PCF2116 family
LCD controller / drivers
Rev. 05.01 20 July 2007 Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCF2116 is a low-power CMOS LCD controller and driver, designed to drive a split
screen dot matrix LCD display of 1 or 2 lines by 24 characters or 2 or 4 lines by
12 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 power consumption. The chip contains a
character generator and displays alphanumeric and kana (Japanese) characters. The
PCF2116 interfaces to most microcontrollers using a 4 or 8-bit bus or via the 2-wire
2
I C-bus. To allow partial V shutdown the ESD protection system of the SCL and SDA
DD
pins does not use a diode connection to V .
DD
The x in PCF2116x represents a specific letter code for a character set in the character
generator ROM (CGROM). The different character sets currently available are specified
by the letters A, C, and G (see Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7). Other character sets are
available on request.
Remark: The notation for hexadecimal numbers used in this datasheet is consistent with
NXP house style and uses a suffix h following the number e.g. 00h.
