PCF8576D
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
Rev. 13 — 10 May 2012
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCF8576D 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 PCF8576D is compatible with most
microcontrollers and communicates via the two-line bidirectional I
2
C-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).

PCF8576DT/2 should not be used for new design-ins. Replacement part is
PCF85176T/1 for industrial applications
•
PCF8576DT/S400/2 should not be used for new design-ins. Replacement part is
PCA85176T/Q900/1 for automotive applications
