Philips Semiconductors
LCD controller/driver
Product specification
PCF2105
1 FEATURES
• Single chip Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) controller/driver
• 1 or 2-line display of up to 24 characters per line, or
2 or 4-line display of up to 12 characters per line
• 5 × 7 character format plus cursor; 5 × 8 for kana
(Japanese syllabary) and user-defined symbols
• On-chip generation of intermediate LCD bias voltages
• On-chip oscillator requires no external components
(external clock also possible)
• Display data RAM: 80 characters
• Character generator ROM: 240 characters
• Character generator RAM: 16 characters
• 4 or 8-bit parallel bus or 2-wire I2C-bus interface
(400 kHz)
• CMOS and TTL compatible
• 32 row, 60 column outputs
• Multiplex (MUX) rates 1 : 32 and 1 : 16
• Uses common 11-code instruction set
• Logic supply voltage range: VDD − VSS = 2.5 to 6 V
• Display supply voltage range: VDD − VLCD = 3.5 to 9 V
• Low power consumption
• I2C-bus address selection (SA0): 011101.
Furthermore, a fast I2C-bus interface (400 kHz) is
provided.
The PCF2105 is optimized for chip-on-glass applications.
A specific letter code ‘M’ for a character set is programmed
in the Character Generator ROM (CGROM) (see Fig.5).
The PCF2105 is a low power CMOS LCD controller/driver,
designed to drive a split screen dot matrix LCD of
1 or 2 lines by 24 characters or 2 or 4 lines by
12 characters with a 5 × 8 dot format. All necessary
functions for the display are provided in a single chip,
including on-chip generation of LCD bias voltages which
results in a minimum of external components and lower
system power consumption. To allow partial VDD shutdown
the ESD protection system of the SCL and SDA pads does
not use a diode connected to VDD.
The chip contains a character generator and displays
alphanumeric and kana characters. The PCF2105
interfaces to most microcontrollers via a 4 or 8-bit parallel
bus, or via the 2-wire I2C-bus.
2 APPLICATIONS
• Telecom equipment
• Portable instruments
• Point-of-sale terminals.
3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PCF2105 integrated circuit is similar to the PCF2114x
(described in the “PCF2116 family” data sheet) but does
not contain the high voltage generator of that device.
