 PCF8576C
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
Rev. 09 -- 9 July 2009 Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCF8576C 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 and can easily be cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCF8576C is compatible with most microprocessors or microcontrollers and communicates via a two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Communication overheads are minimized by a display RAM with auto-incremented addressing, by hardware subaddressing.

7. Functional description
The PCF8576C is a versatile peripheral device designed to interface any microprocessor or microcontroller to a wide variety of LCDs. It can directly drive any static or multiplexed LCD containing up to 4 backplanes and up to 40 segments. The display configurations possible with the PCF8576C depend on the number of active backplane outputs required. Display configuration selection is shown in Table 4. All of the display configurations given in Table 4 can be implemented in the typical system shown in Figure 6.

Typical system configuration
The host microprocessor or microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication channel with the PCF8576C. Biasing voltages for the multiplexed LCD waveforms are generated internally, removing the need for an external bias generator. The internal oscillator is selected by connecting pin OSC to VSS. The only other connections required to complete the system are the power supplies (pins VDD, VSS and VLCD) and the LCD panel selected for the application.
7.1 Power-on-reset
At power-on the PCF8576C resets to the following starting conditions:
* * * *

* The I2C-bus interface is initialized * The data pointer and the subaddress counter are cleared
Remark: Do not transfer data on the I2C-bus for at least 1 ms after a power-on to allow the reset action to complete.
7.2 LCD bias generator
The full-scale LCD voltage (Voper) is obtained from VDD - VLCD. The LCD voltage may be temperature compensated externally through the VLCD supply to pin VLCD. Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider comprising three series resistors connected between VDD and VLCD. The center resistor can be switched out of the circuit to provide a 12 bias voltage level for the 1:2 multiplex configuration.
7.3 LCD voltage selector
The LCD voltage selector coordinates the multiplexing of the LCD in accordance with the selected LCD drive configuration. The operation of the voltage selector is controlled by the mode-set command from the command decoder. The biasing configurations that apply to the preferred modes of operation, together with the biasing characteristics as functions of VLCD and the resulting discrimination ratios (D), are given in Table 5.
Table 5. LCD drive mode static Preferred LCD drive modes: summary of characteristics LCD bias V on ( RMS ) V off ( RMS ) V on ( RMS ) -------------------------- ------------------------ D = -------------------------V LCD V off ( RMS ) Backplanes Bias levels configuration V LCD 1 2 3 4 4 4 static

A practical value for VLCD is determined by equating Voff(RMS) with a defined LCD threshold voltage (Vth), typically when the LCD exhibits approximately 10 % contrast. In the static drive mode a suitable choice is VLCD < 3 x Vth. Multiplex drive modes of 1:3 and 1:4 with 12 bias are possible but the discrimination and hence the contrast ratios are smaller.
1 Bias is calculated by ------------ , where the values for a are 1+a

n = 1 for static mode n = 2 for 1:2 multiplex n = 3 for 1:3 multiplex n = 4 for 1:4 multiplex The RMS off-state voltage (Voff(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 2: V off ( RMS ) = a 2 - 2a + n ----------------------------2 n x (1 + a) (2)
V LCD
Discrimination is the ratio of Von(RMS) to Voff(RMS) and is determined from Equation 3:
V on ( RMS ) D = ----------------------- = V off ( RMS )
(a + 1) + (n - 1) ------------------------------------------2 (a - 1) + (n - 1)

(3)
Using Equation 3, the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:3 multiplex with
1 1 2 bias 2 bias
is
3 = 1.732 and the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:4 multiplex with
21 is ---------- = 1.528 . 3
The advantage of these LCD drive modes is a reduction of the LCD full scale voltage VLCD as follows:
* 1:3 multiplex (12 bias): V LCD = 6 x V off ( RMS ) = 2.449V off ( RMS )
) * 1:4 multiplex (12 bias): V LCD = ( 4 x 3 - = 2.309V off ( RMS ) ---------------------
3
These compare with V LCD = 3V off ( RMS ) when 13 bias is used. It should be noted that VLCD is sometimes referred as the LCD operating voltage.

