General Description
The NT7704 is a 240-bit output segment/common driver LSI
suitable for driving large scale dot matrix LCD panels used
by PDA's, personal computers and work stations for
example. Through the use of COG technology, it is ideal for
substantially decreasing the size of the frame section of the
LCD module. The NT7704 is good as both a segment driver
and as a common driver, and a low power consuming, high-

Functional Description
1. Block description
1.1 Active Control
In segment mode, it controls the selection or deselection of
the chip. Following a LP signal input, and after the select
signal is input, a se lect signal is generated internally unti l 240
bits of data have been read in. Once data input has been
completed, a select signal for cascade connection is output,
and the chip is deselected.
In common mode, it controls the input/output data of the bidirectional pins.
1.2. SP Conversion & Data Control
In segment mode, it keeps input data which are 2 clocks of
XCK at 4-bit parallel mode into latch circuit, or keeps input
data which are 1 clock of XCK at 8-bit parallel mode into
latch circuit, after that they are put on t he i ntern al data bus 8
bits at a time.
1.3. Data Latch Control
In segment mode, it selec ts the state of the d ata latch, w hich
reads in the data bus signa ls. The sh ift dire ction i s contro lled
by the control logic and for every 16 bits of data read in, the
selection signal shifts one bit, based on the state of the
control circuit.
1.4. Data Latch
In segment mode, it latches the data on the data bus. The
latched state of each LCD driver output pin is controlled by
the control logic and the data latch control. 240 bits of data
are read in 20 sets of 8 bits.
NT7704
1.5. Line Latch/Shift Register
In segment mode, it ensures all 240 bits which have been
read into the data latch, are simult aneously latched on to the
falling edge of the LP signal, and output to the level shift
block.
In common mode, it shifts data from the data input pin on to
the falling edge of the LP signal.
1.6. Level Shifter
It ensures the logic voltage signal is level-shifted to the LCD
driver voltage level, and output to the driver block.
1.7. 4-Level Driver
It drives the LCD driver output pins from the line latch/shift
register data, selecting one of 4 levels (V
based on the S/C, FR and
1.8. Control Logic
Controls the operation of each block. In segment mode,
when an LP signal has been input, all blocks are reset and
the control logic waits f or the se lectio n sign al outpu t fro m the
active control block. Once the selection signal has been
output, operation of th e dat a l atc h and data transmission are
controlled, 240 bits of data are read in, and the chip is
deselected.
In common mode, it controls the direction of data shift.
