14.8.3 Capacitor split method 
RL78/L12 contains an internal voltage reduction circuit for generating LCD drive power supplies. The internal voltage 
reduction circuit and external capacitors (0.47 
μ
F±30%) are used to generate an LCD drive voltage. Only 1/3 bias mode 
can be set for the capacitor split method. 
Different from the external resistance division method, there is always no current flowing with the capacitor split method, 
so current consumption can be reduced.

Note  When switching to internal voltage boosting, connect the capacitor C4 as shown in figure 14-23 Examples of 
LCD Drive Power Connections (Internal Voltage Boosting Method). 
Remark  Use a capacitor with as little leakage as possible. 
  In addition, make C1 a nonpolar capacitor.
