(Japanese) and user defined symbols
•
Icon mode: reduced current consumption while
displaying icons only
•
Icon blink function
•
On-chip:
– Configurable 4 (3 and 2) times voltage multiplier
generating LCD supply voltage, independent of V
DD
,
programmable by instruction (external supply also
possible)
– Temperature compensation of on-chip generated
V

instruction)
– Generation of intermediate LCD bias voltages
– Oscillator requires no external components (external
clock also possible).

•
Direct mode to save current consumption for icon mode
and Mux 1 : 9 (depending on V

value and LCD liquid
properties)
•
Very low current consumption (20 to 200
µA):
– Icon mode: <25
µA
– Power-down mode: <2
µA.
1.1
Note
Icon mode is used to save current. When only icons are
displayed, a much lower operating voltage V
LCD
can be
used and the switching frequency of the LCD outputs is
reduced. In most applications it is possible to use V
DD
as
V

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PCF2119x is a low power CMOS LCD controller and
driver, designed to drive a dot matrix LCD display of 2-line
by 16 or 1-line by 32 characters with 5
×
8 dot format. All
necessary functions for the display are provided in a single
chip, including on-chip generation of LCD bias voltages,
resulting in a minimum of external components and lower
system current consumption. The PCF2119x interfaces to
most microcontrollers via a 4 or 8-bit bus or via the 2-wire
I
2
C-bus. The chip contains a character generator and
displays alphanumeric and kana (Japanese) characters.
The letter ‘x’ in PCF2119x characterizes the built-in
character set. Various character sets can be manufactured
on request.
