2.0 – 2.3 2.0 Pin Description
2.0 Pin Description
2.1 Power Signals
• VDD
Connected to +5V power. Common to MPU
power pin V
CC.
• V
SS
0V, connected to system GND.
• V1 – V5
Multi-level power used to drive LCDs. Voltage
specified to each LCD cell is divided by resis-
tors or impedance-converted by an operational
amplifier before being applied. Each voltage to
be applied must be based on V
DD, while fulfill-
ing the following conditions:
V
DD ≥ V1 ≥ V2 ≥ V3 ≥ V4 ≥ V5
2.2 System Bus Interface Signals
• D7 – D0
8-bit, tri-state, bi-directional I/O bus. Normally,
connected to the data bus of an 8-/16-bit stan-
dard microcomputer.
•A0
Input pin. Normally, the LSB of the MPU ad-
dress bus is connected to this input pin to
provide data/command selection.
0 : Display control data on D0 — D7
1 : Display data on D0 — D7
• RES
Input pin. The SED1520 can be reset or initial-
ized by setting RES to low level (if it is inter-
faced with a 68-family MPU) or high level (if
with an 80-family MPU). This reset operation
occurs when an edge of the RES signal is
sensed. The level input selects the type of
interface with the 68- or 80-family MPU:
High level : Interface with 68-family MPU
Low level : Interface with 80-family MPU
•CS
Chip Select input signal which is normally
obtained by decoding an address bus signal.
Effective with “L” active and a chip operating
with external clocks. For a chip containing an
oscillator, CS works as an oscillation amplifier
input pin to which an oscillation resistor (R
f) is
connected. In this case, RD, WR and E must be
a signal ANDed with CS.
• E (RD)
• Chip interfaced with 68-family MPU:
Enable Clock signal input for the 68-
family MPU.
• Chip interfaced with 80-family MPU:
“L” active input pin to which the 80-family
MPU RD signal is connected. With this
signal held at “L”, the SED1520 data bus
works as output.
• R/W (WR)
• Chip interface with 68-family MPU:
Read/write control signal input pin.
R/W = “H” : Read
R/W = “L” : Write
• Chip interfaced with 80-family MPU:
“L” active input pin to which the 80-family
WR is connected. The signal on the data
bus is fetched by the leading edge of WR.
2.3 LCD Drive Circuit Signals
•CL
Input signal effective with a chip using external
clocks. This display data latch signal incre-
ments the line counter (at the trailing edge) or
the common counter (at the leading edge). CL
is connected to CL2 of the common driver. For
a chip containing an oscillator, this pin works as
the oscillation amplifier output pin to which an
oscillation resistor (R
f) is connected.
