Rev. 1 — 4 April 2011 Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA8576D is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with low multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 40 segments. It can be easily cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCA8576D is compatible with most microcontrollers and communicates via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Communication overheads are minimized by a display RAM with auto-incremented addressing, by hardware subaddressing and by display memory switching (static and duplex drive modes).

7. Functional description
The PCA8576D is a versatile peripheral device designed to interface any microcontroller with a wide variety of LCDs. It can directly drive any static or multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 40 segments. The possible display configurations of the PCA8576D depend on the number of active backplane outputs required. A selection of display configurations is shown in Table 4. All of these configurations can be implemented in the typical system shown in Figure 3.

The resistance of the power lines must be kept to a minimum. For chip-on-glass applications, due to the Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) track resistance, each supply line must be routed separately between the chip and the connector.
Fig 3.
Typical system configuration
The host microprocessor or microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication channel with the PCA8576D. The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting pin OSC to pin VSS. The appropriate biasing voltages for the multiplexed LCD waveforms are generated internally. The only other connections required to complete the system are to the power supplies (VDD, VSS and VLCD) and the LCD panel chosen for the application.
7.1 Power-on reset
At power-on the PCA8576D resets to the following starting conditions:
• • • •
PCA8576D
All backplane outputs are set to VLCD All segment outputs are set to VLCD The selected drive mode is: 1:4 multiplex with 13 bias Blinking is switched off

• • • •
Input and output bank selectors are reset The I2C-bus interface is initialized The data pointer and the subaddress counter are cleared (set to logic 0) Display is disabled
Data transfers on the I2C-bus must be avoided for 1 ms following power-on to allow the reset action to complete.
7.2 LCD bias generator
Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider consisting of three impedances connected in series between VLCD and VSS. The middle resistor can be bypassed to provide a 12 bias voltage level for the 1:2 multiplex configuration. The LCD voltage can be temperature compensated externally using the supply to pin VLCD.
7.3 LCD voltage selector
The LCD voltage selector coordinates the multiplexing of the LCD in accordance with the selected LCD drive configuration. The operation of the voltage selector is controlled by the mode-set command (see Table 10) from the command decoder. The biasing configurations that apply to the preferred modes of operation, together with the biasing characteristics as functions of VLCD and the resulting discrimination ratios (D), are given in Table 5.
Table 5. LCD drive mode static Discrimination ratios Number of: LCD bias Backplanes Levels configuration 1 2 3 4 4 4 static

V off RMS -----------------------V LCD 0 0.354 0.333 0.333 0.333

1:2 multiplex 2 1:2 multiplex 2 1:3 multiplex 3 1:4 multiplex 4
A practical value for VLCD is determined by equating Voff(RMS) with a defined LCD threshold voltage (Vth), typically when the LCD exhibits approximately 10 % contrast. In the static drive mode a suitable choice is VLCD > 3Vth. Multiplex drive modes of 1:3 and 1:4 with 12 bias are possible but the discrimination and hence the contrast ratios are smaller. 1 Bias is calculated by ------------ , where the values for a are 1+a a = 1 for 12 bias a = 2 for 13 bias The RMS on-state voltage (Von(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 1 V on RMS = a 2 + 2a + n ----------------------------2 n 1 + a (1)

where the values for n are n = 1 for static mode n = 2 for 1:2 multiplex n = 3 for 1:3 multiplex n = 4 for 1:4 multiplex The RMS off-state voltage (Voff(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 2: V off RMS = a 2 – 2a + n ----------------------------2 n 1 + a (2)
V LCD
Discrimination is the ratio of Von(RMS) to Voff(RMS) and is determined from Equation 3: V on RMS D = ---------------------- = V off RMS a + 1 + n – 1 ------------------------------------------2 a – 1 + n – 1

(3)
Using Equation 3, the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:3 multiplex with
1 1 2 bias 2 bias
is
3 = 1.732 and the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:4 multiplex with
21 is ---------- = 1.528 . 3
The advantage of these LCD drive modes is a reduction of the LCD full scale voltage VLCD as follows:
• 1:3 multiplex (12 bias): V LCD =
6 V off RMS = 2.449V off RMS
--------------------• 1:4 multiplex (12 bias): V LCD = 4 3 - = 2.309V off RMS 3 These compare with V LCD = 3V off RMS when 13 bias is used. It should be noted that VLCD is sometimes referred as the LCD operating voltage.
7.3.1 Electro-optical performance
Suitable values for Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are dependent on the LCD liquid used. The RMS voltage, at which a pixel will be switched on or off, determine the transmissibility of the pixel. For any given liquid, there are two threshold values defined. One point is at 10 % relative transmission (at Vlow) and the other at 90 % relative transmission (at Vhigh), see Figure 4. For a good contrast performance, the following rules should be followed: V on RMS V high V off RMS V low (4) (5)
Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are properties of the display driver and are affected by the selection of a, n (see Equation 1 to Equation 3) and the VLCD voltage.

