PCA85176  
Automotive LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
Rev. 5 — 11 July 2013  
Product data sheet  
1. General description  
The PCA85176 is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal  
Display (LCD)1 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. It can be easily  
cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCA85176 is compatible with most  
microcontrollers and communicates via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Communication  
overheads are minimized by a display RAM with auto-incremented addressing, by  
hardware subaddressing, and by display memory switching (static and duplex drive  
modes).

[2] Normal blinking is assumed when the LCD multiplex drive modes 1:3 or 1:4 are selected.  
[3] Alternate RAM bank blinking does not apply in 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex drive modes.  
7.1.5.1 Blinking  
The display blinking capabilities of the PCA85176 are very versatile. The whole display  
can blink at frequencies selected by the blink-select command (see Table 11). The blink  
frequencies are derived from the clock frequency. The ratio between the clock and blink  
frequencies depends on the blink mode selected (see Table 12).  
An additional feature is for an arbitrary selection of LCD elements to blink. This applies to  
the static and 1:2 multiplex drive modes and can be implemented without any  
communication overheads. By means of the output bank selector, the displayed RAM  
banks are exchanged with alternate RAM banks at the blink frequency. This mode can  
also be specified by the blink-select command.  
In the 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex modes, where no alternative RAM bank is available, groups of  
LCD elements can blink by selectively changing the display RAM data at fixed time  
intervals.  
The entire display can blink at a frequency other than the nominal blink frequency. This  
can be effectively performed by resetting and setting the display enable bit E at the  
required rate using the mode-set command (see Table 7).

7.2 Power-On Reset (POR)  
At power-on the PCA85176 resets to the following starting conditions:  
All backplane and segment outputs are set to VLCD  
The selected drive mode is: 1:4 multiplex with 13 bias  
Blinking is switched off  
Input and output bank selectors are reset  
The I2C-bus interface is initialized  
The data pointer and the subaddress counter are cleared (set to logic 0)  
The display is disabled (bit E = 0, see Table 7)  
Remark: Do not transfer data on the I2C-bus for at least 1 ms after a power-on to allow  
the reset action to complete.  
7.3 Possible display configurations  
The possible display configurations of the PCA85176 depend on the number of active  
backplane outputs required. A selection of display configurations is shown in Table 13. All  
of these configurations can be implemented in the typical system shown in Figure 5.

The resistance of the power lines must be kept to a minimum.  
Fig 5. Typical system configuration  
The host microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication channel with the  
PCA85176. The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting pin OSC to pin VSS. The  
appropriate biasing voltages for the multiplexed LCD waveforms are generated internally.  
The only other connections required to complete the system are the power supplies (VDD  
,
V
SS, and VLCD) and the LCD panel chosen for the application.  
7.3.1 LCD bias generator  
Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider of three  
impedances connected between VLCD and VSS. The center impedance is bypassed by  
switch if the 12 bias voltage level for the 1:2 multiplex drive mode configuration is  
selected.  
7.3.2 Display register  
The display register holds the display data while the corresponding multiplex signals are  
generated.  
7.3.3 LCD voltage selector  
The LCD voltage selector coordinates the multiplexing of the LCD in accordance with the  
selected LCD drive configuration. The operation of the voltage selector is controlled by the  
mode-set command from the command decoder. The biasing configurations that apply to  
the preferred modes of operation, together with the biasing characteristics as functions of  
V
LCD and the resulting discrimination ratios (D) are given in Table 14.

A practical value for VLCD is determined by equating Voff(RMS) with a defined LCD  
threshold voltage (Vth(off)), typically when the LCD exhibits approximately 10 % contrast. In  
the static drive mode a suitable choice is VLCD > 3Vth(off)  
.
Multiplex drive modes of 1:3 and 1:4 with 12 bias are possible but the discrimination and  
hence the contrast ratios are smaller.

Using Equation 3, the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:3 multiplex with  
12 bias is 3 = 1.732 and the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:4 multiplex with  
21  
12 bias is ---------- = 1.528 .

