The voltage V

 is connected directly to V
DD
. V
LCD1
, V
LCD2
, and V
LCD3
are internal bias voltages for the LCD driver waveforms. They are 
derived from V
LCD
 using a resistor ladder (see Figure 16-3).
The relative potential of the LCD voltages are:
•V
LCD
 = V
DD
•V
LCD1
 = 2/3 × (V

– V
bias
)
•V
LCD2
 = 1/3 × (V
LCD 
– V
bias
)
•V
LCD3
 = V
bias
The V
LCD3 
bias voltage, V
bias
, is controlled by the LCD contrast control 
bits, LCCON[2:0].
16.5.3 LCD Cycle Frame
The LCD driver module uses the CGMXCLK (see Section 7. Oscillator 
(OSC)) as the input reference clock. This clock is divided to produce the 
LCD waveform base clock, LCDCLK, by configuring the LCLK[2:0] bits 
in the LCD clock register. The LCDCLK clocks the backplane and the 
frontplane output waveforms.
The LCD cycle frame is determined by the equation:
For example, for 1/3 duty and 256Hz waveform base clock:
LCD CYCLE FRAME = 
LCD WAVEFORM BASE CLOCK × DUTY
1
LCD CYCLE FRAME = 
256 × (1/3)
