FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
SYSTEM INTERFACE
S6A0094 has two kinds of interface type with MPU: bus mode, serial mode. Serial or bus mode is selected by PS
pin. In bus mode, 4-bit bus or 8-bit bus is selected by IF pin, and 68 series MPU or 80 series MPU is selected by
MI pin.

Interface with MPU in Parallel Mode (PS = "High")
During writing operation, two 8-bit registers, data register (DR) and instruction register (IR), are used. The data
register (DR) is used as temporary data storage place for being written into DDRAM / CGRAM / ICONRAM and
one of these RAM is selected by RAM address setting instruction. The Instruction register (IR) is used only to
store instruction code transferred from MPU. To select DR or IR register, RS input pin is used.
During reading operation, 8-bit register, output data register (OR) is used. The output data register (OR) is used
as temporary data storage place for being read from DDRAM / CGRAM / ICONRAM and one of these RAM is
selected by RAM address setting instruction. After RAM address setting, first reading is a dummy cycle in 8-bit
bus mode (figure 3, 4). The valid data comes from second reading. In 4-bit bus mode, after RAM address setting,
first and second reading are dummy cycles (figure 5, 6). The valid data comes from third reading. The dummy
read make the address counter (AC) increased by 1. So it is recommended to set address again before writing.
The instruction read cycle is not supported and it is regarded as a no operation cycle.
In 4-bit bus mode, it is needed to transfer 4-bit data (through DB7-DB4) by two times. The high order bits (for 8-bit
mode DB7-DB4) are written before the low order bits (for 8-bit mode DB3-DB0) in write and low order bits (for 8-bit
mode DB3-DB0) are read before the high order bits (for 8-bit mode DB7-DB4) in read transaction. The DB0-DB3
pins are floated in this 4-bit bus mode. After RESETB resets, S6A0094 considers first 4-bit data from MPU as the
high order bits.

Interface with MPU in Serial Mode (PS = "Low")
When PS input pin is "Low", clock synchronized serial interface mode is selected. At this time, four ports, SCL
(DB6, synchronizing transfer clock), SI (DB7, serial input data), RS (register selection input) and CSB (chip
selection input) are used.
By setting CSB to "Low", S6A0094 can receive SCL input. If CSB is set to "High", S6A0094 resets the internal 8bit shift register and 3-bit counter. Serial data is input in the order of "D7, D6, D5, D4, D3, D2, D1, D0" from the
serial data input pin (SI = DB7) at the rising edge of serial clock (SCL = DB6).
At the rising edge of the 8th serial clock, the serial data (D7-D0) is converted into 8 bit bus mode data. The RS
input of the DR/IR selection is latched at the rising edge of the 8th serial clock (SCL).
In serial mode, the read is not possible.

ADDRESS COUNTER (AC)
Address Counter (AC) in S6A0094 stores DDRAM / CGRAM / ICONRAM address. After writing into or reading
from DDRAM / CGRAM / ICONRAM, AC is automatically increased by 1. The address counter is only one and
stores the address among DDRAM / CGRAM / ICONRAM.
DISPLAY DATA RAM (DDRAM)
DDRAM stores display data of maximum 80 x 8 bits (Max. 80 characters). DDRAM address is set in the address
counter (AC) as a hexadecimal number.
CGROM has one main ROM and four option ROM. The main CGROM has 160 characters and the option
CGROMs have 96 characters each. The total CGROM has 5 x 8-dot 544 characters. The R1, R0 bits select an
option CGROM between 4 option CGROM. If one of 4 CGROM is selected, the other CGROM font can not be
used. The CG bit of the instruction table selects the 6 characters (00h ∼ 05h) of CGROM or CGRAM.