7.5 Oscillator
7.5.1 Internal clock
The internal logic of the PCA8576D and its LCD drive signals are timed either by its internal oscillator or by an external clock. The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting pin OSC to pin VSS. If the internal oscillator is used, the output from pin CLK can be used as the clock signal for several PCA8576D in the system that are connected in cascade.
7.5.2 External clock
Pin CLK is enabled as an external clock input by connecting pin OSC to VDD. The LCD frame signal frequency is determined by the clock frequency (fclk). Remark: A clock signal must always be supplied to the device; removing the clock may freeze the LCD in a DC state, which is not suitable for the liquid crystal.
7.6 Timing
The PCA8576D timing controls the internal data flow of the device. This includes the transfer of display data from the display RAM to the display segment outputs. In cascaded applications, the correct timing relationship between each PCA8576D in the system is maintained by the synchronization signal at pin SYNC. The timing also generates the LCD frame signal whose frequency is derived from the clock frequency. The frame signal frequency is a fixed division of the clock frequency from either the internal or an external f clk clock: f fr = ------- . 24
7.7 Display register
The display register holds the display data while the corresponding multiplex signals are generated. There is a one-to-one relationship between the data in the display register, the LCD segment outputs, and one column of the display RAM.
7.8 Segment outputs
The LCD drive section includes 40 segment outputs S0 to S39 which should be connected directly to the LCD. The segment output signals are generated in accordance with the multiplexed backplane signals and with data residing in the display register. When less than 40 segment outputs are required, the unused segment outputs should be left open-circuit.
7.9 Backplane outputs
The LCD drive section includes four backplane outputs BP0 to BP3 which must be connected directly to the LCD. The backplane output signals are generated in accordance with the selected LCD drive mode. If less than four backplane outputs are required, the unused outputs can be left open-circuit. In the 1:3 multiplex drive mode, BP3 carries the same signal as BP1, therefore these two adjacent outputs can be tied together to give enhanced drive capabilities.

PCA8576D
Automotive 40 x 4 LCD segment driver for low multiplex rates
In the 1:2 multiplex drive mode, BP0 and BP2, BP1 and BP3 all carry the same signals and may also be paired to increase the drive capabilities. In the static drive mode the same signal is carried by all four backplane outputs and they can be connected in parallel for very high drive requirements.
7.10 Display RAM
The display RAM is a static 40 4-bit RAM which stores LCD data. A logic 1 in the RAM bit-map indicates the on-state of the corresponding LCD element; similarly, a logic 0 indicates the off-state. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the RAM addresses and the segment outputs, and between the individual bits of a RAM word and the backplane outputs. The display RAM bit map Figure 10 shows the rows 0 to 3 which correspond with the backplane outputs BP0 to BP3, and the columns 0 to 39 which correspond with the segment outputs S0 to S39. In multiplexed LCD applications the segment data of the first, second, third and fourth row of the display RAM are time-multiplexed with BP0, BP1, BP2 and BP3 respectively.

When display data is transmitted to the PCA8576D, the display bytes received are stored in the display RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive mode. The data is stored as it arrives and does not wait for an acknowledge cycle as with the commands. Depending on the current multiplex drive mode, data is stored singularly, in pairs, triplets or quadruplets. To illustrate the filling order, an example of a 7-segment numeric display showing all drive modes is given in Figure 11; the RAM filling organization depicted applies equally to other LCD types.

• In the static drive mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0 of eight
successive 4-bit RAM words.
• In the 1:2 multiplex mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into
row 0 and 1 of four successive 4-bit RAM words.
• In the 1:3 multiplex mode, the eight bits are placed in triples into row 0, 1 and 2 to
three successive 4-bit RAM words, with row 2 of the third address left unchanged. It is not recommended to use this bit in a display because of the difficult addressing. This last bit may, if necessary, be controlled by an additional transfer to this address but care should be taken to avoid overwriting adjacent data because always full bytes are transmitted.
• In the 1:4 multiplex mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples into
row 0, 1, 2 and 3 of two successive 4-bit RAM words.
7.11 Data pointer
The addressing mechanism for the display RAM is realized using the data pointer. This allows the loading of an individual display data byte, or a series of display data bytes, into any location of the display RAM. The sequence commences with the initialization of the data pointer by the load-data-pointer command (see Section 7.17). Following this command, an arriving data byte is stored at the display RAM address indicated by the data pointer. The filling order is shown in Figure 11. After each byte is stored, the content of the data pointer is automatically incremented by a value dependent on the selected LCD drive mode: After each byte is stored, the contents of the data pointer is automatically incremented by a value dependent on the selected LCD drive mode:
• • • •
In static drive mode by eight In 1:2 multiplex drive mode by four In 1:3 multiplex drive mode by three In 1:4 multiplex drive mode by two
If an I2C-bus data access is terminated early then the state of the data pointer is unknown. The data pointer should be re-written prior to further RAM accesses.
7.12 Subaddress counter
The storage of display data is determined by the contents of the subaddress counter. Storage is allowed to take place only when the contents of the subaddress counter match with the hardware subaddress applied to A0, A1 and A2. The subaddress counter value is defined by the device-select command (see Section 7.17). If the contents of the subaddress counter and the hardware subaddress do not match then data storage is inhibited but the data pointer is incremented as if data storage had taken place. The subaddress counter is also incremented when the data pointer overflows.

