MM5483 Liquid Crystal Display Driver
Y
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(/2digit 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
package pinout is shown in
Figure 2.Figure 3
sible 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
5
. In the 2-wire control mode, 31 bits (or less depending on
for 2-wire control as shown in
DD
Figure 1
and a
shows a pos-
Figure
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 seen
in
Figure 6
. It should be noted that data out is not a TTL-
compatible output.
