27.1 LCD_F Controller Introduction
27.1.1 Introduction
The LCD_F controller directly drives segment LCDs by automatically creating the AC segment and
common voltage signals. The LCD_F controller can support static and 2-mux to 8-mux LCDs.
27.1.2 Features
The LCD_F controller features are:
•
Display memory
•
Supports LPM3
•
Configurable SEG and COM pins
•
Automatic signal generation
•
Configurable frame frequency
•
Blinking of individual segments with separate blinking memory for static, and 2- to 8-mux LCDs
•
8-segment animation with configurable animation frequency
•
Support for the following types of LCDs
–
Static
–
2-mux, 1/2 bias or 1/3 bias
–
3-mux, 1/2 bias or 1/3 bias
–
4-mux, 1/2 bias or 1/3 bias
–
5-mux, 1/3 bias or 1/4 bias
–
