PCA85233  
Automotive 80 × 4 LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
Rev. 4 — 6 May 2015  
Product data sheet  
1. General description  
The PCA85233 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 80 segments and can easily  
be cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCA85233 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 28 on page 46.

7.2 Clock and frame frequency  
7.2.1 Oscillator  
The internal logic and the LCD drive signals of the PCA85233 are timed by a frequency  
fclk which either is derived from the built-in oscillator frequency fosc:

or equals an external clock frequency fclk(ext)  
fclk = fclkext  
7.2.1.1 Internal clock  
:
(2)  
The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting pin OSC to VSS. In this case the output  
from pin CLK provides the clock signal for any cascaded PCA85233 in the system.  
7.2.1.2 External clock  
Connecting pin OSC to VDD enables an external clock source. Pin CLK then becomes the  
external clock input.  
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.  
7.2.2 Frame frequency  
The clock frequency fclk determines the LCD frame frequency ffr and is calculated as  
follows:  
fclk  
ffr  
=
(3)  
-------  
24  
The internal clock frequency fclk can be selected using pin FF. As a result 2 frame  
frequencies are available: 150 Hz or 220 Hz (typical), see Table 11.

[1] FF has no effect when an external clock is used but must not be left floating.  
The timing of the PCA85233 organizes 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 synchronization signal (SYNC) maintains the correct timing  
relationship between all the PCA85233 in the system.  
7.2.3 Blinking  
The display blink capabilities of the PCA85233 are very versatile. The whole display can  
blink at frequencies selected by the blink-select command (see Table 10). The blink  
frequencies are derived from the clock frequency. The ratios between the clock and blink  
frequencies depend on the blink mode selected (see Table 12).

An additional feature is for an arbitrary selection of LCD segments 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 alternate RAM bank is available, groups of  
LCD segments can blink by selectively changing the display RAM data at fixed time  
intervals.  
If the entire display can blink at a frequency other then the typical 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 6).  
7.3 Display RAM  
The display RAM is a static 80 4 bit RAM which stores LCD data.  
There is a one-to-one correspondence between  
the bits in the RAM bitmap and the LCD segments/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 bit map, Figure 4, shows rows 0 to 3 which correspond with the  
backplane outputs BP0 to BP3, and columns 0 to 79 which correspond with the segment  
outputs S0 to S79. 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 addresses and  
the segment outputs and between the bits in a RAM word and the backplane outputs.  
Fig 4. Display RAM bitmap  
When display data is transmitted to the PCA85233, 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 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 5; the RAM filling organization depicted  
applies equally to other LCD types.  
The following applies to Figure 5:  
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 four successive 2-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 7.3.3).  
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.

Fig 5. Relationships between LCD layout, drive mode, display RAM filling order, and display data transmitted over the I2C-bus  
 
PCA85233  
NXP Semiconductors  
Automotive 80 × 4 LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
7.3.1 Data pointer  
The addressing mechanism for the display RAM is realized using a 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). 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 5. 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.  
Consequently, the data pointer must be rewritten prior to further RAM accesses.  
7.3.2 Subaddress counter  
The storage of display data is determined by the content of the subaddress counter.  
Storage is allowed only when the content of the subaddress counter match with the  
hardware subaddress applied to A0 and A1. The subaddress counter value is defined by  
the device-select command (see Table 8). 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 PCA85233 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 whilst the device is being accessed on  
the I2C-bus interface.  
7.3.3 RAM writing in 1:3 multiplex drive mode  
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode, the RAM is written as shown in Table 13 (see Figure 5 as  
well).

In the case described in Table 14 the RAM has to be written entirely and BP2/S2, BP2/S5,  
BP2/S8 etc. have to be connected to segments/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.  
In the second write, bits b7 to b0 are written, overwriting bits a1 and a0 with bits b7  
and b6.  
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 segments/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.  
7.3.4 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 PCA85233 is part of a cascade the  
additional bits fall into the next device that also generates the acknowledge signal. If the  
PCA85233 is a single device or the last device in a cascade the additional bits will be  
discarded and no acknowledge signal will be generated.  
7.3.5 Output bank selector  
The output bank selector (see Table 9) selects one of the four rows per display RAM  
address for transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the  
selected 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, these are followed by  
the contents of row 1, 2, and then 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  
The PCA85233 includes a RAM bank switching feature in the static and 1:2 multiplex  
drive modes. 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

