PCF8576C

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates

Rev. 13 — 16 December 2013

Product data sheet

1. General description

The PCF8576C is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal

Display (LCD)¹with low multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or

multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 40 segments and can easily

be cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCF8576C 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 and by

hardware subaddressing.

For a selection of NXP LCD segment drivers, see Table 24 on page 52.

Fig 6. Typical system configuration

The host microprocessor or microcontroller maintains the 2-line I²C-bus communication

channel with the PCF8576C.

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 V_SS. The only other connections required to complete the system are the

power supplies (pins V_DD, V_SS, and V_LCD) and the LCD panel selected for the application.

7.1 Power-On-Reset (POR)

At power-on the PCF8576C resets to the following starting conditions:

• All backplane and segment outputs are set to V_DD

• The selected drive mode is 1:4 multiplex with ¹⁄₃bias

• 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

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.

7.2 LCD bias generator

The full-scale LCD voltage (V_oper) is obtained from V_DD V_LCD. The LCD voltage may be

temperature compensated externally through the V_LCDsupply to pin V_LCD

.

Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider comprising

three series resistors connected between V_DDand V_LCD. The center resistor can be

switched out of the circuit to provide a ¹⁄₂bias voltage level for the 1:2 multiplex

configuration.

7.3 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

_LCDand the resulting discrimination ratios (D) are given in Table 6.

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 V_LCDis determined by equating V_off(RMS)with a defined LCD

threshold voltage (V_th), typically when the LCD exhibits approximately 10 % contrast. In

the static drive mode, a suitable choice is V_LCD> 3V_th.

Multiplex drive modes of 1:3 and 1:4 with ¹⁄₂bias are possible but the discrimination and

hence the contrast ratios are smaller.

Bias is calculated by ------------ , where the values for a are

a = 1 for ¹⁄₂bias

a = 2 for ¹⁄₃bias

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

21

¹⁄₂bias is ---------- = 1.528 .

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

as follows:

• 1:3 multiplex (¹⁄₂bias): V_LCD

• 1:4 multiplex (¹⁄₂bias): V_LCD

V

7.3.1 Electro-optical performance

Suitable values for V_on(RMS)and V_off(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 V_th(off)) and the other at 90 % relative transmission (at V_th(on)), see

Figure 7. For a good contrast performance, the following rules should be followed:

V

_onRMS V_thon

_offRMS V_thoff

(4)

(5)

V

_on(RMS)and V_off(RMS)are properties of the display driver and are affected by the selection

of a (see Equation 1), n (see Equation 3), and the V_LCDvoltage.

V_th(off)and V_th(on)are properties of the LCD liquid and can be provided by the module

manufacturer. V_th(off)is sometimes named V_th. V_th(on)is sometimes named saturation

voltage V_sat

.

It is important to match the module properties to those of the driver in order to achieve

optimum performance.

PCF8576C

NXP Semiconductors

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates

7.5 Oscillator

The internal logic and the LCD drive signals of the PCF8576C are timed by the frequency

f_clk, which equals either the built-in oscillator frequency f_oscor the external clock frequency

f_clk(ext)

.

The clock frequency (f_clk) determines the LCD frame frequency (f_fr) and the maximum rate

for data reception from the I²C-bus. To allow I²C-bus transmissions at their maximum data

rate of 100 kHz, f_clkshould be chosen to be above 125 kHz.

7.5.1 Internal clock

The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting pin OSC to pin V_SS. In this case, the

output from pin CLK is the clock signal for any cascaded PCF8576C in the system.

7.5.2 External clock

Connecting pin OSC to V_DDenables 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,

freezes the LCD in a DC state, which is not suitable for the liquid crystal.

7.6 Timing

The timing of the PCF8576C sequences 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 the PCF8576Cs in the system. The timing also generates the LCD

frame frequency which is derived as an integer division of the clock frequency (see

Table 7). The frame frequency is set by the mode-set command (see Table 10) when an

internal clock is used or by the frequency applied to the pin CLK when an external clock is

used.

Table 7.

[1] The possible values for f_clksee Table 17.

[2] For f_clk= 200 kHz.

[3] For f_clk= 31 kHz.

