GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PCF1179C
The PCF1179C is a single chip, 4.19 MHz CMOS car clock
circuit providing hours, minutes and seconds functions.
It is designed to drive a 4-digit duplex liquid crystal display
(LCD).
Two external single-pole, single-throw switches will
accomplish all time setting functions. Time calibration and
voltage regulator are electrically programmable via an
on-chip EEPROM. The circuit is battery-operated via an
internal voltage regulator and an external resistor.

LCD voltage
(see Fig.5)
The adjustable voltage regulator controls the supply
voltage (see Section “LCD voltage programming”) in
relation to temperature for good contrast, for example
when V
DD
= 4.5 V at +25
°C,
then:
V
DD
= 3 to 4 V at +85
°C.
V
DD
= 5 to 6 V at
−40 °C.
