Automotive LCD driver for character displays

8.5.4.1

CGRAM addressing

For addressing, the CGRAM the following steps have to be taken (see Figure 31):

• Select the column of the CGRAM (SMB[2:0]) with the Sel_mem_bank command (see

Section 8.1.1.9)

• Set the requested address counter (ADD[6:0]) with the Set_mem_addr command

(see Section 8.1.1.10)

• Write data to the CGRAM with the Write_data command (WD[4:0]) (see

Section 8.1.1.12)

• Read the data from the CGRAM with the Read_data command (RD[4:0]) (see

Section 8.1.1.11)

8.5.4.2

User-defined characters and symbols

User-defined characters can be stored in the CGRAM. The content of the CGRAM is lost

during power-down, therefore the CGRAM has to be rewritten after every power-on.

Below some source code is printed, which shows how a user-defined character can be

coded - in this case the euro currency sign. The display used is a 2 lines by 20 characters

display and the interface is the I2C-bus:

// Write a user-defined character into the CGRAM

startI2C();

// PCA2117 slave address for write, SA0 is connected to VDD

SendI2CAddress(0x76);

// MSB (Continuation bit CO) = 0, no more control bytes will follow, RS[1:0]= 10

// next byte is command byte on register page "10"

i2c_write(0x40);

// 2 lines x 20 chars, 1/18 duty. Next byte will be another command.

i2c_write(0x32);

// Repeated Start condition

startI2C();

SendI2CAddress(0x76);

// MSB (Continuation bit CO) = 0, no more control bytes will follow, RS[1:0]= 00

// next bytes are command bytes on register page "00"

i2c_write(0x00);

// Select Memory Bank 1: Column 0 of CGRAM