7.5 Oscillator
The internal logic and the LCD drive signals of the PCF8576C are timed by the frequency fclk, which equals either the built-in oscillator frequency fosc or the external clock frequency fclk(ext). The clock frequency (fclk) determines the LCD frame frequency (ffr) and the maximum rate for data reception from the I2C-bus. To allow I2C-bus transmissions at their maximum data rate of 100 kHz, fclk should be chosen to be above 125 kHz.
7.5.1 Internal clock
The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting pin OSC to pin VSS. In this case, the output from pin CLK is the clock signal for any cascaded PCF8576s or PCF8566s in the system. Remark: The PCF8576C is backwards compatible with the PCF8576 (Voper up to 9 V). Where resistor Rext (on pin OSC) to VSS is present, the internal oscillator is selected.
7.5.2 External clock
Connecting pin OSC to VDD enables an external clock source. Pin CLK then becomes the external clock input. Remark: A clock signal must always be supplied to the device. Removing the clock, freezes the LCD in a DC state, which is not suitable for the liquid crystal.
7.6 Timing
The timing of the PCF8576C sequences the internal data flow of the device. This includes the transfer of display data from the display RAM to the display segment outputs. In cascaded applications, the synchronization signal (SYNC) maintains the correct timing relationship between the PCF8576Cs in the system. The timing also generates the LCD frame frequency which is derived as an integer division of the clock frequency (see Table 6). The frame frequency is set by the mode set commands when an internal clock is used or by the frequency applied to the pin CLK when an external clock is used.

The possible values for fclk see Table 20. For fclk = 200 kHz. For fclk = 31 kHz.
The ratio between the clock frequency and the LCD frame frequency depends on the mode in which the device is operating. In the power-saving mode the reduction ratio is six times smaller; this allows the clock frequency to be reduced by a factor of six. The reduced clock frequency results in a significant reduction in power consumption.

PCF8576C
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The lower clock frequency has the disadvantage of increasing the response time when large amounts of display data are transmitted on the I2C-bus. When a device is unable to process a display data byte before the next one arrives, it holds the SCL line LOW until the first display data byte is stored. This slows down the transmission rate of the I2C-bus but no data loss occurs.
7.7 Display register
The display register holds the display data while the corresponding multiplex signals are generated. There is a one-to-one relationship between the data in the display register, the LCD segment outputs and one column of the display RAM.
7.8 Shift register
The shift register transfers display information from the display RAM to the display register while previous data is displayed.
7.9 Segment outputs
The LCD drive section includes 40 segment outputs, S0 to S39, which must be connected directly to the LCD. The segment output signals are generated based on the multiplexed backplane signals and with data residing in the display register. When less than 40 segment outputs are required, the unused segment outputs should be left open-circuit.
7.10 Backplane outputs
The LCD drive section includes four backplane outputs: BP0 to BP3. The backplane output signals are generated based on the selected LCD drive mode.
* In 1:4 multiplex drive mode: BP0 to BP3 must be connected directly to the LCD.
If less than four backplane outputs are required the unused outputs can be left as an open-circuit.
* In 1:3 multiplex drive mode: BP3 carries the same signal as BP1, therefore these two
adjacent outputs can be tied together to give enhanced drive capabilities.
* In 1:2 multiplex drive mode: BP0 and BP2, BP1 and BP3 respectively carry the same
signals and can also be paired to increase the drive capabilities.
* In static drive mode: the same signal is carried by all four backplane outputs and they
can be connected in parallel for very high drive requirements.
7.11 Display RAM
The display RAM is a static 40 x 4-bit RAM which stores LCD data. A logic 1 in the RAM bitmap indicates the on-state of the corresponding LCD element; similarly, a logic 0 indicates the off-state. There is a direct relationship between the RAM addresses and the segment outputs, and between the individual bits of a RAM word and the backplane outputs. The display RAM bit map Figure 12 shows the rows 0 to 3 which correspond with the backplane outputs BP0 to BP3, and the columns 0 to 39 which correspond with the segment outputs S0 to S39. In multiplexed LCD applications the segment data of the first, second, third and fourth row of the display RAM are time-multiplexed with BP0, BP1, BP2 and BP3 respectively.

