Dot Matrix LCD Controller/Driver
Description
The ST7066 dot-matrix liquid crystal display
controller and driver LSI displays alphanumeric,
Japanese kana characters, and symbols. It can be
configured to drive a dot-m atrix liquid crystal display
under the control of a 4- or 8-bit microprocessor.
Since all the functions such as display RAM,
character generator, and liquid crystal driver, required
for driving a dot-matrix liquid crystal display are
internally provided on one chip, a minimal system can
be interfaced with this controller/driver.
The ST7066 has pin function compatibility with the
HD44780, KS0066U and SED1278 that allows the
user to easily replace it with an ST7066. The ST7066
character generator ROM is extended to generate
!" Internal oscillator with external resistors
!" Low power consumption
!" QFP80 and Bare Chip available
208 5 x 8 dot character fonts and 32 5 x 10 dot
character fonts for a total of 240 different character
fonts. The low power supply (2.7V to 5.5V) of the
ST7066 is suitable for any portable battery-driven
product requiring low power dissipation.
The ST7066 LCD driver consists of 16 common
signal drivers and 40 segment signal drivers which
can extend display size by cascading segment driver
ST7065 or ST7063. The m aximum display size can
be either 80 characters in 1-line display or 40
characters in 2-line display. A single ST7066 can
display up to one 8-character line or two 8-character
lines.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
System Interface
This chip has all two kinds of interface ty pe with MPU : 4 -bit bus and 8 -bit bus. 4-bit bus or 8-bi t bus is selected by DL
bit in the instruction register.
During read or write operation, two 8-bit registers are used. One is data register (DR), the other is instruction
register(IR).
The data register(DR) is used as temporary data storage place for being written into or read from DDRAM/CGRAM,
target RAM is selected by RA M address setti ng instruction. Each internal operation, reading from or writing into
RAM, is done automatically. So to speak, after MPU reads DR data, the data in the next DDRAM/CGRAM address is
transferred into DR automatically. Also after MPU writes data to DR, the data in DR is transferred into
DDRAM/CGRAM automatically.
The Instruction register(IR) is used only to store instruction code transferred from MPU. MPU cannot use it to read
instruction data.
To select register, use RS input pin in 4-bit/8-bit bus mode.
Table 1. Various kinds of operations according to RS and R/W bits.
RS RW Operation
L L Instruction Write operation (MPU writes Instruction code
L H Read Busy Flag(DB7) and address counter (DB0 ~ DB6)
H L Data Write operation (MPU wr ites data into DR)
H H Data Read operation (MPU reads data from DR)
Busy Flag ( B F)
When BF = "High”, it indicates that the internal operation is being processed. So du ring this time the next instruction
cannot be accepted. BF can be read, when RS = Low and R/W = High (Read Instruction Operation), through DB7
port. Before executing the next instruction, be sure that BF is not High.
Address Counter (AC)
Address Counter(AC) stores DDRAM/CGRAM address, transferred from IR.
After writing into (reading from) DDRAM/CGRAM, AC is automatically increased (decreased) by 1.
When RS = "Low" and R/W = "High", AC can be read through DB0 ~ DB6 ports.

Display Data RAM (DDRAM)
Display data RAM (DDRAM) stores display data represented in 8-bit character codes. Its extended capacity is 80 x 8
bits, or 80 characters. The area in display data RAM (DDRAM) that is not used for display can be used as general
data RAM. See Fig ure 1 for th e relationsh ips betw een DDRAM ad dresses and positions on the li quid cry stal display .

When there are fewer than 80 display characters, the display begins at the head position. For
example, if using only the ST7066, 8 characters are displayed. See Figure 3.
When the display shift operation is performed, the DDRAM address shifts. See Figure 3.
