14 LCD CONTROLLER/DRIVER
OVERVIEW
The S3C8245/C8249 micro-controller can directly drive an up-to-16-digit (32-segment) LCD panel. The LCD module
has the following components:
LCD controller/driver
Display RAM (00H–0FH) for storing display data in page 4
32 segment output pins (SEG0–SEG31)
Four common output pins (COM0–COM3)
Three LCD operating power supply pins (VLC0– VLC2)
LCD bias by voltage booster
LCD bias by voltage dividing resistors
Bit settings in the LCD mode register, LMOD, determine the LCD frame frequency, duty and bias, and the segment
pins used for display output. When a subsystem clock is selected as the LCD clock source, the LCD display is
enabled even during stop and idle modes.
The LCD control register LCON turns the LCD display on and off and switches current to the charge-pump circuits for
the display. LCD data stored in the display RAM locations are transferred to the segment signal pins automatically
without program control.