Fig 12. Display RAM bit map
When display data is transmitted to the PCF8576C, the display bytes received are stored in the display RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive mode. The data is stored as it arrives and does not wait for an acknowledge cycle as with the commands. Depending on the current multiplex drive mode, data is stored singularly, in pairs, triplets or quadruplets. To illustrate the filling order, an example of a 7-segment numeric display showing all drive modes is given in Figure 13; the RAM filling organization depicted applies equally to other LCD types. The following applies to Figure 13:
* In the static drive mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0 of eight
successive 4-bit RAM words.
* In the 1:2 multiplex mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into
row 0 and 1 of four successive 4-bit RAM words.
* In the 1:3 multiplex mode, the eight bits are placed in triples into row 0, 1 and 2 to
three successive 4-bit RAM words, with bit 3 of the third address left unchanged. It is not recommended to use this bit in a display because of the difficult addressing. This last bit may, if necessary, be controlled by an additional transfer to this address but care should be taken to avoid overwriting adjacent data because always full bytes are transmitted.
* In the 1:4 multiplex mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples into
row 0, 1, 2 and 3 of two successive 4-bit RAM words.

7.12 Data pointer
The addressing mechanism for the display RAM is realized using the data pointer. This allows the loading of an individual display data byte or a series of display data bytes, into any location of the display RAM. The sequence commences with the initialization of the data pointer by the load data pointer command (see Table 13). After this, the data byte is stored starting at the display RAM address indicated by the data pointer (see Figure 13). Once each byte is stored, the data pointer is automatically incremented based on the selected LCD configuration. The contents of the data pointer are incremented as follows:
* * * *
In static drive mode by eight. In 1:2 multiplex drive mode by four. In 1:3 multiplex drive mode by three. In 1:4 multiplex drive mode by two.
If an I2C-bus data access terminates early, the state of the data pointer is unknown. Consequently, the data pointer must be rewritten prior to further RAM accesses.
7.13 Sub-address counter
The storage of display data is conditioned by the contents of the subaddress counter. Storage is allowed to take place only when the contents of the subaddress counter match with the hardware subaddress applied to A0, A1 and A2. The subaddress counter value is defined by the device select command (see Table 14). If the contents of the subaddress counter and the hardware subaddress do not match then data storage is blocked but the data pointer will be incremented as if data storage had taken place. The subaddress counter is also incremented when the data pointer overflows. The storage arrangements described lead to extremely efficient data loading in cascaded applications. When a series of display bytes are sent to the display RAM, automatic wrap-over to the next PCF8576C occurs when the last RAM address is exceeded. Subaddressing across device boundaries is successful even if the change to the next device in the cascade occurs within a transmitted character (such as during the 14th display data byte transmitted in 1:3 multiplex mode).
7.14 Bank selector
7.14.1 Output bank selector
The output bank selector (see Table 15), selects one of the four bits per display RAM address for transfer to the display register. The actual bit selected depends on the LCD drive mode in operation and on the instant in the multiplex sequence.
* In 1:4 multiplex mode: all RAM addresses of bit 0 are selected, followed sequentially
by the contents of bit 1, bit 2 and then bit 3.
* In 1:3 multiplex mode: bits 0, 1 and 2 are selected sequentially. * In 1:2 multiplex mode: bits 0 and 1 are selected. * In the static mode: bit 0 is selected.

PCF8576C
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The PCF8576C includes a RAM bank switching feature in the static and 1:2 multiplex drive modes. In the static drive mode, the bank select command may request the contents of bit 2 to be selected for display instead of the contents of bit 0. In 1:2 multiplex drive mode, the contents of bits 2 and 3 may be selected instead of bits 0 and 1. This enables preparation of display information in an alternative bank and the ability to switch to it once it has been assembled.
7.14.2 Input bank selector
The input bank selector (see Table 15) loads display data into the display RAM based on the selected LCD drive configuration. Using the bank select command, display data can be loaded in bit 2 into static drive mode or in bits 2 and 3 into 1:2 multiplex drive mode. The input bank selector functions independently of the output bank selector.
7.15 Blinker
The display blinking capabilities of the PCF8576C are very versatile. The whole display can be blinked at frequencies selected by the blink command. The blinking frequencies are integer fractions of the clock frequency; the ratios between the clock and blinking frequencies depend on the mode in which the device is operating (see Table 7).
Table 7. Blink frequencies Normal operating mode ratio Power saving mode ratio Blink frequency blinking off 2 Hz
Blinking mode off 1
f clk f blink = --------------92160 f clk f blink = ------------------184320 f clk f blink = ------------------368640
f clk f blink = --------------15360 f clk f blink = --------------30720 f clk f blink = --------------61440

