PCA85176
40 x 4 automotive LCD driver for low multiplex rates
Rev. 6 — 7 April 2015
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA85176 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 PCA85176 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).
For a selection of NXP LCD segment drivers, see
Table 24 on page 51.
