PCF8545 Universal LCD driver for multiplex rates up to 1:8 Rev. 1 13 November 2013 Product data sheet 1. General description The PCF8545 is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal Display 1 (LCD) with low multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any multiplexed LCD containing up to eight backplanes, and up to 320 elements. The PCF8545 is compatible 2 with most microcontrollers and communicates via the two-line bidirectional I C-bus (PCF8545A) or a three line unidirectional SPI-bus (PCF8545B). Communication overheads are minimized using a display RAM with auto-incremented addressing. For a selection of NXP LCD segment drivers, see Table 40 on page 61. 2. Features and benefits Single-chip 320 elements LCD controller and driver Wide range for digital power supply: from 1.8 V to 5.5 V LCD supply range from 2.5 V up to 5.5 V LCD and logic supplies may be separated Low power consumption Selectable backplane drive configuration: 4, 6, or 8 backplane multiplexing Selectable display bias configuration 320-bit RAM for display data storage 2 400 kHz I C-bus interface (PCF8545A) 5 MHz SPI-bus interface (PCF8545B) Programmable frame frequency in the range of 60 Hz to 300 Hz in steps of 10 Hz factory calibrated 320 segments driven allowing: up to 40 7-segment alphanumeric characters up to 20 14-segment alphanumeric characters any graphics of up to 320 elements Manufactured in silicon gate CMOS process 3.
