PCA85233

Automotive 80 × 4 LCD driver for low multiplex rates

For display sizes that are not multiple of 320 segments/elements, a mixed cascaded

system can be considered containing only devices like PCA85233 and PCA85132.

Depending on the application, one must take care of the software command and pin

connection compatibility.

Only one master but multiple slaves are allowed in a cascade. All devices in the cascade

have to use the same clock whether it is supplied externally or provided by the master.

The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded

PCA85233. 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 definition of a

multiplex drive mode when PCA85233 with different SA0 levels are cascaded).

SYNC is organized as an input/output pin; The output selection is realized as an

open-drain driver with an internal pull-up resistor. A PCA85233 asserts the SYNC line at

the onset of its last active backplane signal and monitors the SYNC line at all other times.

If synchronization in the cascade is lost, it is restored by the first PCA85233 to assert

SYNC. The timing relationships between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal

for the various drive modes of the PCA85233 are shown in Figure 26.