PCA8576D
Automotive 40 x 4 LCD segment driver for low multiplex rates
The storage arrangements described lead to extremely efficient data loading in cascaded applications. When a series of display bytes are sent to the display RAM, automatic wrap-over to the next PCA8576D occurs when the last RAM address is exceeded. Subaddressing across device boundaries is successful even if the change to the next device in the cascade occurs within a transmitted character (such as during the 14th display data byte transmitted in 1:3 multiplex mode). The hardware subaddress must not be changed while the device is being accessed on the I2C-bus interface.
7.13 Output bank selector
The output bank selector (see Table 13) selects one of the four rows per display RAM address for transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the particular LCD drive mode in operation and on the instant in the multiplex sequence.
• In 1:4 multiplex mode, all RAM addresses of row 0 are selected, these are followed by
the contents of row 1, 2, and then 3
• In 1:3 multiplex mode, rows 0, 1, and 2 are selected sequentially • In 1:2 multiplex mode, rows 0 and 1 are selected • In static mode, row 0 is selected
The SYNC signal resets these sequences to the following starting points: row 3 for 1:4 multiplex, row 2 for 1:3 multiplex, row 1 for 1:2 multiplex and row 0 for static mode. The PCA8576D includes a RAM bank switching feature in the static and 1:2 multiplex drive modes. In the static drive mode, the bank-select command may request the contents of row 2 to be selected for display instead of the contents of row 0. In the 1:2 mode, the contents of rows 2 and 3 may be selected instead of rows 0 and 1. This gives the provision for preparing display information in an alternative bank and to be able to switch to it, once it is assembled.
7.14 Input bank selector
The input bank selector loads display data into the display RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive configuration. Display data can be loaded in row 2 in static drive mode or in rows 2 and 3 in 1:2 multiplex drive mode by using the bank-select command. The input bank selector functions independently to the output bank selector.
7.15 Blinking
The PCA8576D has a very versatile display blinking capability. The whole display can blink at a frequency selected by the blink-select command (see Table 14). Each blink frequency is a fraction of the clock frequency; the ratio between the clock frequency and blink frequency depends on the blink mode selected (see Table 6). An additional feature allows an arbitrary selection of LCD segments to blink in the static and 1:2 drive modes. This is implemented without any communication overheads by the output bank selector which alternates the displayed data between the data in the display RAM bank and the data in an alternative RAM bank at the blink frequency. This mode can also be implemented by the blink-select command (see Table 14).

PCA8576D
Automotive 40 x 4 LCD segment driver for low multiplex rates
In the 1:3 and 1:4 drive modes, where no alternative RAM bank is available, groups of LCD segments can blink selectively by changing the display RAM data at fixed time intervals. The entire display can blink at a frequency other than the nominal blink frequency by sequentially resetting and setting the display enable bit E at the required rate using the mode-set command (see Table 10).

Blink modes 1, 2 and 3 and the nominal blink frequencies 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz and 2 Hz correspond to an oscillator frequency (fclk) of 1536 Hz (see Section 11).
7.16 Characteristics of the I2C-bus
The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
7.16.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time will be interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 12).

SCL data line stable; data valid change of data allowed

7.16.2 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START condition - S. A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP condition - P (see Figure 13).

7.16.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by an acknowledge cycle.
• A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte.
• Also a master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
• The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be taken into consideration).

• A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event the transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP condition. Acknowledgement on the I2C-bus is shown in Figure 15.

