Preliminary Version 1.0
128x64Driver for Dot Matrix LCD
1. General Description
The RA8808 is a LCD driver LSI with 128(Segment) x 64(Common) driver output for dot matrix liquid crystal
graphic display systems. This device consists of the display RAM,128-bit segment drivers, 64-bit common
drivers and decoder logic. It has the internal display RAM for storing the display data transferred from an 8-
bit 8080/6800 micro controller or 3-wire-SPI/IIC controller and generates the dot matrix liquid crystal driving
signals corresponding to stored data.
2. Features
Dot matrix LCD segment driver with 128
channel output, and common driver with 64
channel output.
Internal timing generator circuit for dynamic
display.
Selection of master/slave mode for combine
two RA8808 controller to support 256x64 dot
Matrix.
Applicable LCD common duty: 1/48, 1/64.
Support 6800/8080 8-bit parallel MPU interface.
Support 3-wires SPI and IIC serial MPU
interface.
Two 512 bytes (4096-bits) Display RAM
LCD driving voltage: 8V ~17V
Built-in 2X~4X Voltage Booster and Voltage
Follower
Power supply voltage: +2.7V ~ 5.5V
High voltage CMOS process
Bare gold bump chip available

In Parallel Mode :
Read-Write Control or Write Control
When use 6800 series interface, this pin is used as data read/write control.
Active high for read and active low for write.
When use 8080 series interface, this pin is used as data write, active low.
In Serial Mode :

In Serial Mode :
This pin is not used and must be connected to low.
In Parallel Mode :
Chip selection for left side (Note 1)
In order to interface left side data for input or output, the terminals have to be
CS1 = H, CS2B = L.
In Serial Mode :
These pins are not used and must be connected to high or low.
In Parallel Mode :
Chip selection for right side (Note 1)
In order to interface right side data for input or output, the terminals have to
be
CS3 = H, CS4B = L.
In Serial Mode :
These pins are not used and must be connected to to high or low.
Reset Signal
When RSTB = L,
_ON/OFF register becomes set by 0. (display off)
_Display start line register becomes set by 0.(Z-address 0 set, display from
line 0)
After releasing reset, this condition can be changed only by instruction.
