1. general description the pcf21219 is a low power cmos 1 lcd controller and driver, designed to drive a dot matrix lcd display of 2-lines by 16 characters or 1-line by 32 characters with 5 ? 8 dot format. all necessary functions for the display are provided in a single chip, including on-chip generation of lcd bias voltages, resu lting in a minimum of external components and lower system current consumption. the pcf21219 interfaces to most microcontrollers via a 4-bit or 8-bit bus or via the 2-wire i 2 c-bus. the chip contains a character generator and displays alphanumeric and kana (japanese) characters. the last letter in the type name, for example pcf21219dug r , characterizes the built-in character set. various character sets can be manufactured on request. in addition 16 user defined symbols (5 ? 8 dot format) are available. for a selection of nxp lcd character drivers, see table 50 on page 73 . 2. features and benefits ? single-chip lcd controller and driver ? 2-line display of up to 16 characters plus 160 icons or 1-line display of up to 32 characters plus 160 icons ? 5 ? 7 character format plus cursor; 5 ? 8 for kana (japanese) and user defined symbols ? reduced current consumption while displaying icons only ? on-chip: ? configurable 4, 3, or 2 times voltage multiplier generating lcd supply voltage, independent of v dd , programmable by instruction (external supply also possible) ? temperature compensation of on-chip generated v lcdout : ? 0.16 %/k to ? 0.24 %/k (programmable by instruction) ? generation of intermediate lcd bias voltages ? oscillator requires no external componen ts (external clock also possible) ? display data ram (ddram): 80 characters ? character generator rom (cgrom): 240 characters (5 ? 8) ? character generator ram (cgram): 16 characters (5 ? 8); 4 characters used to drive 160 icons ? 4-bit or 8-bit parallel bus and 2-wire i 2 c-bus interface ? pin compatible with pcf2119 ? manufactured in silicon gate cmos process ? 18 row and 80 column outputs pcf21219 lcd driver for character displays rev. 1 ? 14 january 2014 product data sheet 1. the definition of the abbreviations and acronyms used in this data sheet can be found in section 21 .
