Chapter 12: LPC24XX LCD controller
6.12 LCD power up and power down sequence
The LCD controller requires the following power-up sequence to be performed:
1. When power is applied, the following signals are held LOW:
LCDLP
LCDDCLK
LCDFP
LCDENAB/ LCDM
LCDVD[23:0]
LCDLE
2. When LCD power is stabilized, a 1 is written to the LcdEn bit in the LCD_CTRL register.
This enables the following signals into their active states:
LCDLP
LCDDCLK
LCDFP
LCDENAB/ LCDM
LCDLE
The LCDV[23:0] signals remain in an inactive state.
3. When the signals in step 2 have stabilized, the contrast voltage (not controlled or
supplied by the LCD controller) is applied to the LCD panel.
4. If required, a software or hardware timer can be used to provide the minimum display
specific delay time between application of the control signals and power to the panel
display. On completion of the time interval, power is applied to the panel by writing a 1 to
the LcdPwr bit within the LCD_CTRL register that, in turn, sets the LCDPWR signal high
and enables the LCDV[23:0] signals into their active states. The LCDPWR signal is
intended to be used to gate the power to the LCD panel.
The power-down sequence is the reverse of the above four steps and must be strictly
followed, this time, writing the respective register bits with 0.
Figure 12–40 shows the power-up and power-down sequences.
