PCF2113x
LCD controllers/drivers
Rev. 04 4 March 2008 Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCF2113x is a low-power CMOS LCD controller and driver, designed to drive a dot
matrix LCD display of 2 lines of 12 characters or 1 line of 24 characters with 5 8 dot
format. All necessary functions for the display are provided in a single chip, including
on-chip generation of LCD bias voltages, resulting in a minimum of external components
and lower system current consumption. The PCF2113x interfaces to most
2
microcontrollers via a 4-bit or 8-bit bus or via the 2-wire I C-bus. The chip contains a
character generator and displays alphanumeric and kana (Japanese) characters.
The letter x in PCF2113x characterizes the built-in character set. Various character sets
can be manufactured on request.
2. Features
n Single-chip LCD controller/driver
n 2-line display of up to 12 characters + 120 icons, or 1-line display of up to
24 characters + 120 icons
n 5 7 character format plus cursor; 5 8 for kana (Japanese) and user-dened
symbols
n Icon mode for e.g. additional segment display section: reduced current consumption
while displaying icons only
n Icon blink function
n Very low current consumption (20 Ato200 A):
u Icon mode: < 25 A
u Power-down mode: < 2 A
n On-chip:
u Congurable 4, 3 or 2 voltage multiplier, generating LCD supply voltage V ,
LCD
independent of V , programmable by instruction (external supply also possible)
DD
u Temperature compensation of on-chip generated V : - 0.16 %/K to - 0.24 %/K
LCD
(programmable by instruction)
u Generation of intermediate LCD bias voltages
u Oscillator requires no external components (external clock also possible)
n Display data RAM: 80 characters
n Character generator ROM: 240 characters of 5 8 dots
n Character generator RAM: 16 characters of 5 8 dots; 3 characters used to drive
120 icons, 6 characters used if icon blink feature is used in application
2
n 4-bit or 8-bit parallel bus and 2-wire I C-bus interface
n 18 row and 60 column outputsPCF2113x

LCD controllers/drivers
n Multiplex rates (MUX) 1:18 (for normal operation), 1:9 (for single-line operation) and
1:2 (for Icon-only mode)
n Uses common 11 code instruction set (extended)
n Logic supply voltage range V - V = 1.8 V to 5.5 V (chip may be driven with two
DD1 SS1
battery cells)
n V generator supply voltage range V - V = 2.2 V to 4.0 V
LCD DD2 SS2
n Display supply voltage range V - V = 2.2 V to 6.5 V
LCD SS2
n Direct mode to save current consumption for Icon mode and MUX 1:9 (depending on
V and LCD liquid properties)
DD2
n CMOS compatible
n Remark: Icon mode is a way to save current. When only icons are displayed (i.e. only
the lower two rows are active), a much lower operating voltage V can be used and
LCD
the switching frequency of the LCD outputs is reduced. In most applications it is
possible to use V as V .
