Character Generator ROM (CGROM)

The character generator ROM generates 5 x 8 dot character patterns from 8-bit character codes. It can generate

240/250/248/256 5 x 8 dot character patterns (select by OPR1/2 ITO pin). User-defined character patterns are

also available by mask-programmed ROM.

Character Generator RAM (CGRAM)

In the character generator RAM, the user can rewrite character patterns by program. For 5 x 8 dots, eight

character patterns can be written.

Write into DDRAM the character codes at the addresses shown as the left column of code table (refer to

appendix) to show the character patterns stored in CGRAM.

See Table 4 for the relationship between CGRAM addresses and data and display patterns. Areas that are not

used for display can be used as general data RAM.

ICON RAM

In the ICON RAM, the user can rewrite icon pattern by program.

There are totally 80 dots for icon can be written.

See Table 5 for the relationship between ICON RAM address and data and the display patterns.

Timing Generation Circuit

The timing generation circuit generates timing signals for the operation of internal circuits such as

DDRAM, CGROM and CGRAM. RAM read timing for display and internal operation timing by MPU

access are generated separately to avoid interfering with each other. Therefore, when writing data to

DDRAM, for example, there will be no undesirable interference, such as flickering, in areas other than

the display area.(In I

2C interface the reading function is invalid.)

LCD Driver Circuit

LCD Driver circuit has 17 common and 80 segment signals for LCD driving. Data from CGRAM/CGROM/ICON

is transferred to 80 bit segment latch serially, and then it is stored to 80 bit shift latch. When each common is

selected by 17 bit common register, segment data also output through segment driver from 80 bit segment latch.

Cursor/Blink Control Circuit

It can generate the cursor or blink in the cursor/blink control circuit. The cursor or the blink appears in the digit at

the display data RAM address set in the address counter.