The advantage of these LCD drive modes is a reduction of the LCD full scale voltage VLCD  
as follows:

These compare with VLCD = 3VoffRMSwhen 13 bias is used.  
It should be noted that VLCD is sometimes referred as the LCD operating voltage.  
7.3.3.1 Electro-optical performance  
Suitable values for Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are dependent on the LCD liquid used. The  
RMS voltage, at which a pixel will be switched on or off, determine the transmissibility of  
the pixel.  
For any given liquid, there are two threshold values defined. One point is at 10 % relative  
transmission (at Vth(off)) and the other at 90 % relative transmission (at Vth(on)), see  
Figure 6. For a good contrast performance, the following rules should be followed:  
V
V
onRMSVthon  
offRMSVthoff

(5)  
V
on(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are properties of the display driver and are affected by the selection  
of a, n (see Equation 1 to Equation 3) and the VLCD voltage.  
Vth(off) and Vth(on) are properties of the LCD liquid and can be provided by the module  
manufacturer. Vth(off) is sometimes just named Vth. Vth(on) is sometimes named saturation  
voltage Vsat  
.
It is important to match the module properties to those of the driver in order to achieve  
optimum performance.

7.4 Oscillator  
7.4.1 Internal clock  
The internal logic of the PCA85176 and its LCD drive signals are timed either by its  
internal oscillator or by an external clock. The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting  
pin OSC to pin VSS. If the internal oscillator is used, the output from pin CLK can be used  
as the clock signal for several PCA85176 in the system that are connected in cascade.  
7.4.2 External clock  
Pin CLK is enabled as an external clock input by connecting pin OSC to VDD. The LCD  
frame frequency is determined by the clock frequency (fclk).  
Remark: A clock signal must always be supplied to the device; removing the clock may  
freeze the LCD in a DC state, which is not suitable for the liquid crystal.  
7.4.3 Timing  
The PCA85176 timing controls the internal data flow of the device. This includes the  
transfer of display data from the display RAM to the display segment outputs. In cascaded  
applications, the correct timing relationship between each PCA85176 in the system is  
maintained by the synchronization signal at pin SYNC. The timing also generates the LCD  
frame frequency signal. The frame frequency signal is a fixed division of the clock  
fclk  
-------  
=
frequency from either the internal or an external clock: ffr

7.5 Backplane and segment outputs  
7.5.1 Backplane outputs  
The LCD drive section includes four backplane outputs BP0 to BP3 which must be  
connected directly to the LCD. The backplane output signals are generated in accordance  
with the selected LCD drive mode. If less than four backplane outputs are required, the  
unused outputs can be left open-circuit.  
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode, BP3 carries the same signal as BP1, therefore these two  
adjacent outputs can be tied together to give enhanced drive capabilities  
In 1:2 multiplex drive mode, BP0 and BP2, respectively, BP1 and BP3 all carry the  
same signals and may also be paired to increase the drive capabilities  
In static drive mode the same signal is carried by all four backplane outputs and they  
can be connected in parallel for very high drive requirements  
7.5.2 Segment outputs  
The LCD drive section includes 40 segment outputs S0 to S39 which should be  
connected directly to the LCD. The segment output signals are generated in accordance  
with the multiplexed backplane signals and with data residing in the display register. When  
less than 40 segment outputs are required, the unused segment outputs should be left  
open-circuit.

7.6 Display RAM  
The display RAM is a static 40 4-bit RAM which stores LCD data.  
There is a one-to-one correspondence between  
the bits in the RAM bitmap and the LCD elements  
the RAM columns and the segment outputs  
the RAM rows and the backplane outputs.  
A logic 1 in the RAM bitmap indicates the on-state of the corresponding LCD element;  
similarly, a logic 0 indicates the off-state.  
The display RAM bitmap, Figure 12, shows the rows 0 to 3 which correspond with the  
backplane outputs BP0 to BP3, and the columns 0 to 39 which correspond with the  
segment outputs S0 to S39. In multiplexed LCD applications the segment data of the first,  
second, third, and fourth row of the display RAM are time-multiplexed with BP0, BP1,  
BP2, and BP3 respectively.

