PCF8576

6.12 Data pointer

The addressing mechanism for the display RAM is

realized using the data pointer. This allows the loading of

an individual display data byte, or a series of display data

bytes, into any location of the display RAM. The sequence

commences with the initialization of the data pointer by the

LOAD DATA POINTER command. Following this, an

arriving data byte is stored starting at the display RAM

address indicated by the data pointer thereby observing

the filling order shown in Fig.11. The data pointer is

automatically incremented in accordance with the chosen

LCD configuration. That is, after each byte is stored, the

contents of the data pointer are incremented by eight

(static drive mode), by four (1 : 2 multiplex drive mode) or

by two (1 : 4 multiplex drive mode).

6.13 Subaddress counter

The storage of display data is conditioned by the contents

of the subaddress counter. Storage is allowed to take

place only when the contents of the subaddress counter

agree with the hardware subaddress applied to A0, A1

and A2. The subaddress counter value is defined by the

DEVICE SELECT command. If the contents of the

subaddress counter and the hardware subaddress do not

agree then data storage is inhibited but the data pointer is

incremented as if data storage had taken place. The

subaddress counter is also incremented when the data

pointer overflows.

The storage arrangements described lead to extremely

efficient data loading in cascaded applications. When a

series of display bytes are sent to the display RAM,

automatic wrap-over to the next PCF8576 occurs when

the last RAM address is exceeded. Subaddressing across

device boundaries is successful even if the change to the

next device in the cascade occurs within a transmitted

character (such as during the 14th display data byte

transmitted in 1 : 3 multiplex mode).

6.14 Output bank selector

This selects one of the four bits per display RAM address

for transfer to the display latch. The actual bit chosen

depends on the particular LCD drive mode in operation

and on the instant in the multiplex sequence. In 1 : 4

multiplex, all RAM addresses of bit 0 are the first to be

selected, these are followed by the contents of bit 1, bit 2

and then bit 3. Similarly in 1 : 3 multiplex, bits 0, 1 and 2

are selected sequentially. In 1 : 2 multiplex, bits 0 and 1

are selected and, in the static mode, bit 0 is selected.

The PCF8576 includes a RAM bank switching feature in

the static and 1 : 2 multiplex drive modes. In the static

drive mode, the BANK SELECT command may request

the contents of bit 2 to be selected for display instead of

bit 0 contents. In the 1 : 2 drive mode, the contents of

bits 2 and 3 may be selected instead of bits 0 and 1. This

gives the provision for preparing display information in an

alternative bank and to be able to switch to it once it is

assembled.

6.15 Input bank selector

The input bank selector loads display data into the display

RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive

configuration. Display data can be loaded in bit 2 in static

drive mode or in bits 2 and 3 in 1 : 2 drive mode by using

the BANK SELECT command. The input bank selector

functions independent of the output bank selector.
