LCD Drivers 
The device in the 68-pin QFN package contains 20 dedicated LCD segment drivers in addition to the 18 multi-use 
pins described above. Thus, the device is capable of driving between 80 to 152 pixels of LCD display with 25% duty 
cycle (or 60 to 114 pixels with 33% duty cycle). At eight pixels per digit, this corresponds to 10 to 19 digits. 
The device in the 64-pin LQFP package contains 20 dedicated LCD segment drivers in addition to the 15 multi-use 
pins described above. Thus, the device is capable of driving between 80 to 140 pixels of LCD display with 25% duty 
cycle (or 60 to 105 pixels with 33% duty cycle). At eight pixels per digit, this corresponds to 10 to 17 digits. 
The LCD drivers are grouped into four commons and up to 38 segment drivers (68-pin package), or 4 commons and 
35 segment drivers (64-pin package). The LCD interface is flexible and can drive either digit segments or enunciator 
symbols. 
Segment drivers SEG18 and SEG19 can be configured to blink at either 0.5Hz or 1Hz. The blink rate is controlled by 
LCD_Y. There can be up to four pixels/segments connected to each of these drivers. LCD_BLKMAP18[3:0]  and 
LCD_BLKMAP19[3:0] identify which pixels, if any, are to blink. 
LCD interface memory is powered by the non-volatile supply. The bits of the LCD memory are 
preserved in LCD and SLEEP modes, even if their pin is not configured as SEG. In this case, they can 
be useful as general-purpose nonvolatile storage. 
Battery Monitor 
The battery voltage is measured by the ADC during alternative MUX frames if the BME (Battery Measure Enable) bit 
is set. While BME is set, an on-chip 45kΩ load resistor is applied to the battery and a scaled fraction of the battery 
voltage is applied to the ADC input. After each alternative MUX frame, the result of the ADC conversion is available at 
CE DRAM address 0x07. BME is ignored and assumed zero when system power is not available. See the Battery 
Monitor section of the Electrical Specification section for details regarding the ADC LSB size and the conversion 
accuracy.