The display RAM bitmap shows the direct relationship between the display RAM column and the  
segment outputs; and between the bits in a RAM row and the backplane outputs.  
Fig 12. Display RAM bitmap  
When display data is transmitted to the PCA85176, the display bytes received are stored  
in the display RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive mode. The data is stored as  
it arrives and depending on the current multiplex drive mode the bits are stored singularly,  
in pairs, triples, or quadruples. To illustrate the filling order, an example of a 7-segment  
display showing all drive modes is given in Figure 13; the RAM filling organization  
depicted applies equally to other LCD types.  
In static drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed into row 0 as one byte  
In 1:2 multiplex drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into  
row 0 and 1 as two successive 4-bit RAM words  
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode the eight bits are placed in triples into row 0, 1, and 2 as  
three successive 3-bit RAM words, with bit 3 of the third address left unchanged. It is  
not recommended to use this bit in a display because of the difficult addressing. This  
last bit may, if necessary, be controlled by an additional transfer to this address, but  
care should be taken to avoid overwriting adjacent data because always full bytes are  
transmitted (see Section 7.6.3)  
In 1:4 multiplex drive mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples  
into row 0, 1, 2, and 3 as two successive 4-bit RAM words

PCA85176  
NXP Semiconductors  
Automotive LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
7.6.1 Data pointer  
The addressing mechanism for the display RAM is realized using the data pointer. This  
allows the loading of an individual display data byte, or a series of display data bytes, into  
any location of the display RAM. The sequence commences with the initialization of the  
data pointer by the load-data-pointer command (see Table 8). Following this command, an  
arriving data byte is stored at the display RAM address indicated by the data pointer. The  
filling order is shown in Figure 13.  
After each byte is stored, the content of the data pointer is automatically incremented by a  
value dependent on the selected LCD drive mode:  
In static drive mode by eight  
In 1:2 multiplex drive mode by four  
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode by three  
In 1:4 multiplex drive mode by two  
If an I2C-bus data access terminates early then the state of the data pointer is unknown.  
Consequently, the data pointer must be rewritten prior to further RAM accesses.  
7.6.2 Subaddress counter  
The storage of display data is determined by the contents of the subaddress counter.  
Storage is allowed only when the content of the subaddress counter match with the  
hardware subaddress applied to A0, A1, and A2. The subaddress counter value is defined  
by the device-select command (see Table 9). If the content of the subaddress counter and  
the hardware subaddress do not match then data storage is inhibited but the data pointer  
is incremented as if data storage had taken place. The subaddress counter is also  
incremented when the data pointer overflows.  
The storage arrangements described lead to extremely efficient data loading in cascaded  
applications. When a series of display bytes are sent to the display RAM, automatic  
wrap-over to the next PCA85176 occurs when the last RAM address is exceeded.  
Subaddressing across device boundaries is successful even if the change to the next  
device in the cascade occurs within a transmitted character.  
The hardware subaddress must not be changed while the device is being accessed on the  
I2C-bus interface.

In the case described in Table 16 the RAM has to be written entirely and BP2/S2, BP2/S5,  
BP2/S8 etc. have to be connected to elements on the display. This can be achieved by a  
combination of writing and rewriting the RAM like follows:  
In the first write to the RAM, bits a7 to a0 are written  
The data-pointer (see Section 7.6.1 on page 24) has to be set to the address of bit a1  
In the second write, bits b7 to b0 are written, overwriting bits a1 and a0 with bits b7  
and b6  
The data-pointer has to be set to the address of bit b1  
In the third write, bits c7 to c0 are written, overwriting bits b1 and b0 with bits c7 and  
c6  
Depending on the method of writing to the RAM (standard or entire filling by rewriting),  
some elements remain unused or can be used, but it has to be considered in the module  
layout process as well as in the driver software design.

7.6.4 Writing over the RAM address boundary  
In all multiplex drive modes, depending on the setting of the data pointer, it is possible to  
fill the RAM over the RAM address boundary. If the PCA85176 is part of a cascade the  
additional bits fall into the next device that also generates the acknowledge signal. If the  
PCA85176 is a single device or the last device in a cascade the additional bits will be  
discarded and no acknowledge signal will be generated.  
7.6.5 Bank selection  
7.6.5.1 Output bank selector  
The output bank selector (see Table 10 on page 9) selects one of the four rows per display  
RAM address for transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the  
particular LCD drive mode in operation and on the instant in the multiplex sequence.  
In 1:4 multiplex mode, all RAM addresses of row 0 are selected, followed by the  
contents of row 1, row 2, and then row 3  
In 1:3 multiplex mode, rows 0, 1, and 2 are selected sequentially  
In 1:2 multiplex mode, rows 0 and 1 are selected  
In static mode, row 0 is selected  
7.6.5.2 Input bank selector  
The input bank selector loads display data into the display RAM in accordance with the  
selected LCD drive configuration. Display data can be loaded by using the bank-select  
command (see Table 10). The input bank selector functions independently to the output  
bank selector.  
7.6.5.3 RAM bank switching  
The PCA85176 includes a RAM bank switching feature in the static and 1:2 multiplex  
drive modes. A bank can be thought of as one RAM row or a collection of RAM rows (see  
Figure 14). The RAM bank switching gives the provision for preparing display information  
in an alternative bank and to be able to switch to it once it is complete.

