LCD
Selection
By default, the LCD driver runs on main external power (V
LCD
= V
DD
), see Table 33.7 (p. 789) .
An internal boost circuit can be enabled by setting VBOOSTEN in CMU_LCDCTRL and selecting the
boosted voltage by setting VLCDSEL in LCD_DISPCTRL. This will boosts V
LCD
to V
BOOST
. V
BOOST
can
be selected in the range of 3.0 V – 3.6 V by configuring VBLEV in LCD_DISPCTRL. Note that the boost
circuit is not designed to operate with the selected boost voltage, V
BOOST
, smaller than V
DD
. The boost
circuit can boost the V
LCD
up to 3.6 V when V
DD
is as low as 2.0 V.
When using the voltage booster, the LCD_BEXT pin must be connected through a 1 µF capacitor to
VSS, and the LCD_BCAP_P and LCD_BCAP_N pins must be connected to each other through a 22
nF capacitor.
