PCA85176
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The hardware subaddress must not be changed while the device is being accessed on the
I2C-bus interface.
7.13 Output bank selector
The output bank selector (see Table 13) selects one of the four rows per display RAM
address for transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the
selected LCD drive mode in operation and on the instant in the multiplex sequence.
• In 1:4 multiplex mode, all RAM addresses of row 0 are selected, these are followed by
the contents of row 1, row 2, and then row 3
• In 1:3 multiplex mode, rows 0, 1, and 2 are selected sequentially
• In 1:2 multiplex mode, rows 0 and 1 are selected
• In static mode, row 0 is selected
The PCA85176 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 row 2 to be selected for display instead of the contents of row 0. In the 1:2 multiplex
mode, the contents of rows 2 and 3 may be selected instead of rows 0 and 1. This gives
the provision for preparing display information in an alternative bank and to be able to
switch to it once it is assembled.
7.14 Input bank selector
The input bank selector loads display data into the display RAM in accordance with the
selected LCD drive configuration. Display data can be loaded in row 2 in static drive mode
or in rows 2 and 3 in 1:2 multiplex drive mode by using the bank-select command (see
Table 13). The input bank selector functions independently to the output bank selector.
7.15 Blinker
The display blinking capabilities of the PCA85176 are very versatile. The whole display
can blink at frequencies selected by the blink-select command (see Table 14). The blink
frequencies are fractions of the clock frequency. The ratio between the clock and blink
frequencies depends on the blink mode selected (see Table 6).
An additional feature is for an arbitrary selection of LCD elements to blink. This applies to
the static and 1:2 multiplex drive modes and can be implemented without any
communication overheads. By means of the output bank selector, the displayed RAM
banks are exchanged with alternate RAM banks at the blink frequency. This mode can
also be specified by the blink-select command.
In the 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex modes, where no alternative RAM bank is available, groups of
LCD elements can blink by selectively changing the display RAM data at fixed time
intervals.