Fig 14. RAM banks in static and multiplex driving mode 1:2  
There are two banks; bank 0 and bank 1. Figure 14 shows the location of these banks  
relative to the RAM map. Input and output banks can be set independently from one  
another with the Bank-select command (see Table 10 on page 9). Figure 15 shows the  
concept.

Fig 15. Bank selection  
In the static drive mode, the bank-select command may request the contents of row 2 to  
be selected for display instead of the contents of row 0. In the 1:2 multiplex mode, the  
contents of rows 2 and 3 may be selected instead of rows 0 and 1. This gives the  
provision for preparing display information in an alternative bank and to be able to switch  
to it once it is assembled.  
In Figure 16 an example is shown for 1:2 multiplex drive mode where the displayed data is  
read from the first two rows of the memory (bank 0), while the transmitted data is stored in  
the second two rows of the memory (bank 1).

8. Characteristics of the I2C-bus  
The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules.  
The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must  
be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor when connected to the output  
stages of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.  
8.1 Bit transfer  
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain  
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time  
will be interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 17).

8.2 START and STOP conditions  
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy.  
A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START  
condition - S.  
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP  
condition - P.  
The START and STOP conditions are illustrated in Figure 18.

8.3 System configuration  
A device generating a message is a transmitter, a device receiving a message is the  
receiver. The device that controls the message is the master and the devices which are  
controlled by the master are the slaves. The system configuration is shown in Figure 19.

8.4 Acknowledge  
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from  
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by an acknowledge  
cycle.  
A slave receiver, which is addressed, must generate an acknowledge after the  
reception of each byte  
A master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte that  
has been clocked out of the slave transmitter  
The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge  
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the  
acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be taken into  
consideration)  
A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an  
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the  
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP  
condition  
Acknowledgement on the I2C-bus is illustrated in Figure 20.

8.5 I2C-bus controller  
The PCA85176 acts as an I2C-bus slave receiver. It does not initiate I2C-bus transfers or  
transmit data to an I2C-bus master receiver. The only data output from the PCA85176 are  
the acknowledge signals of the selected devices. Device selection depends on the  
I2C-bus slave address, on the transferred command data and on the hardware  
subaddress.  
In single device applications, the hardware subaddress inputs A0, A1, and A2 are  
normally tied to VSS which defines the hardware subaddress 0. In multiple device  
applications A0, A1, and A2 are tied to VSS or VDD using a binary coding scheme, so that  
no two devices with a common I2C-bus slave address have the same hardware  
subaddress.  
8.6 Input filters  
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are  
provided on the SDA and SCL lines.  
8.7 I2C-bus protocol  
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (0111 000 and 0111 001) are used to address the  
PCA85176. The entire I2C-bus slave address byte is shown in Table 17.

The PCA85176 is a write-only device and will not respond to a read access, therefore bit 0  
should always be logic 0. Bit 1 of the slave address byte that a PCA85176 will respond to,  
is defined by the level tied to its SA0 input (VSS for logic 0 and VDD for logic 1).  
Having two reserved slave addresses allows the following on the same I2C-bus:  
Up to 16 PCA85176 for very large LCD applications  
The use of two types of LCD multiplex drive modes  
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Figure 21. The sequence is initiated with a START  
condition (S) from the I2C-bus master which is followed by one of the two possible  
PCA85176 slave addresses available. All PCA85176 whose SA0 inputs correspond to  
bit 0 of the slave address respond by asserting an acknowledge in parallel. This I2C-bus  
transfer is ignored by all PCA85176 whose SA0 inputs are set to the alternative level.

