GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML9471 is a LCD driver for dynamic display providing 3-duty-switchable pins (1/3, 1/4, 1/5 duty). It can
directly drive LCDs of up to 400, 320 and 240 segments when 1/5, 1/4 and 1/3 duty are selected respectively.

1/4 duty
: Up to 320 segments can be displayed.
1/3 duty
: Up to 240 segments can be displayed.
• Serial transfer clock frequency
: 4 MHz
• Serical interface with CPU
:Through three input pins (DATA_IN, LOAD, and CLOCK)
• Built-in oscillator circuit for COMMON signals
• One-to-one correspondence between input data and output data
When input data is at “H” level
: Display goes on.
When input data is at “L” level
: Display goes off.
• The entire display can be turned off. (BLANK pin)

Description
Pins for oscillation. The oscillator circuit is configured by externally connecting two
resistors and a capacitor. Make the wiring length as short as possible, because
the resistor connected to the OSC_IN pin has a higher value and the circuit is
susceptible to external noise.
Serial data input pin. The display goes on when input data is at a “H” level, and it
goes off when input data is at “L” level.
Shift clock input pin. Data from the DATA_IN pin is transferred in synchronization
with the rising edge of the shift clock.
Load signal input pin. Serially input data is transferred to the 80-bit latch at “H”
level of this load signal, then held at “L” level.
Input pin that turns off all segments. The entire display goes off when “L” level is
applied to this pin. The display returns to the previous state when “H” level is
applied.
Input pins to select 1/3, 1/4, or 1/5 duty. Following shows how each duty is
selected.

Display output pins for LCD. These pins are connected to the COMMON side of
the LCD panel.
Display output pins for LCD. Theses pins are connected to the SEGMENT side of
the LCD panel. For the correspondence between the output of these pins and
input data, see the “Data Structure” Section.
Bias pins for LCD driver. Through these pins, bias voltages for the LCD are
externally supplied. The bias potential must meet the following condition:
