General Description
The NT7502 is a single-chip LCD driver for dot-matrix liquid
crystal displays which is directly connectable to a
microcomputer bus. It accepts 8-bit serial or parallel display
data directly sent from a microcomputer and stores it in an
on-chip display RAM. It generates a LCD drive signal
independent of the microprocessor clock.
The set of the on-chip display RAM of 65 X 132 bits and a
one-to-one correspondence between LCD panel pixel dots
and on-chip RAM bits permit implementation of displays with
a high degree of freedom.
The NT7502 contains 65 common output circuits and 132
segment output circuits, so that a single chip of NT7502 can
make 65 X 132, 55 X 132, 49 X 132 and 33 X 132 dot
displays with pad option (DUTY1, DUTY0).
No external operation clock is required for RAM read/write
operations. Accordingly, this driver can be operated with a
minimum current consumption and its onboard
low-current-consumption liquid crystal power supply can
implement a high-performance handy display system with
minimum current consumption and the smallest LSI
configuration.

Interface type selection
The NT7502 can transfer data via 8-bit bi-directional data bus (D7 to D0) or via serial data input (SI). When high or lo w is
selected for the parity of P/S pad, either 8-bit parallel data input or serial data input can be selected as shown in Table 1. When
serial data input is selected, the RAM data cannot be read out.

Serial Interface (P/S is low)
When the serial interface has been selected (P/S = “L”), then when the chip is in active state (
serial data input (SI) and the serial clock input (SCL) can be received. The serial data is read from the serial data input pin in the
rising edge of the serial clocks D7, D6 through D0, in this order. This data is converted to 8 bits of parallel data in the rising edge
of eighth serial clock for processing.
The A0 input is used to determine whether or the serial data input is display data, and when A0 = “L” then the data is command
data. The A0 input is read and used for detection every 8th rising edge of the serial clock after the chip becomes active.

Chip Select Inputs
The NT7502 has two chip select pads.
When these pads are set to any other combination, D0 to D7 are high impedance and A0, E and
1CS and CS2 can interface to a microprocessor when1CS is low and CS2 is high.
WR/ inputs are disabled.
When serial input interface is selected. the shift register and counter are reset.
Access to Display Data RAM and Internal Registers
The NT7502 can perform a series of pipeline processing between LSI’s using the bus holder of the internal data bus in order to
match the operating frequency of display RAM and internal registers with the microprocessor. For example, the microprocessor
reads data from display RAM in the first read (dummy) cycle, stores it in the bus holder, and outputs it onto system bus in the
next data read cycle.
Also, the microprocessor temporarily stores display data in the bus holder, and stores it in display RAM until the next data write
cycle starts.
When viewed from the microprocessor, the NT7502 access speed greatly depends on the cycle time rather than access time to
the display RAM (t
ACC). This view shows the data transfer speed to / from the microprocessor can increase. If the cycle time is
inappropriate, the microprocessor can insert the NOP instruction that is equivalent to the wait cycle setup. However, there is a
restriction in the display RAM read sequence. When an address is set, the specified address data is NOT output at the
immediately following read instruction. The address data is output during the second data read. A single dummy read must be
inserted after address setup and after the write cycle (refer to Figure2).

When the busy flag is “1”, it indicates that the NT7502 chip is running internal processes, and at this tim e no command asi de

Display Data RAM
Display Data RAM
The display data RAM is RAM that stores the dot data for the display. It has a 65 (8 page * 8 bit+1)*132 bit structure. It is
possible to access the desired bit by specifying the page address and the column ad dress. Because, as is sho wn in Figure3,
the D7 to D0 display data from the MPU corresponds to the liquid crystal display common direction, there are few constraints at
the time of display common direction, and there are few constraints at the time of displa y data transfer when multiple NT7502
chips are used, thus display structures with a high degree of freedom can be created easily .
Moreover, reading from and writing to the display RAM from the MPU side is performed through the I/O buffer, which is an
independent operation from signal reading for the liquid crystal driver. Consequently, even if the display data RAM is accessed
asynchronously during liquid crystal display, it will not cause adverse effects on the displ ay (such as flickering).

NT7502
The Page Address Circuit
As shown in Figure 4, page address of the display data RAM is specified through the Page Address Set Command. The page
address must be specified again when changing pages to perform access.
Page address8 (D3, D2, D1, D0 = 1, 0, 0, 0,) is the page for the RAM region used; only display data D0 is used.
The Column Address
As shown in Figure 4, the display data RAM column address is specified by the Column Address Set command. The specified
column address is incremented (+1) with each display data read / write command. This allows the MPU display data to be
accessed continuously. Moreover, the incrimination of column addresses stops with 83H, because the column address is
independent of the page address. Thus, when moving, for exam ple, from page0 column 83H to page 1 column 00H, it is
necessary to respecify both the page address and the column address.
Furthermore, as is shown in Table 4, the ADC command (segment driver direction select command) can be used to reverse the
relationship between the display data RAM column address and the segment output. Because of this, the constraints on the IC
layout can be minimized when the LCD module is assembled.
Table. 4
SEG Output SEG0 SEG131
ADC “0” 0 (H)$ Column Address $83 (H)
(ADC) “1” 83 (H)%Column Address %0 (H)
The Line Address Circuit
The line address circuit, as shown in Table 4, specifies the line address relating to the COM output when the conten ts of the
display data RAM are displayed. Using the display start line address set command, what is normally the top line of the display
can be specified. This is the COM0 output when the common output mode is normal, and the COM63 output for NT7502, when
the common output mode is reversed. The display area is a 65-line area for the NT7502 from the display start line address.
If the line addresses are changed dynamically using the display start line address set command, screen scrolling, page
swapping, etc. can be performed.
12
NT7502
Relationship between display data RAM and address. (if initial display line is 1DH)
The display data latch circuit is a latch that temporarily stores the display data output to the liquid crystal driver circuit from the
display data RAM.
Because the display normal/reverse status, display ON/OFF status, and display all points ON/OFF commands control only the
data within the latch, they do not change the data within the display data RAM itself.
The Oscillator Circuit
This is a CR-type oscillator that produces the display clock. The oscillator circuit is only enabled when M/S = “H” and CLS = “H”.
When CLS = “L” the oscillation stops, and the display clock is input through the CL terminal.
Display Timing Generator Circuit
The display timing generator circuit generates the timing signal to the line address circuit and the display data latch circuit using
the display clock. The display data is latched into the display data latch circuit synchronized with the display clock, and is output
to the data driver output terminal. Reading to the display data liquid crystal driver circuits is completely independent of access to
the display data RAM by the MPU. Consequently, even if the display data RAM is accessed as ynchronously during liquid
crystal display, there is absolutely no adverse effect (such as flickering) on the display.
Moreover, the display timing generator circuit generates the common timing and the liquid crystal alternating current signal (FR)
from the display clock. It generates a drive waveform using a 2 frame alternating current drive method, as is shown in Figure 5,
for the liquid crystal drive circuit.

The power supply circuits are low-power consumption power supply circuits that generate the voltage le vels required for the

enabled in master operation.
The power supply circuits can turn the Booster circuits, the voltage regulator circuits, and the vo ltage follower circuits ON or
