CHAPTER 4: PERIPHERAL CIRCUITS AND OPERATION (LCD Driver)
LCD Driver (COM0–COM3, SEG0–SEG31)4.7
Configuration of LCD
driver
The S1C62740 has four common terminals (COM0–COM3) and 32
segment terminals (SEG0–SEG31), so that it can drive an LCD with
a maximum of 128 (32 × 4) segments.
The power for driving the LCD is generated by the CPU internal
circuit so that there is no need to apply power especially from
outside.
The driving method is 1/4 duty dynamic drive depending on the
four types of potential, V
SS, VC1, VC2 and VC3. In addition to the 1/
4 duty, 1/3, 1/2 and 1/1 drive duty can be selected through the
software. The frame frequency is 32 Hz for 1/4, 1/2 and 1/1 duty,
and 42.7 Hz for 1/3 duty (f
OSC1 = 32,768 Hz).
LCD display ON/OFF may be controlled by the software.
Figures 4.7.1–4.7.3 show the drive waveform for 1/4 duty, 1/3
duty and 1/2 duty.
Note: "fOSC1" indicates the oscillation frequency of the OSC1 oscillation circuit.