The ratio between the clock frequency and the LCD frame frequency depends on the

power mode in which the device is operating. In the power-saving mode, the reduction

ratio is six times smaller; this allows the clock frequency to be reduced by a factor of six.

The reduced clock frequency results in a significant reduction in power consumption.

PCF8576C

NXP Semiconductors

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates

The lower clock frequency has the disadvantage of increasing the response time when

large amounts of display data are transmitted on the I²C-bus. When a device is unable to

process a display data byte before the next one arrives, it holds the SCL line LOW until

the first display data byte is stored. This slows down the transmission rate of the I²C-bus

but no data loss occurs.

7.7 Display register

The display register holds the display data while the corresponding multiplex signals are

generated.

7.8 Shift register

The shift register transfers display information from the display RAM to the display register

while previous data is displayed.

7.9 Segment outputs

The LCD drive section includes 40 segment outputs, S0 to S39, which must be connected

directly to the LCD. The segment output signals are generated based on 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.

7.10 Backplane outputs

The LCD drive section includes four backplane outputs: BP0 to BP3. The backplane

output signals are generated based on the selected LCD drive mode.

• In 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 as an

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 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.

7.11 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.

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 13. Display RAM bit map

When display data is transmitted to the PCF8576C, 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 does not wait for an 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 14; the RAM filling organization depicted

applies equally to other LCD types.

The following applies to Figure 14:

• In the static drive mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0 of eight

successive 4-bit RAM words.

• In the 1:2 multiplex mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into

row 0 and 1 of four successive 4-bit RAM words.

• In the 1:3 multiplex mode, the eight bits are placed in triples into row 0, 1, and 2 to

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.

• In the 1:4 multiplex mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples into

row 0, 1, 2, and 3 of two successive 4-bit RAM words.

7.12 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 11). After this, the data byte is

stored starting at the display RAM address indicated by the data pointer (see Figure 14).

Once each byte is stored, the data pointer is automatically incremented based on the

selected LCD configuration.

The contents of the data pointer are incremented as follows:

• 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, the state of the data pointer is unknown.

Consequently, the data pointer must be rewritten prior to further RAM accesses.

7.13 Sub-address counter

The storage of display data is conditioned by the contents of the subaddress counter.

Storage is allowed to take place only when the contents 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 12). If the contents of the subaddress

counter and the hardware subaddress do not match, then data storage is blocked but the

data pointer will be 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 PCF8576C 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.

7.14 Bank selector

7.14.1 Output bank selector

The output bank selector (see Table 13), selects one of the four rows per display RAM

address for transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the 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 sequentially

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 the static mode: row 0 is selected.

The PCF8576C 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 1:2 multiplex drive

mode, the contents of rows 2 and 3 may be selected instead of rows 0 and 1. This

enables preparation of display information in an alternative bank and the ability to switch

to it once it has been assembled.

7.14.2 Input bank selector

The input bank selector (see Table 13) loads display data into the display RAM based on

the selected LCD drive configuration. Using the bank-select command, display data can

be loaded in row 2 into static drive mode or in rows 2 and 3 into 1:2 multiplex drive mode.

The input bank selector functions independently of the output bank selector.

7.15 Blinking

The display blinking capabilities of the PCF8576C are very versatile. The whole display

can be blinked at frequencies selected by the blink-select command. The blinking

frequencies are integer fractions of the clock frequency; the ratios between the clock and

blinking frequencies depend on the mode in which the device is operating (see Table 8).

An additional feature is for an arbitrary selection of LCD segments to be blinked. This

applies to the static and 1:2 multiplex drive modes and can be implemented without any

communication overheads. Using the output bank selector, the displayed RAM banks are

exchanged with alternate RAM banks at the blinking frequency. This mode can also be

specified by the blink-select command (see Table 14).

LCD segments can be blinked by selectively changing the display RAM data at fixed time

intervals.

If the entire display must be blinked at a frequency other than the nominal blink frequency,

this can be done using the mode-set command to set and reset the display enable bit E at

the required rate (see Table 10).

7.16 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.

7.16.1 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. Changes in the data line at this time will

be interpreted as a control signal. Bit transfer is illustrated in Figure 15.

7.16.2 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). The START and STOP conditions are illustrated in Figure 16.

7.16.3 System configuration

A device generating a message is a transmitter and 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 illustrated in

Figure 17.

