PCA85232  
LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
Rev. 4 — 8 April 2015  
Product data sheet  
1. General description  
The PCA85232 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 160 segments. It can easily  
be cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCA85232 is compatible with most  
microcontrollers and communicates via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Communication  
overheads are minimized by a display RAM with auto-incremental addressing, by  
hardware subaddressing, and by display memory switching (static and duplex drive  
modes).  
For a selection of NXP LCD segment drivers, see Table 29 on page 56.

7.1.6 Clock frequency and timing  
The timing of the PCA85232 organizes the internal data flow of the device. The timing  
includes the transfer of display data from the display RAM to the display segment outputs  
and therefore the frame frequency.  
7.1.6.1 Clock source selection  
The PCA85232 can be configured to use either the built-in oscillator or an external clock  
as clock source:  
Internal clock — To enable the internal oscillator, pin OSC has to be connected to VSS  
Pin CLK then becomes an output. For further information on the internal clock, see  
Section 7.1.6.2.  
.
External clock — To enable the use of an external clock, pin OSC has to be connected to  
VDD. Pin CLK then becomes an input for the external clock frequency fclk(ext). For further  
information on the external clock, see Section 7.1.6.3.  
Figure 3 illustrates the frequency generation of the PCA85232.

Fig 3. Frequency generation of the PCA85232  
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.  
7.1.6.2 Internal clock  
If the internal oscillator is used, the timing of the PCA85232 is derived from the built-in  
oscillator by a pre-scaler which can be configured with the frequency-ctrl command (see  
Table 12).  
The internal oscillator is calibrated within an accuracy of 5.1 % (at VDD = 5.0 V;  
Tamb = 30 C).  
The frequency-ctrl command determines the division factor between the oscillator  
frequency fosc and the internal clock frequency fclk(int). If the internal oscillator is used, the  
frame frequency is derived from the internal clock frequency fclk(int) by the fixed division  
shown in Equation 1 on page 9.  
If the display is enabled (see bit E in Table 6), fclk(int) on pin CLK provides the clock signal  
for cascaded LCD drivers in the system. For further information about cascading, see  
Section 14.4 on page 44. The value range of fosc is specified in Table 22 on page 38.  
7.1.6.3 External clock  
If the external clock source is selected, the timing frequency of the PCA85232 is the  
external clock frequency. In this case, the frequency-ctrl command has no influence on  
the clock frequency nor the frame frequency. The frame frequency is derived from the  
external clock frequency fclk(ext) by the fixed division as shown in Equation 1.  
7.1.6.4 Frame frequency  
Sourced by the internal oscillator or an external clock, the frame frequency is derived from  
the clock frequency fclk by Equation 1.

7.1.6.6 Blinking  
The display blinking capabilities of the PCA85232 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 (fclk). The ratios between the clock and  
blink frequencies depend on the blink mode in which the device is operating (see  
Table 13).

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: With the output bank selector, the displayed RAM banks are

exchanged (see Section 7.5.4 on page 25) with alternate RAM banks at the blink  
frequency. This mode can also be specified by the blink-select command (see Table 11 on  
page 8).  
In the 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex modes, where no alternate RAM bank is available, groups of  
LCD elements can blink selectively by changing the display RAM data at fixed time  
intervals.  
The entire display can blink at a frequency other than the nominal blinking 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 6).  
7.2 Power-On Reset (POR)  
At power-on, the PCA85232 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 6 on page 6)  
If internal oscillator is selected (pin OSC connected to VSS), then there is no clock  
signal on pin CLK  
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 display configurations possible with the PCA85232 depend on the required number of  
active backplane outputs. A selection of display configurations is given in Table 14.  
All of the display configurations given in Table 14 can be implemented in a typical system  
as shown in Figure 5.

Fig 5. Typical system configuration  
The host microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication channel with the  
PCA85232.  
Biasing voltages for the multiplexed LCD waveforms are generated internally, removing  
the need for an external bias generator. The internal oscillator is selected by connecting  
pin OSC to VSS. The only other connections required to complete the system are the  
power supplies (VDD, VSS, and VLCD) and the LCD panel selected for the application.

LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
7.3.1 LCD bias generator  
Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider of three  
impedances connected between pins 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. The biasing configurations that apply to the preferred modes of  
operation, together with the biasing characteristics as functions of VLCD and the resulting  
discrimination ratios (D) are given in Table 15.  
Discrimination is a term which is defined as the ratio of the on and off RMS voltage across  
a segment. It can be thought of as a measurement of contrast.

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.

Bias is calculated by ------------ , where the values for a are  
1 + a  
a = 1 for 12 bias

Using Equation 4, the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:3 multiplex with

7.3.3.1 Electro-optical performance  
Suitable values for Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are dependent on the LCD liquid used. The  
RMS voltages, at which a pixel is 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

V
on(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are properties of the display driver and are affected by the selection  
of a (see Equation 2), n (see Equation 4), 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 named Vth. Vth(on) is sometimes named saturation  
voltage Vsat

7.4 Backplane and segment outputs  
7.4.1 Backplane outputs  
The LCD drive section includes four backplane outputs: BP0 to BP3. The backplane  
output signals are generated in accordance with the selected LCD drive mode.  
In the 1:4 multiplex drive mode BP0 to BP3 must be connected directly to the LCD.  
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, BP1 and BP3 respectively 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.  
The pins for the four backplanes BP0 to BP3 are available on both pin bars of the chip. In  
applications, it is possible to use either the pins for the backplanes  
on the top pin bar  
on the bottom pin bar  
or both of them to increase the driving strength of the device.  
When using all backplanes available they may be connected to the respective sibling  
(BP0 on the top pin bar with BP0 on the bottom pin bar, and so on).  
7.4.2 Segment outputs  
The LCD drive section includes 160 segment outputs (S0 to S159) which must be  
connected directly to the LCD. The segment output signals are generated in accordance  
with the multiplexed backplane signals and with data resident in the display register.  
When less than 160 segment outputs are required, the unused segment outputs must be  
left open-circuit.  
7.5 Display RAM  
The display RAM is a static 160 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.

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 addresses and  
the segment outputs; and between the bits in a RAM word and the backplane outputs.  
Fig 12. Display RAM bitmap  
When display data is transmitted to the PCA85232, the received display bytes are stored  
in the display RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive mode. The data is stored as  
it arrives and does not wait for the acknowledge cycle as with the commands. Depending  
on the current multiplex drive mode, data is stored singularly, in pairs, triples, or  
quadruples. To illustrate the filling order, an example of a 7-segment numeric display  
showing all drive modes is given in Figure 13. The RAM filling organization depicted  
applies equally to other LCD types.  
The following applies to Figure 13:  
In static drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0 as 1 byte.  
In 1:2 multiplex drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into  
row 0 and 1 as four successive 2-bit RAM words.  
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode the 8 bits are placed in triples into row 0, 1, and 2 as 3  
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 7.5.3 on page 24).  
In 1:4 multiplex drive mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples  
into row 0, 1, 2, and 3 as 2 successive 4-bit RAM words.

Fig 13. Relationships between LCD layout, drive mode, display RAM filling order, and display data transmitted over the I2C-bus  
 
PCA85232  
NXP Semiconductors  
LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
7.5.1 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 7 on page 7 and Table 8 on  
page 7). 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 is terminated early, then the state of the data pointer is  
unknown. The data pointer should be re-written before further RAM accesses.  
7.5.2 Subaddress counter  
The storage of display data is conditioned by the content of the subaddress counter.  
Storage is allowed only when the content of the subaddress counter matches with the  
hardware subaddress applied to A0 and A1. The subaddress counter value is defined by  
the device-select command (see Table 9 on page 7). 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 PCA85232 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.  
7.5.3 RAM writing in 1:3 multiplex drive mode  
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode, the RAM is written as shown in Table 16 (see Figure 13 as  
well).

