FEATURES
SA8807A
96 SEGMENT LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLA Y DRIVER
SERIAL (SPI) INTERFACE
• Drives up to 96 segments
• Serial (SPI) interface with Read/Write
capability
• Operates over a wide temperature
range
DESCRIPTION
The SAMES SA8807A Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) Driver is capable of driving
up to 96 LCD segments and is designed for
displays having 3 or 4 track multiplexed
backplanes.
The SA8807A includes an on-chip
oscillator. The data exchange is carried
out via the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
This LCD driver is ideal for any microcontroller based system requiring a liquid
crystal display of up to 12 digits.
The SA8807A integrated circuit is available
in both 40 pin dual-in-line plastic (DIP-40),
as well as 44 pin plastic leaded chip carrier
(PLCC-44) package types.
• External contrast control
• Low power CMOS