7.16.4 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 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 illustrated in Figure 18.

7.16.5 PCF8576C I²C-bus controller

The PCF8576C 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 PCF8576C are

the acknowledge signals of the selected devices. Device selection depends on the

I²C-bus slave address, the transferred command data and the hardware subaddress.

In single device application, the hardware subaddress inputs A0, A1, and A2 are normally

tied to V_SSwhich defines the hardware subaddress 0. In multiple device applications

A0, A1, and A2 are tied to V_SSor V_DDusing a binary coding scheme so that no two

devices with a common I²C-bus slave address have the same hardware subaddress.

In the power-saving mode, it is possible that the PCF8576C is not able to keep up with the

highest transmission rates when large amounts of display data are transmitted. If this

situation occurs, the PCF8576C forces the SCL line LOW until its internal operations are

completed. This is known as the clock synchronization feature of the I²C-bus and serves

to slow down fast transmitters. Data loss does not occur.

7.16.6 Input filter

To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are

provided on the SDA and SCL lines.

7.17 I²C-bus protocol

Two I²C-bus slave addresses (0111000 and 0111001) are reserved for the PCF8576C.

The least significant bit of the slave address that a PCF8576C responds to is defined by

the level tied at its input SA0. Therefore, two types of PCF8576C can be distinguished on

the same I²C-bus which allows:

• Up to 16 PCF8576Cs on the same I²C-bus for very large LCD applications.

• The use of two types of LCD multiplexes on the same I²C-bus.

The I²C-bus protocol is shown in Figure 19. The sequence is initiated with a START

condition (S) from the I²C-bus master which is followed by one of the two PCF8576C

slave addresses available. All PCF8576Cs with the corresponding SA0 level acknowledge

in parallel with the slave address but all PCF8576Cs with the alternative SA0 level ignore

the whole I²C-bus transfer.

After acknowledgement, one or more command bytes follow which define the status of the

addressed PCF8576Cs.

The last command byte is tagged with a cleared most significant bit, the continuation bit C.

The command bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed PCF8576Cs on the bus.

After the last command byte, a series of display data bytes may follow. These 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

and the data is directed to the intended PCF8576C device. The acknowledgement after

each byte is made only by the (A0, A1, and A2) addressed PCF8576C. After the last

display byte, the I²C-bus master issues a STOP condition (P).

7.18 Command decoder

The command decoder identifies command bytes that arrive on the I²C-bus. All available

commands carry a continuation bit C in the most significant bit position as shown in

Figure 20. When this bit is set logic 1, it indicates that the next byte of the transfer to arrive

will also represent a command. If this bit is set logic 0, it indicates that the command byte

is the last in the transfer. Further bytes will be regarded as display data.

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

(V_LCD) is on while the IC supply voltage (V_DD) is off, or vice versa. This may cause unwanted

display artifacts. To avoid such artifacts, V_LCDand V_DDmust 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.

13. Application information

13.1 Cascaded operation

In large display configurations, up to 16 PCF8576Cs 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).

Cascaded PCF8576Cs 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 must be through-plated to the

backplane electrodes of the display. The other PCF8576C of the cascade contribute

additional segment outputs. The backplanes can either be connected together to enhance

the drive capability, some can be left open-circuit (as shown in Figure 30) or just some of

one and some of the other device can be taken to facilitate the layout of the display.

Fig 30. Cascaded PCF8576C configuration

The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded

PCF8576Cs. This synchronization is guaranteed after the 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 the defining a multiplex mode when PCF8576Cs

with differing 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 PCF8576C asserts the SYNC line and

monitors the SYNC line at all other times. If synchronization in the cascade is lost, it is

restored by the first PCF8576C to assert SYNC. The timing relationship between the

backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal for the various drive modes of the PCF8576C

are shown in Figure 31.

Excessive capacitive coupling between SCL or CLK and SYNC causes erroneous synchronization.

If this is a problem, you can increase the capacitance of the SYNC line (e.g. by an external

capacitor between SYNC and V_DD.) Degradation of the positive edge of the SYNC pulse can be

countered by an external pull-up resistor.

18. 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”.

18.1 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.

18.2 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

18.3 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

18.4 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 39) 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 22 and 23

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 39.
