14.3.6 LCD boost level control register (VLCD) 
VLCD selects the reference voltage that is to be generated when operating the voltage boost circuit (contrast 
adjustment). The reference voltage can be selected from 16 steps. 
This register is set by using an 8-bit memory manipulation instruction. 
Reset signal generation sets VLCD to 04H.

Cautions  1.  The VLCD setting is valid only when the voltage boost circuit is operating. 
  2.  Be sure to set bits 5 to 7 to “0”. 
  3.  Be sure to change the VLCD value after having stopped the operation of the voltage boost 
circuit (VLCON = 0). 
  4.  To use the internal voltage boosting method, specify the reference voltage by using the 
VLCD register (select the internal boosting method (by setting the MDSET1 and MDSET0 bits 
of the LCDM0 register to 01B) if the default reference voltage is used), wait for the reference 
voltage setup time (5 ms (min.)), and then set VLCON to 1. 
  5. With the external resistance division method and the capacitor split method, use the default 
value (04H) for the VLCD resistor.