In the case described in Table 17 the RAM has to be written entirely and BP2/S2, BP2/S5,  
BP2/S8, and so on, 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 7.1.2 on page 7) 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.  
7.5.4 Bank selection  
7.5.4.1 Output bank selector  
The output bank selector (see Table 10 on page 7) 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

7.5.4.2 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.  
7.5.4.3 RAM bank switching  
The PCA85232 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.

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.  
By connecting pin SDAACK to pin SDA on the PCA85232, the SDA line becomes fully  
I2C-bus compatible. In COG applications where the track resistance from the SDAACK  
pin to the system SDA line can be significant, possibly a voltage divider is generated by  
the bus pull-up resistor and the Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) track resistance. As a  
consequence, it may be possible that the acknowledge generated by the PCA85232  
cannot be interpreted as logic 0 by the master. In COG applications where the  
acknowledge cycle is required, it is therefore necessary to minimize the track resistance  
from the SDAACK pin to the system SDA line to guarantee a valid LOW level (see  
Section 14.2 on page 42).  
By separating the acknowledge output from the serial data line (having the SDAACK open  
circuit) design efforts to generate a valid acknowledge level can be avoided. However, in  
that case the I2C-bus master has to be set up in such a way that it ignores the  
acknowledge cycle.2  
The following definition assumes that SDA and SDAACK are connected and refers to the  
pair as SDA.  
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  
are interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 17).

8.1.1 START and STOP conditions  
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW change  
of the data line, while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START condition (S).  
A LOW-to-HIGH change of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP  
condition (P). The START and STOP conditions are shown in Figure 18.

8.2 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.

8.3 Acknowledge  
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from  
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of 8 bits is followed by an acknowledge  
cycle.  
A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the  
reception of each byte.  
Also 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 considered).  
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 shown in Figure 20.

8.4 I2C-bus controller  
The PCA85232 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 PCA85232 is  
the acknowledge signal. 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 and A1 are normally tied  
to VSS which defines the hardware subaddress 0. In multiple device applications  
A0 and A1 are tied to VSS or VDD in accordance with a binary coding scheme. No two  
devices with a common I2C-bus slave address must have the same hardware  
subaddress.  
8.5 Input filters  
To enhance noise immunity in electrical adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are  
provided on the SDA and SCL lines.  
8.6 I2C-bus protocol  
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (0111 000 and 0111 001) are reserved for the  
PCA85232.The entire I2C-bus slave address byte is shown in Table 18.

The PCA85232 is a write-only device and does not respond to a read access, therefore  
bit 0 should always be logic 0. Bit 1 of the slave address byte, that a PCA85232 responds  
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 8 PCA85232 on the same I2C-bus for very large LCD applications

LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
The use of two types of LCD multiplex drive modes on the same I2C-bus  
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 two possible PCA85232  
slave addresses available. All PCA85232 with the corresponding SA0 level acknowledge  
in parallel to the slave address, but all PCA85232 with the alternative SA0 level ignore the  
whole I2C-bus transfer.

LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
In this way, it is possible to configure the device and then fill the display RAM with little  
overhead.  
The command bytes and control bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed  
PCA85232 connected to the bus.  
The display bytes are stored in the display RAM at the address specified by the data  
pointer and the subaddress counter; see Section 7.5.1 and Section 7.5.2.  
The acknowledgement after each byte is made only by the (A0 and A1) addressed  
PCA85232. After the last (display) byte, the I2C-bus master issues a STOP condition (P).  
Alternatively a repeated 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  
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.  
Semiconductors are light sensitive. Exposure to light sources can cause the IC to  
malfunction. The IC must be protected against light. The protection must be applied to all  
sides of the IC.