1 Hz
3
0.5 Hz
An additional feature is for an arbitrary selection of LCD segments to be blinked. This applies to the static and 1:2 multiplex drive modes and can be implemented without any communication overheads. Using the output bank selector, the displayed RAM banks are exchanged with alternate RAM banks at the blinking frequency. This mode can also be specified by the blink command (see Table 16). In the 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex modes, where no alternate RAM bank is available, groups of LCD segments can be blinked by selectively changing the display RAM data at fixed time intervals. If the entire display needs to be blinked at a frequency other than the nominal blink frequency, this can be done using the mode set command to set and reset the display enable bit E at the required rate (see Table 9).

8. Basic architecture
8.1 Characteristics of the I2C-bus
The I2C-bus provides bidirectional, two-line communication between different IC or modules. The two lines are a Serial Data line (SDA) and a Serial Clock Line (SCL). When connected to the output stages of a device, both lines must be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor. Data transfer is initiated only when the bus is not busy.
8.1.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse. Changes in the data line at this time will be interpreted as a control signal. Bit transfer is illustrated in Figure 14.
SDA
SCL data line stable; data valid change of data allowed
mba607
Fig 14. Bit transfer
8.1.1.1
START and STOP conditions Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW change of the data line, while the clock is HIGH, is defined as the START condition (S). A LOW-to-HIGH change of the data line, while the clock is HIGH, is defined as the STOP condition (P). The START and STOP conditions are illustrated in Figure 15.

8.1.2 System configuration
A device generating a message is a transmitter and a device receiving a message is the receiver. The device that controls the message is the master and the devices which are controlled by the master are the slaves. The system configuration is illustrated in Figure 16.

8.1.3 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a HIGH level signal put on the bus by the transmitter during which time the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse. Acknowledgement on the I2C-bus is illustrated in Figure 17.
* A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte.
* A master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte that
has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
* The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be taken into consideration).
* A master receiver must signal an end-of-data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the master receiver must leave the data line HIGH during the 9th pulse to not acknowledge. The master will now generate a STOP condition.

8.1.4 PCF8576C I2C-bus controller
The PCF8576C acts as an I2C-bus slave receiver. It does not initiate I2C-bus transfers or transmit data to an I2C-bus master receiver. The only data output from the PCF8576C are the acknowledge signals of the selected devices. Device selection depends on the I2C-bus slave address, the transferred command data and the hardware subaddress. In single device application, the hardware subaddress inputs A0, A1 and A2 are normally tied to VSS which defines the hardware subaddress 0. In multiple device applications A0, A1 and A2 are tied to VSS or VDD using a binary coding scheme so that no two devices with a common I2C-bus slave address have the same hardware subaddress. In the power-saving mode it is possible that the PCF8576C is not able to keep up with the highest transmission rates when large amounts of display data are transmitted. If this situation occurs, the PCF8576C forces the SCL line LOW until its internal operations are completed. This is known as the clock synchronization feature of the I2C-bus and serves to slow down fast transmitters. Data loss does not occur.
8.1.5 Input filter
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are provided on the SDA and SCL lines.
8.2 I2C-bus protocol
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (0111000 and 0111001) are reserved for the PCF8576C. The least significant bit of the slave address that a PCF8576C responds to is defined by the level tied at its input SA0. Therefore, two types of PCF8576C can be distinguished on the same I2C-bus which allows:
* Up to 16 PCF8576Cs on the same I2C-bus for very large LCD applications. * The use of two types of LCD multiplex on the same I2C-bus.
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Figure 18. The sequence is initiated with a START condition (S) from the I2C-bus master which is followed by one of the two PCF8576C slave addresses available. All PCF8576Cs with the corresponding SA0 level acknowledge in parallel with the slave address but all PCF8576Cs with the alternative SA0 level ignore the whole I2C-bus transfer. After acknowledgement, one or more command bytes (m) follow which define the status of the addressed PCF8576Cs. The last command byte is tagged with a cleared most significant bit, the continuation bit C. The command bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed PCF8576Cs on the bus. After the last command byte, a series of display data bytes (n) may follow. These display bytes are stored in the display RAM at the address specified by the data pointer and the subaddress counter. Both data pointer and subaddress counter are automatically updated and the data is directed to the intended PCF8576C device. The acknowledgement after each byte is made only by the (A0, A1 and A2) addressed PCF8576C. After the last display byte, the I2C-bus master issues a STOP condition (P).

