MSM6544
42-DOT LCD DRIVER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MSM6544 is a 42-segment duplex driver which can drive the LCD panel up to a maximum
of 84 segments.
Since the package is a 56-pin small QFP, an LCD module can be compactly configured. An
internal RC oscillator is provided for ease of use.
FEATURES
• Power supply voltage (VDD) : 3 to 6V
• LCD driving voltage : 3 to V
• Operating temperature : –40 to +85°C
• Applicable LCD panel : 1/2 duty, 84 segments (Max)
• Data transmitting clock : 4 MHz (Max)
• Package:
56-pin plastic QFP (QFP56-P-910-0.65-2K) (Product name : MSM6544GS-2K)

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
• OSC-IN, OSC-C, OSC-R
An RC oscillator circuit for 3-pin type can be configured. Since the OSC-IN pin is in a high
input impedance state, it is susceptible to noise.
• DATA-IN
This is the display data input. When this pin is at "H" level, the segments are turned on and
when at "L" level, the segments are turned off.
• CLOCK
Pin for clocking display data in. Display data is shifted on the rising edge of the clock pulse.
• LOAD
This is the signal for latching the shift register data. When this pin is set at a "H" level, the shift
register data is transmitted to LATCH <A> or LATCH <B>.
• SEG1 - SEG42
These pins drive the LCD segments.
• COM-A, COM-B
These pins drive the LCD commons. COM-A and COM-B correspond to LATCH <A> output
and LATCH <B>output, respectively.
•V
DD2
This is connected to the V

LCM
pin internally.
DD1
This is the center bias pin of the LCD. Supply the middle voltage between VDD and V
•V
LCL
This is the power supply pin of the LCD driver. The contrast of the LCD can be adjusted by
changing the voltage at this pin, but do not set the voltage less than the GND level.
• BLANK
This pin is used to test the all segment outputs (SEG1 to SEG42). All segment outputs are
turned off when this pin is set to "H" level. The display returns to the condition before the pin
was set to "H" level.
•V

These are power supply voltage and ground pins.
