, enter the clock having the same

Command Description
Table 3 is the command table. The SED1520 series identifies a data bus using a combination of A0 and R/W (RD or WR)
signals. As the MPU translates a command in the internal timing only (independent from the external clock), its speed
is very high. The busy check is usually not required.

by the MPU. Any bit of the display data RAM can be accessed when its page address and column address are specified.
The display status is not changed even when the page address is changed.

Set Column Address
This command specifies a column address of the display data RAM. When the display data RAM is accessed by the MPU
continuously, the column address is incremented by 1 each time it is accessed from the set address. Therefore, the MPU
can access to data continuously. The column address stops to be incremented at address 80, and the page address is not
changed continuously.

Reading the command I/O register (A0=0) yields system status information.
• The busy bit indicates whether the driver will accept a command or not.
Busy=1: The driver is currently executing a command or is resetting. No new command will be accepted.
Busy=0: The driver will accept a new command.
• The ADC bit indicates the way column addresses are assigned to segment drivers.
ADC=1: Normal. Column address n → segment driver n.
ADC=0: Inverted. Column address 79-u → segment driver u.
• The ON/OFF bit indicates the current status of the display.
It is the inverse of the polarity of the display ON/OFF command.
ON/OFF=1: Display OFF
ON/OFF=0: Display ON
• The RESET bit indicates whether the driver is executing a hardware or software reset or if it is in normal operating mode.
RESET=1: Currently executing reset command.

This command defeats column address register auto-increment after data reads. The current conetents of the column
address register are saved. This mode remains active until an End command is received.
• Operation sequence during cursor display
When the End command is entered, the column address is returned to the one used during input of Read-Modify-Write
command. This function can reduce the load of MPU when data change is repeated at a specific display area (such as cursor
blinking).
* Any command other than Data Read or Write can be used in the Read-Modify-Write mode. However, the Column
Address Set command cannot be used.

This command clears
• the display start line register.
• and set page address register to 3 page.
It does not affect the contents of the display data RAM.
When the power supply is turned on, a Reset signal is entered in the RES pin. The Reset command cannot be used instead
of this Reset signal.
Power Save (Combination command)
The Power Save mode is selected if the static drive is turned ON when the display is OFF. The current consumption can
be reduced to almost the static current level. In the Power Save mode:
R/W
(a) The LCD drive is stopped, and the segment and common driver outputs are set to the V
DD level.
(b) The external oscillation clock input is inhibited, and the OSC2 is set to the floating mode.
(c) The display and operation modes are kept.
The Power Save mode is released when the display is turned ON or when the static drive is turned OFF. If the LCD drive
voltage is supplied from an external resistance divider circuit, the current passing through this resistor must be cut by the
Power Save signal.

If the LCD drive power is generated by resistance division, the resistance and capacitance are determined by the LCD panel
size. After the panel size has been determined, reduce the resistance to the level where the display quality is not affected
and reduce the power consumption using the divider resistor.
