HD66710 Datasheet | Hitachi Semiconductor

Description The HD66710 dot-matrix liquid crystal display controller and driver LSI displays alphanumerics, numbers, and symbols. It can be configured to drive a dot-matrix liquid crystal display under the control of a 4- or 8-bit microprocessor. Since all the functions such as display RAM, character generator, and liquid crystal driver, required for driving a dot-matrix liquid crystal display are internally provided on one chip, a minimum system can be interfaced with this controller/driver. A single HD66710 is capable of displaying a single16-character line, two 16-character lines, or up to four 8-character lines. The HD66710 software is upwardly patible with the LCD-II (HD44780) which allows the user to easily replace an LCD-II with an HD66710. In addition, the HD66710 is equipped with functions such as segment displays for icon marks, a 4-line display mode, and a horizontal smooth scroll, and thus supports various display forms. This achieves various display forms. The HD66710 character generator ROM is extended to generate 240 5 × 8 dot characters. The low voltage version (2.7V) of the HD66710, bined with a low power mode, is suitable for any portable battery-driven product requiring low power dissipation. Features - 5 × 8 dot matrix possible - Low power operation support:  2.7V to 5.5V (low voltage) - Booster for liquid crystal voltage  Two/three times (13V max.) - Wide range of liquid crystal display driver voltage  3.0V to 13V - Extension driver interface - High-speed MPU bus interface (2 MHz at 5-V operation) - 4-bit or 8-bit MPU interface capability - 80 × 8-bit display RAM (80 characters max.) - 9,600-bit character generator ROM  240 characters (5 × 8 dot) - 64 × 8-bit character generator RAM  8 characters (5 × 8 dot) - 8 × 8-bit segment RAM  40-segment icon mark - 33-mon × 40-segment liquid crystal display driver - Programmable duty cycle (See List 1) - Wide range of instruction functions:  Functions patible with LCD-II: Display...
