MM5483 Liquid Crystal Display Driver
May 2002
General Description
The MM5483 is a monolithic integrated circuit utilizing
CMOS metal-gate low-threshold enhancement mode devices. It is available in a 40-pin molded package. The chip
can drive up to 31 segments of LCD and can be cascaded to
increase this number. This chip is capable of driving a 4
digit 7-segment display with minimal interface between the
display and the data source.
The MM5483 stores the display data in latches after it is
latched in, and holds the data until another load pulse is
received.

Functional Description
A block diagram for the MM5483 is shown in Figure 1 and a
package pinout is shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 shows a
possible 3-wire connection system with a typical signal format for Figure 3. Shown in Figure 4, the load input is an
asynchronous input and lets data through from the shift
register to the output buffers any time it is high. The load
input can be connected to V

SEGMENT
Figure 5. In the 2-wire control mode, 31 bits (or less depending on the number of segments used) of data are clocked
into the MM5483 in a short time frame (with less than 0.1
second there probably will be no noticeable flicker) with no
more clocks until new information is to be displayed. If data
was slowly clocked in, it can be seen to “walk” across the
display in the 2-wire mode. An AC timing diagram can be
for 2-wire control as shown in
DD
seen in Figure 6. It should be noted that data out is not a
TTL-compatible output.
