LCD_C Controller
36.1 LCD_C Introduction
The LCD_C controller directly drives LCD displays by automatically creating the ac segment and common
voltage signals. The LCD_C controller can support static and 2-mux to 8-mux LCD glasses.
The LCD_C controller features are:
•
Display memory
•
Automatic signal generation
•
Configurable frame frequency
•
Blinking of individual segments with separate blinking memory for static, and 2- to 4-mux LCDs
•
Blinking of complete display for 5- to 8-mux LCDs
•
Regulated charge pump up to 3.44 V (typical)
•
Contrast control by software
•
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
–
6-mux, 1/3 bias
–
7-mux, 1/3 bias
–
8-mux, 1/3 bias
