Philips Semiconductors Product specification
LCD controller/driver PCF2113x
1 FEATURES
• Single-chip LCD controller/driver
• 2-line display of up to 12 characters + 120 icons,
or 1-line display of up to 24 characters + 120 icons
• 5 × 7 character format plus cursor; 5 × 8 for kana
(Japanese syllabary) and user defined symbols
• Icon mode: reduced current consumption while
displaying icons only
(1)
• Icon blink function
• On-chip:
– generation of LCD supply voltage, programmable by
instruction (external supply also possible)
– temperature compensation of on-chip generated
V
LCD
: −8to−12 mV/K at 5.0 V
(programmable by instruction)
– generation of intermediate LCD bias voltages
– oscillator requires no external components
(external clock also possible)
• Display data RAM: 80 characters
• Character generator ROM: 240, 5 × 8 characters
• Character generator RAM: 16, 5 × 8 characters;
3 characters used to drive 120 icons, 6 characters used
if icon-blink feature is used in application
• 4 or 8-bit parallel bus and 2-wire I2C-bus interface
• CMOS compatible
• 18 row, 60 column outputs
(1) Icon mode is used to save current. When only icons
are displayed, a much lower operating voltage V
LCD
can be used and the switching frequency of the LCD
outputs is reduced. In most applications it is possible
to use VDD as V
LCD
. Never use the voltage generator
in icon mode.
• MUX rates 1 : 18 (for normal operation) and 1 : 2
(for icon-only mode)
• Uses common 11 code instruction set (extended)
• Logic supply voltage range, V
DD
− VSS= 1.8 to 4.0 V
(up to 5.5 V if external V
LCD
is used); chip may be driven
with two battery cells
• Display supply voltage range,
V
LCD
− VSS= 2.2 to 6.5 V
• Very low current consumption (20 to 200 µA):
– icon mode: <25 µA
– power-down mode: <2.5 µA.
2 APPLICATIONS
• Telecom equipment
• Portable instruments
• Point-of-sale terminals.
3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PCF2113x is a low power CMOS LCD controller and
driver, designed to drive a dot matrix LCD display of 2 line
by 12 and 1 line by 24 characters with 5 × 8 dot format.
All necessary functions for the display are provided in a
single chip, including on-chip generation of LCD bias
voltages, resulting in a minimum of external components
and lower system current consumption. The PCF2113x
interfaces to most microcontrollers via a 4 or 8-bit bus or
via the 2-wire I
2
C-bus. The chip contains a character
generator and displays alphanumeric and kana
(Japanese) characters. Three character sets (A, D and E)
are currently available (see Figs 7, 8 and 9). Various other
character sets can be manufactured on request.
