PCA8576C Automotive LCD driver for low multiplex rates Rev. 3 8 April 2015 Product data sheet 1. General description The PCA8576C is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal 1 Display (LCD) with low multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 40 segments and can easily be cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCA8576C is compatible with most 2 microcontrollers and communicates via the two-line bidirectional I C-bus. Communication overheads are minimized by a display RAM with auto-incremented addressing and by hardware subaddressing. For a selection of NXP LCD segment drivers, see Table 21 on page 45. 2. Features and benefits AEC-Q100 compliant for automotive applications Single-chip LCD controller and driver 40 segment drives: Up to twenty 7-segment alphanumeric characters Up to ten 14-segment alphanumeric characters Any graphics of up to 160 elements Versatile blinking modes No external components required (even in multiple device applications) Selectable backplane drive configuration: static, 2, 3, or 4 backplane multiplexing 1 1 Selectable display bias configuration: static, , or 2 3 Internal LCD bias generation with voltage-follower buffers 40 4-bit RAM for display data storage Auto-incremented display data loading across device subaddress boundaries Display memory bank switching in static and duplex drive modes Wide logic LCD supply range: From 2 V for low-threshold LCDs Up to 6 V for guest-host LCDs and high-threshold twisted nematic LCDs Low power consumption May be cascaded for large LCD applications (up to 2560 segments possible) No external components Separate or combined LCD and logic supplies Optimized pinning for plane wiring in both and multiple PCA8576C applications Power-saving mode for extremely low power consumption in battery-operated and telephone applications 1.
