GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OM4085 is a peripheral device which interfaces to
almost any Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) having low
multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static
or multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and
up to 24 segments and can easily be cascaded for larger
LCD applications. The OM4085 is compatible with most
microprocessors/microcontrollers and communicates via a
two-line bidirectional I

addressing, by hardware subaddressing and by display
memory switching (static and duplex drive modes).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The OM4085 is a versatile peripheral device designed to
interface any microprocessor to a wide variety of LCDs.
It can directly drive any static or multiplexed LCD
containing up to 4 backplanes and up to 24 segments.
The display configurations possible with the OM4085
depend on the number of active backplane outputs
required; a selection of display configurations is given in
Table 1.

All of the display configurations given in Table 1 can be
implemented in the typical system shown in Fig.3.
The host microprocessor/microcontroller maintains the
two-line I
OM4085. The internal oscillator is selected by tying OSC
(pin 6) to VSS. The appropriate biasing voltages for the
multiplexed LCD waveforms are generated internally.
The only other connections required to complete the
system are to the power supplies (VDD, VSSand V
to the LCD panel chosen for the application.

Power-on reset
At power-on the OM4085 resets to a defined starting
condition as follows:
1. All backplane outputs are set to V
2. All segment outputs are set to V
3. The drive mode ‘1 : 4 multiplex with1⁄3bias’ is selected
4. Blinking is switched off
5. Input and output bank selectors are reset (as defined
in Table 5)
6. The I2C-bus interface is initialized
7. The data pointer and the subaddress counter are
cleared.

Data transfers on the I
C-bus should be avoided for 1 ms
following power-on to allow completion of the reset action.

LCD voltage selector
The LCD voltage selector coordinates the multiplexing of
the LCD according to the selected LCD drive
configuration. The operation of the voltage selector is
controlled by MODE SET commands from the command
decoder. The biasing configurations that apply to the
preferred modes of operation, together with the biasing

characteristics as functions of V

resulting discrimination ratios (D), are given in Table 2.
A practical value of V
is determined by equating V
op
with a defined LCD threshold voltage (Vth), typically when
the LCD exhibits approximately 10% contrast. In the static
drive mode a suitable choice is V
ratios of 1 : 3 and 1 : 4 with
≥ 3Vth. Multiplex drive

LCD drive mode waveforms
The static LCD drive mode is used when a single backplane is provided in the LCD. Backplane and segment drive
waveforms for this mode are shown in Fig.4.
When two backplanes are provided in the LCD the 1 : 2 multiplex drive mode applies. The OM4085 allows use of
1
⁄2or1⁄3bias in this mode as shown in Figs 5 and 6.
The backplane and segment drive waveforms for the 1 : 3 multiplex drive mode (three LCD backplanes) and for the 1 : 4
multiplex drive mode (four LCD backplanes) are shown in Figs 7 and 8 respectively.