According to the I2C-bus specification the rise time (tr) is defined between the VDD-related  
input threshold of VIL = 0.3VDD and VIH = 0.7VDD. The value for tr(max) is 300 ns.  
tr is calculated with Equation 7:  
tr = t2 t1  
(7)  
whereas t1 and t2 are the time since the charging started. The values for t1 and t2 are  
derivatives of the functions V(t1) and V(t2):

The supply voltage limits the minimum value of resistor RPU due to the specified minimum  
sink current (see value of IOL on pin SDAACK in Table 21 on page 35). RPU(min) as a  
function of VDD is calculated with Equation 14:

14.2 ITO track resistance  
If an application requires to have a low VDD supply voltage compared to the VLCD supply  
voltage, it is recommended to increase the ITO resistance on the VLCD supply track in  
order to reduce the noise induced on the VSS line when display is enabled. A low VDD  
voltage supply and noise peaks on VSS induced by display activities may introduce  
disturbances into the I2C communication with the microcontroller.  
Figure 32 shows that, when the ITO resistance of the VSS pin has a certain value, it is  
indicated to have a higher ITO resistance on the VLCD track, especially if VLCD (for  
example, 9 V) is sharply higher than VDD (for example, 1.8 V). With a higher ITO  
resistance on the VLCD track, the noise spikes induced to the VSS of the PCA85232 are  
getting smaller and the functionality is less affected.

14.4 Cascaded operation  
In large display configurations, up to 8 PCA85232 can be distinguished on the same  
I2C-bus by using the 2-bit hardware subaddress (A0 and A1) and the programmable  
I2C-bus slave address (SA0).

When cascaded PCA85232 are synchronized, they can share the backplane signals from  
one of the devices in the cascade. Such an arrangement is cost-effective in large LCD  
applications since the backplane outputs of only one device need to be through-plated to  
the backplane electrodes of the display. The other PCA85232 of the cascade contributes  
additional segment outputs.The backplanes can be left open-circuit (as shown in the  
examples of Figure 34 and Figure 35) or tied together to give enhanced drive capabilities  
(see Section 7.4.1 on page 21).  
For display sizes that are not multiple of 640 elements, a mixed cascaded system can be  
considered containing only devices like PCA85232 and PCA85133. Depending on the  
application, one must take care of the software commands compatibility and pin  
connection compatibility.  
The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded  
PCA85232. This synchronization is guaranteed after the Power-On Reset (POR). The  
only time that SYNC is likely to be needed is if synchronization is accidentally lost (for  
example, by noise in adverse electrical environments, or by the definition of a multiplex  
mode when PCA85232 with different SA0 levels are cascaded). SYNC is organized as an  
input/output pin; the output selection being realized as an open-drain driver with an  
internal pull-up resistor. A PCA85232 asserts the SYNC line at the onset of its last active  
PCA85232

PCA85232  
NXP Semiconductors  
LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
backplane signal and monitors the SYNC line at all other times. Should synchronization in  
the cascade be lost, it is restored by the first PCA85232 to assert SYNC. The timing  
relationship between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal for the various drive  
modes of the PCA85232 are shown in Figure 36 on page 48.  
When using an external clock signal with high frequencies (fclk(ext) > 4 kHz), it is  
recommended to have an external pull-up resistor between pin SYNC and pin VDD (see  
Table 22 on page 38). This resistor should be present even when no cascading  
configuration is used! When using it in a cascaded configuration, care must be taken not  
to route the SYNC signal to close to noisy signals.  
The contact resistance between the SYNC pads of cascaded devices must be controlled.  
If the resistance is too high, the device is not able to synchronize properly. This is  
particularly applicable to COG applications. Table 24 shows the limiting values for contact  
resistance.

In the cascaded applications, the OSC pin of the PCA85232 with subaddress 0 is  
connected to VSS so that this device uses its internal clock to generate a clock signal at  
the CLK pin. The other PCA85232 devices are having the OSC pin connected to VDD  
,
meaning that these devices are ready to receive external clock, the signal being provided  
by the device with subaddress 0.  
If the master is providing the clock signal to the slave devices, care must be taken that the  
sending of display enable or disable is received by both, the master and the slaves at the  
same time. When the display is disabled, the output from pin CLK is disabled too. The  
disconnection of the clock may result in a DC component for the display.  
Alternatively, the schematic can be also constructed such that all the devices have OSC  
pin connected to VDD and thus an external CLK being provided for the system (all devices  
connected to the same external CLK).  
A configuration where SYNC is connected but all PCA85232 are using their internal clock  
(OSC pin tied to VSS) should not be used and may lead to display artifacts!