PCA85233  
NXP Semiconductors  
Automotive 80 × 4 LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
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.  
7.3.6 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 in row 2 in static drive mode  
or in rows 2 and 3 in 1:2 multiplex drive mode by using the bank-select command (see  
Table 9). The input bank selector functions independently to the output bank selector.  
7.4 Initialization  
At power-on the status of the I2C-bus and the registers of the PCA85233 is undefined.  
Therefore the PCA85233 should be initialized as quickly as possible after power-on to  
ensure a proper bus communication and to avoid display artifacts. The following  
instructions should be accomplished for initialization:  
I2C-bus (see Section 8) initialization  
generating a START condition  
sending 0h and ignoring the acknowledge  
generating a STOP condition  
Mode-set command (see Table 6), setting  
bit E = 0  
bit B to the required LCD bias configuration  
bits M[1:0] to the required LCD drive mode  
Load-data-pointer command (see Table 7), setting  
bits P[6:0] to 0h (or any other required address)  
Device-select command (see Table 8), setting  
bits A[1:0] to the required hardware subaddress (for example, 0h)  
Bank-select command (see Table 9), setting  
bit I to 0  
bit O to 0  
Blink-select command (see Table 10), setting  
bit AB to 0 or 1  
bits BF[1:0] to 00 (or to a desired blinking mode)  
writing meaningful information (for example, a logo) into the display RAM  
After the initialization, the display can be switched on by setting bit E = 1 with the  
mode-set command.  
7.5 Possible display configurations  
The PCA85233 is a versatile peripheral device designed to interface between any  
microcontroller to a wide variety of LCD segment or dot matrix displays (see Figure 6). It  
can directly drive any static or multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to  
80 segments.

Fig 7. Typical system configuration  
The host microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication channel with the  
PCA85233. 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.  
7.6 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.  
7.7 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 16.  
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.

Automotive 80 × 4 LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
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  
a = 2 for 13 bias  
The RMS on-state voltage (Von(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 4:

The RMS off-state voltage (Voff(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 5:

Using Equation 6, the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:3 multiplex with

12 bias is ---------- = 1.528 .

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

7.7.1 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 8. For a good contrast performance, the following rules should be followed:  
V
V
onRMSVthon  
offRMSVthoff  
(7)  
(8)  
V
on(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are properties of the display driver and are affected by the selection  
of a, n (see Equation 4 to Equation 6) 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  
.
It is important to match the module properties to those of the driver in order to achieve  
optimum performance.

7.9 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, respectively, BP1 and BP3 carry the same  
signals and can 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.  
7.10 Segment outputs  
The LCD drive section includes 80 segment outputs (S0 to S79) which must 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 80 segment outputs are required the unused segment outputs must be left  
open-circuit.

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 PCA85233, 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 PCA85233 can’t  
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.  
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 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  
will be interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 14).

8.2 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).

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 16.

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 shown in Figure 17.

8.5 I2C-bus controller  
The PCA85233 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 PCA85233 are  
the acknowledge signals from 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 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 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  
PCA85233. The entire I2C-bus slave address byte is shown in Table 17.

The PCA85233 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 PCA85233 will respond to,  
is defined by the level tied to its SA0 input (VSS for logic 0 and VDD for logic 1).

The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Figure 18. The sequence is initiated with a START  
condition (S) from the I2C-bus master which is followed by one of the available PCA85233  
slave addresses. All PCA85233 with the same SA0 level acknowledge in parallel to the  
slave address. All PCA85233 with the alternative SA0 level ignore the whole I2C-bus  
transfer.

After acknowledgement, the control byte is sent, defining if the next byte is a RAM or  
command information. The control byte also defines if the next byte is a control byte or  
further RAM or command data (see Figure 19 and Table 18). 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  
PCA85233 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. Both data pointer and subaddress counter are  
automatically updated.  
The acknowledgement after each byte is made only by the (A0 and A1) addressed  
PCA85233. After the last display byte, the I2C-bus master issues a STOP condition (P).  
Alternatively 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  
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.

14.1 Cascaded operation  
In large display configurations up to 8 PCA85233 can be recognized 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 PCA85233 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 PCA85233 of the cascade contribute  
additional segment outputs. The backplanes can either be connected together to enhance  
the drive capability or some can be left open-circuit (such as the ones from the slave in  
Figure 25) or just some of the master and some of the slave will be taken to facilitate the  
layout of the display.

PCA85233  
NXP Semiconductors  
Automotive 80 × 4 LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
For display sizes that are not multiple of 320 segments/elements, a mixed cascaded  
system can be considered containing only devices like PCA85233 and PCA85132.  
Depending on the application, one must take care of the software command and pin  
connection compatibility.  
Only one master but multiple slaves are allowed in a cascade. All devices in the cascade  
have to use the same clock whether it is supplied externally or provided by the master.  
The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded  
PCA85233. 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 the definition of a  
multiplex drive mode when PCA85233 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 PCA85233 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 PCA85233 to assert  
SYNC. The timing relationships between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal  
for the various drive modes of the PCA85233 are shown in Figure 26.

Automotive 80 × 4 LCD driver for low multiplex rates  
The contact resistance between the SYNC pins of cascaded devices must be controlled. If  
the resistance is too high, then the device will not be able to synchronize properly. This is  
particularly applicable to COG applications.
