S6B0718 104 SEG / 81 COM DRIVER & CONTROLLER FOR STN LCD

INTRODUCTION

The S6B0718 is a driver & controller LSI for graphic dot-matrix liquid crystal display systems. It contains 81 common
and 104 segment driver circuits. This chip is connected directly to a microprocessor, accepts serial or 8-bit parallel
display data and stores in an on-chip display data RAM of 89 x 104 bits. It provides a highly flexible display section
due to 1-to-1 correspondence between on-chip display data RAM bits and LCD panel pixels. And it performs display
data RAM read/write operation with no externally operating clock to minimize power consumption. In addition,
because it contains power supply circuits necessary to drive liquid crystal, it is possible to make a display system
with the fewest components.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACE

Chip Select Input

There are CS1B and CS2 pins for chip selection. The S6B0718 can interface with an MPU only when CS1B is "L"
and CS2 is "H". When these pins are set to any other combination, RS, E_RD, and RW_WR inputs are disabled and
DB0 to DB7 are to be high impedance. And, in case of serial interface, the internal shift register and the counter are
reset.

Parallel / Serial Interface

S6B0718 has three types of interface with an MPU, which are one serial and two parallel interface. This parallel or
serial interface is determined by PS pin as shown in table 8

PS Type CS1B CS2 C68 Interface mode

H Parallel CS1B CS2

L Serial CS1B CS2

Parallel Interface (PS = "H")

The 8-bit bi-directional data bus is used in parallel interface and the type of MPU is selected by C68 as shown in
Table 9. The type of data transfer is determined by signals at RS, E_RD and RW_WR as shown in table 10.

Serial Interface (PS = "L")

When the S6B0718 is active, serial data (DB7) and serial clock (DB6) inputs are enabled. And not active, the internal
8-bit shift register and the 3-bit counter are reset. Serial data can be read on the rising edge of serial clock going into
DB6 and processed as 8-bit parallel data on the eighth serial clock. Serial data input is display data when RS is high
and control data when RS is low. Since the clock signal (DB6) is easy to be affected by the external noise caused by
the line length, the operation check on the actual machine is recommended.

Busy Flag

The Busy Flag indicates whether the S6B0718 is operating or not. When DB7 is "H" in read status operation, this
device is in busy status and will accept only read status instruction. If the cycle time is correct, the microprocessor
needs not to check this flag before each instruction, which improves the MPU performance.

Data Transfer

The S6B0718 uses bus holder and internal data bus for Data Transfer with the MPU. When writing data from the
MPU to on-chip RAM, data is automatically transferred from the bus holder to the RAM as shown in figure 4. And
when reading data from on-chip RAM to the MPU, the data for the initial read cycle is stored in the bus holder
(dummy read) and the MPU reads this stored data from bus holder for the next data read cycle as shown in figure 5.
This means that a dummy read cycle must be inserted between each pair of address sets when a sequence of
address sets is executed. Therefore, the data of the specified address cannot be output with the read display data
instruction right after the address sets, but can be output at the second read of data.

DISPLAY DATA RAM (DDRAM)

The Display Data RAM stores pixel data for the LCD. It is 89-row by 104-column addressable array. Each pixel can
be selected when the page and column addresses are specified. The 89 rows are divided into 11 pages of 8 lines
and the 12th page with a single line (DB0 only). Data is read from or written to the 8 lines of each page directly
through DB0 to DB7. The display data of DB0 to DB7 from the microprocessor correspond to the LCD common lines
as shown in figure 6. The microprocessor can read from and write to RAM through the I/O buffer. Since the LCD
controller operates independently, data can be written into RAM at the same time as data is being displayed without
causing the LCD flicker.

Page Address Circuit

This circuit is for providing a Page Address to Display Data RAM shown in figure 8. It incorporates 4-bit Page
Address register changed by only the "Set Page" instruction. Page Address 11 (DB3, DB1 and DB0 are "H", DB2 is
"L") is a special RAM area for the icons and display data DB0 is only valid.

Line Address Circuit

This circuit assigns DDRAM a Line Address corresponding to the first line (COM0) of the display. Therefore, by
setting line address repeatedly, it is possible to realize the screen scrolling and page switching without changing the
contents of on-chip RAM as shown in figure 8 & figure 9. It incorporates 7-bit Line Address register changed by only
the initial display line instruction and 7-bit counter circuit. At the beginning of each LCD frame, the contents of
register are copied to the line counter which is increased by CL signal and generates the Line Address for
transferring the 104-bit RAM data to the display data latch circuit. However, display data of icons are not scrolled
because the MPU can not access Line Address of icons.

15

104 SEG / 81 COM DRIVER & CONTROLLER FOR STN LCD S6B0718

Column Address Circuit

Column address circuit has a 7-bit preset counter that provides column address to the Display Data RAM as shown
in figure 8. When set Column Address MSB / LSB instruction is issued, 7-bit [Y6:Y0] is updated. And, since this
address is increased by 1 each a read or write data instruction, microprocessor can access the display data
continuously. However, the counter is not incremented and locked if a non-existing address above 67H. It is
unlocked if a Column Address is set again by set Column Address MSB / LSB instruction. And the Column Address
counter is independent of page address register.

ADC Select instruction makes it possible to invert the relationship between the column address and the segment
outputs. It is necessary to rewrite the display data on built-in RAM after issuing ADC Select instruction. Refer to the
following figure 7.
