Segment-type LCD driver
BU9729K
The BU9729K is a driver for segmented liquid crystal displays, which enables connection with a microcomputer
through a serial interface. 4-bit common output and an internal power supply circuit for LCD drive make it possible to
configure a low-cost display system.

Function
These are the I / O pins for the internal oscillator.
Resistance should be connected between the pins when the internal clock is operating.
When an external clock is operating, input should be done from OSC1, and OSC2 should be left open.
This is the V
SS
pin.
This is the power supply pin for LCD drive.

This is the V

pin.
This is the shift lock input pin for serial data.
The contents of the SD pin are read one bit at a time at the rising edge of this pin.
This is the serial data input pin.

Display data and commands are input here.
When this is
“

, display data is not displayed, and when
“

, the data is displayed.
This is the chip select signal input pin.
CS
9
I
When this is LOW, SD input can be received.
The SCK counter is incremented at the timing at which CS goes from HIGH to LOW.
This is the signal input which recognizes whether the SD input consists of commands or display data.
C/D
10
I
When the SCK of the eighth clock rises, this pin judges the input to be display data if the
level is LOW, and a command if the level is HIGH.