8.3 Command decoder
The command decoder identifies command bytes that arrive on the I2C-bus. All available commands carry a continuation bit C in their most significant bit position as shown in Figure 19. When this bit is set, it indicates that the next byte of the transfer to arrive will also represent a command. If this bit is reset, it indicates that the command byte is the last in the transfer. Further bytes will be regarded as display data. The five commands available to the PCF8576C are defined in Table 8.

13. Application information
13.1 Cascaded operation
In large display configurations, up to 16 PCF8576Cs can be recognized on the same I2C-bus by using the 3-bit hardware subaddress (A0, A1 and A2) and the programmable I2C-bus slave address (SA0).
Table 21. Cluster 1 Addressing cascaded PCF8576C Bit SA0 0 Pin A2 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 Pin A1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 Pin A0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 Device 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Cascaded PCF8576Cs are synchronized. They can share the backplane signals from one of the devices in the cascade. Such an arrangement is cost-effective in large LCD applications since the backplane outputs of only one device need to be through-plated to the backplane electrodes of the display. The other PCF8576Cs of the cascade contribute additional segment outputs but their backplane outputs are left open-circuit (see Figure 29). The PCF8576C can also be cascaded with the PCF8566. The connections are identical to the PCF8576C cascade.

Fig 29. Cascaded PCF8576C configuration
The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded PCF8576Cs. This synchronization is guaranteed after the power-on reset. The only time that SYNC is likely to be needed is if synchronization is accidentally lost (e.g. by noise in adverse electrical environments; or by the defining a multiplex mode when PCF8576Cs with differing SA0 levels are cascaded). SYNC is organized as an input/output pin; the output selection being realized as an open-drain driver with an internal pull-up resistor. A PCF8576C asserts the SYNC line and monitors the SYNC line at all other times. If synchronization in the cascade is lost, it is restored by the first PCF8576C to assert SYNC. The timing relationship between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal for the various drive modes of the PCF8576C are shown in Figure 30. For single plane wiring of packaged PCF8576Cs and chip-on-glass cascading, see Figure 31. .

Excessive capacitive coupling between SCL or CLK and SYNC will cause erroneous synchronization. If this is a problem you can increase the capacitance of the SYNC line (e.g. by an external capacitor between SYNC and VDD.) Degradation of the positive edge of the SYNC pulse can be countered by an external pull-up resistor.

18. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 "Surface mount reflow soldering description".
18.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high densities that come with increased miniaturization.
18.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
* Through-hole components * Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also, leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered, due to an increased probability of bridging. The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages, packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable. Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
* * * * * *
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation The moisture sensitivity level of the packages Package placement Inspection and repair Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
18.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
* Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are exposed to the wave
* Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

18.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
* Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 41) than a SnPb process, thus reducing the process window
* Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
* Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with Table 25 and 26
Table 25. SnPb eutectic process (from J-STD-020C) Package reflow temperature (C) Volume (mm3) < 350 < 2.5 2.5 Table 26. 235 220 Lead-free process (from J-STD-020C) Package reflow temperature (C) Volume (mm3) < 350 < 1.6 1.6 to 2.5 > 2.5 260 260 250 350 to 2000 260 250 245 > 2000 260 245 245 350 220 220

Package thickness (mm)
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all times. Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow soldering, see Figure 41.