After an acknowledgement, one or more command bytes follow that define the status of  
each addressed PCA85176.  
The last command byte sent is identified by resetting its most significant bit, continuation  
bit C (see Figure 22). The command bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed  
PCA85176 on the bus.

After the last command byte, one or more display data bytes may follow. Display data  
bytes are stored in the display RAM at the address specified by the data pointer and the  
subaddress counter. Both data pointer and subaddress counter are automatically updated  
and the data directed to the intended PCA85176 device.  
An acknowledgement after each byte is asserted only by the PCA85176 that are  
addressed via address lines A0, A1, and A2. After the last display byte, the I2C-bus  
master asserts a STOP condition (P). Alternately a START may be asserted to restart an  
I2C-bus access.

10. Safety notes  
CAUTION  
This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Observe precautions for handling  
electrostatic sensitive devices.  
Such precautions are described in the ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC/ST 61340-5, JESD625-A or  
equivalent standards.  
CAUTION  
Static voltages across the liquid crystal display can build up when the LCD supply voltage  
(VLCD) is on while the IC supply voltage (VDD) is off, or vice versa. This may cause unwanted  
display artifacts. To avoid such artifacts, VLCD and VDD must be applied or removed together.

14. Application information  
14.1 Cascaded operation  
Large display configurations of up to 16 PCA85176 can be recognized on the same  
I2C-bus by using the 3-bit hardware subaddress (A0, A1, and A2) and the programmable  
I2C-bus slave address (SA0).

When cascaded PCA85176 are synchronized, they can share the backplane signals from  
one of the devices in the cascade. The other PCA85176 of the cascade contribute  
additional segment outputs, but their backplane outputs are left open-circuit  
(see Figure 27).

Fig 27. Cascaded PCA85176 configuration  
The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded  
PCA85176. Synchronization is guaranteed after a power-on reset. The only time that  
SYNC is likely to be needed is if synchronization is accidentally lost (e.g. by noise in  
adverse electrical environments or by defining a multiplex drive mode when PCA85176  
with different SA0 levels are cascaded).  
SYNC is organized as an input/output pin. The output selection is realized as an  
open-drain driver with an internal pull-up resistor. A PCA85176 asserts the SYNC line at  
the onset of its last active backplane signal and monitors the SYNC line at all other times.  
If synchronization in the cascade is lost, it is restored by the first PCA85176 to assert  
SYNC. The timing relationship between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal  
for the various drive modes of the PCA85176 are shown in Figure 28.  
The PCA85176 can always be cascaded with other devices of the same type or  
conditionally with other devices of the same family. This allows optimal drive selection for  
a given number of pixels to display. Figure 25 and Figure 28 show the timing of the  
synchronization signals.

In a cascaded configuration only one PCA85176 master must be used as clock source. All  
other PCA85176 in the cascade must be configured as slave such that they receive the  
clock from the master.  
If an external clock source is used, all PCA85176 in the cascade must be configured such  
as to receive the clock from that external source (pin OSC connected to VDD). Thereby it  
must be ensured that the clock tree is designed such that on all PCA85176 the clock  
propagation delay from the clock source to all PCA85176 in the cascade is as equal as  
possible since otherwise synchronization artefacts may occur.  
In mixed cascading configurations, care has to be taken that the specifications of the  
individual cascaded devices are met at all times.

19. Soldering of SMD packages  
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account  
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow  
soldering description”.  
19.1 Introduction to soldering  
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to  
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both  
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is  
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and  
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not  
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high  
densities that come with increased miniaturization.  
19.2 Wave and reflow soldering  
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from  
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:  
Through-hole components  
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board  
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless  
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,  
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,  
due to an increased probability of bridging.  
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by  
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,  
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.  
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:  
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias  
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation  
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages  
Package placement  
Inspection and repair  
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering  
19.3 Wave soldering  
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:  
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board  
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are  
exposed to the wave  
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

19.4 Reflow soldering  
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:  
Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to  
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 32) than a SnPb process, thus  
reducing the process window  
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process  
window for a mix of large and small components on one board  
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is  
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak  
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste  
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the  
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package  
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with  
Table 23 and 24

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all  
times.  
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow  
soldering, see Figure 32.