7.16.5 I2C-bus controller
The PCA8576D acts as an I2C-bus slave receiver. It does not initiate I2C-bus transfers or transmit data to an I2C-bus master receiver. The only data output from the PCA8576D are the acknowledge signals of the selected devices. Device selection depends on the I2C-bus slave address, on the transferred command data and on the hardware subaddress. In single device applications, the hardware subaddress inputs A0, A1 and A2 are normally tied to VSS which defines the hardware subaddress 0. In multiple device applications A0, A1 and A2 are tied to VSS or VDD in accordance with a binary coding scheme such that no two devices with a common I2C-bus slave address have the same hardware subaddress.
7.16.6 Input filters
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are provided on the SDA and SCL lines.
7.16.7 I2C-bus protocol
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (0111 000 and 0111 001) are reserved for the PCA8576D. The PCA8576D slave address is illustrated in Table 7.

PCA8576D
Automotive 40 x 4 LCD segment driver for low multiplex rates
The least significant bit of the slave address that a PCA8576D will respond to is defined by the level tied to its SA0 input. The PCA8576D is a write-only device and will not respond to a read access. Having two reserved slave addresses allows the following on the same I2C-bus:
• Up to 16 PCA8576D for very large LCD applications • The use of two types of LCD multiplex drive modes.
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Figure 16. The sequence is initiated with a START condition (S) from the I2C-bus master which is followed by one of two possible PCA8576D slave addresses available. All PCA8576D whose SA0 inputs correspond to bit 0 of the slave address respond by asserting an acknowledge in parallel. This I2C-bus transfer is ignored by all PCA8576D whose SA0 inputs are set to the alternative level.

After an acknowledgement, one or more command bytes follow, that define the status of each addressed PCA8576D. The last command byte sent is identified by resetting its most significant bit, continuation bit C, (see Figure 17). The command bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed PCA8576D on the bus.

After the last command byte, one or more display data bytes may follow. Display data bytes are stored in the display RAM at the address specified by the data pointer and the subaddress counter. Both data pointer and subaddress counter are automatically updated and the data directed to the intended PCA8576D device. An acknowledgement after each byte is asserted only by the PCA8576D that are addressed via address lines A0, A1 and A2. After the last display byte, the I2C-bus master asserts a STOP condition (P). Alternately a START may be asserted to restart an I2C-bus access.

12. Application information
12.1 Cascaded operation
In large display configurations, up to 16 PCA8576D can be differentiated on the same I2C-bus by using the 3-bit hardware subaddresses (A0, A1 and A2) and the programmable I2C-bus slave address (SA0).
Table 18. Cluster 1 Addressing cascaded PCA8576D Bit SA0 0 Pin A2 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 Pin A1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 Pin A0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 Device 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
The PCA8576D connected in cascade are synchronized to allow the backplane signals from only one device in the cascade to be shared. This arrangement is cost-effective in large LCD applications since the backplane outputs of only one device need to be through-plated to the backplane electrodes of the display. The other cascaded PCA8576D contribute additional segment outputs but their backplane outputs are left open-circuit (see Figure 21). All PCA8576D connected in cascade are correctly synchronized by the SYNC signal. This synchronization is guaranteed after the power-on reset. The only time that SYNC is likely to be needed is if synchronization is lost accidentally, for example, by noise in adverse electrical environments, or if the LCD multiplex drive mode is changed in an application using several cascaded PCA8576D, as the drive mode cannot be changed on all of the cascaded devices simultaneously. SYNC can be either an input or an output signal; a SYNC output is implemented as an open-drain driver with an internal pull-up resistor. The PCA8576D asserts SYNC at the start of its last active backplane signal and monitors the SYNC line at all other times. If cascade synchronization is lost, it is restored by the first PCA8576D to assert SYNC. The timing relationship between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal for each LCD drive mode is shown in Figure 22.

The contact resistance between the SYNC on each cascaded device must be controlled. If the resistance is too high, the device is not able to synchronize properly; this is particularly applicable to chip-on-glass applications. The maximum SYNC contact resistance allowed for the number of devices in cascade is given in Table 19.

Number of devices
The PCA8576D can be cascaded with the PCA8534A. This allows optimal drive selection for a given number of pixels to display. Figure 19 and Figure 20 show the timing of the synchronization signals.

In the case described in Table 21 the RAM has to be written entirely and BP2/S2, BP2/S5, BP2/S8 etc. have to be connected to elements on the display. This can be achieved by a combination of writing and rewriting the RAM like follows:
• In the first write to the RAM, bits a7 to a0 are written. • In the second write, bits b7 to b0 are written, overwriting bits a1 and a0 with bits b7
and b6.
• In the third write, bits c7 to c0 are written, overwriting bits b1 and b0 with bits c7 and
c6. Depending on the method of writing to the RAM (standard or continuous filling by rewriting), some elements remain unused or can be used, but it has to be considered in the module layout process as well as in the driver software design.
