PCF85163D

Nearly any Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)1 with modest multiplex rates may be interfaced with the PCF85162 peripheral device. Any static or multiplexed LCD with up to four backplanes and up to 32 segments can have its driving signals generated by this device. For bigger LCD applications, it is simply cascaded. The two-line bidirectional I2 C-bus is used by the PCF85162 for communication with the majority of microcontrollers. A display RAM with auto-incremented addressing, hardware sub addressing, and display memory switching (static and duplex drive modes) all reduce communication overheads.
