## **Function Block Descriptions** 

## **Busy Flag (BF)** 

When BF = "High", it indicates that the internal operation is being processed. So during this time the next instruction cannot be accepted. BF can be read, when RS = Low and R/W = High (Read Instruction Operation), through DB7. Before executing the next instruction, be sure that BF is not high. 

## **Display Data Ram (DDRAM)** 

DDRAM stores display data of maximum 80 x 8 bits (80 characters). DDRAM address is set in the address counter (AC) as a hexadecimal number. (Refer to Figure 9-1) 

## **Figure -1: DDRAM Address** 

## **Display of 5-Dot Font Width Character** 

## **5-dot 4-line Display** 

In case of 4-line display with 5-dot font, the address range of DDARM is 00H-13H, 20H-33H, 40H-53H, 60H-73H (refer to Figure 9-5). 

**Figure -2: 4-line x 20ch. Display (5-dot Font Width)** 

## **Timing Generation Circuit** 

Timing generation circuit generates clock signals for the internal operations. 

## **Address Counter (AC)** 

Address Counter (AC) stores DDRAM/ CGRAM/ SEGRAM address, transferred from Instruction Register (IR). After writing into (reading from) DDRAM/ CGRAM/ SEGRAM, AC is automatically increased (decreased) by 1. In parallel and serial mode, when RS = "Low" and R/W = "High", AC can be read through DB0-DB6. 

## **Cursor/Blink Control Circuit** 

It controls cursor/blink ON/OFF and black/white inversion at cursor position. 

## **LCD Driver Circuit** 

LCD Driver circuit has 34 common and 100 segment signals for LCD driving. Data from SEGRAM/ CGRAM/ CGROM is transferred to 100-bit segment latch serially, and then it is stored to 100-bit shift latch. When each com is selected by 34-bit common register, segment data also output through segment driver from 100-bit segment latch. In case of 1-line display mode, ICON1/ICON2 and COM1-COM8 have 1/9 duty ratio; and in 4-line mode, ICON1/ICON2 and COM1-COM32 have 1/33 duty ratio. 

## **CGROM (Character Generator ROM)** 

There is 3 optional CGROMs in SSD1803A in P.66-68 , which is selected by ROM1 and ROM2 pins. CGROM has 5 x 8 dots 256 Character Pattern. 

## **CGRAM (Character Generator RAM)** 

CGRAM has up to 8 characters of 5 x 8 dots, selectable by OPR2 and OPR1 pins (refer to Table 6-1). 

**Table -1: CGRAM and CGROM arrangement with** 

By writing font data to CGRAM, user defined character can be used (refer to Table 

## 6-2). **Table -2: Relationship between Character Code (DDRAM) and Character Pattern (CGRAM)** 

## **5x8 dots Character Pattern** 

## **SEGRAM (Segment Icon RAM)** 

SEGRAM has segment control data and segment pattern data. During display mode, ICON1 (ICON2) makes the data of SEGRAM enable to display icons. Its higher 2-bit are blinking control data, and lower 6-bits are pattern data (refer to Table 6-3 and Figure 6-3). 

**Table -3: Relationship between SEGRAM Address and Display Pattern** 

## **Figure -3 Relationship between SEGRAM and Segment Display** 

## **System Interface** 

This chip has all four kinds of interface type with MPU: I2C, serial, 4-bit bus and 8-bit bus. I2C, Serial and bus (4-bit/8-bit) is selected by IM1 and IM2 inputs, and 4-bit bus and 8-bit bus is selected 

by DL bit in the instruction register. 

## **I2C interface** 

SSD1803A supports I2C interface with a bit rate up to 400 kbits/s. It enables write/ read data or busy flag and supports only the mandatory slave feature showed below. 

## **Slaver address could be set to “011 1100” or “011 1101” by SA0 pin.** 

The I2C interface send RAM data and executes the commands sent via the I2C Interface. It could send data in to the RAM. The I2C Interface is two-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two lines are a Serial Data line (SDA) and a Serial Clock line (SCL). Both lines must be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy. (Note: SDAin and SDAout are short together and forms SDA in SSD1803A) 

## **Bit Transfer** 

One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse because changes in the data line at this time will be interpreted as a control signal. Bit transfer is illustrated in Figure 6-4. 

## **Start and Stop conditions** 

Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW transition of 

the data line, while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START condition (S). A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP condition (P). The START and STOP conditions are illustrated in Figure 6-5. 

## **System Configuration** 

The system configuration consists of 

- Transmitter: the device, which sends the data to the bus 

- Master: the device, which initiates a transfer, generates clock signals and terminates a transfer 

- Slave: the device addressed by a master 

- Multi-Master: more than one master can attempt to control the bus at the same time without corrupting the message 

- Arbitration: procedure to ensure that, if more than one master simultaneously tries to control the bus, only one is allowed to do so and the message is not corrupted 

- Synchronization: procedure to synchronize the clock signals of two or more devices. 

## **Acknowledge** 

Each byte of eight bits is followed by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a HIGH signal put on the bus by the transmitter during which time the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse. A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. A master receiver must also generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter. The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be taken into consideration). A master receiver must signal an end-of-data to the transmitter by not generating an acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event the transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP condition. Acknowledgement on the I2C Interface is illustrated in Figure 6-6. **Figure -4: Bit transfer on the I2C-bus** 

**Figure -5: START and STOP conditions** 

## **Figure -6: Acknowledge on the I2C bus** 

## **I2C Interface Protocol** 

The SSD1803A supports command, data read/ write addressed slaves on the bus. Before any data is transmitted on the I2C Interface, the device, which should respond, is addressed first. Two 7-bit slave addresses (0111100 to 0111101) are reserved for the SSD1803A. The R/W# is assigned to 0 for Write and 1 for Read. The I2C Interface protocol is illustrated in Figure 6-7 to 6-9. 

The sequence is initiated with a START condition (S) from the I2C Interface master, which is followed by the slave address. All slaves with the corresponding address acknowledge in parallel, all the others will ignore the I2C Interface transfer. After acknowledgement, one or more command words follow which define the status of the addressed slaves. 

A command word consists of control byte, which defines C0 and D/C#, plus a data byte. The last control byte is tagged with a cleared most significant bit (i.e. the continuation bit Co). After the last control byte with a cleared Co bit, only data bytes will follow. The state of the D/C# bit defines whether the data byte is interpreted as a command or as RAM data. All addressed 

slaves on the bus also acknowledge the control and data bytes. After the last control byte, depending on the D/C# bit setting; either a series of display data bytes or command data bytes may follow. If the D/C# bit is set to logic 1, these display bytes are stored in the display RAM at the address specified by the data pointer. The data pointer is automatically updated and the data is directed to the intended SSD1803A device. If the D/C# bit of the last control byte is set to logic 0, these command bytes will be decoded and the setting of the device will be changed according to the received commands. Only the addressed slave makes the acknowledgement after each byte. At the end of the transmission the I2C INTERFACE-bus master issues a STOP condition (P).

## **Figure -9: Read Timing** 

During read or write operation, two 8-bit registers are used. One is data register (DR), the other is instruction register (IR). The data register (DR) is used as temporary data storage place for being written into or read from DDRAM/ CGRAM/SEGRAM, target RAM is selected by RAM address setting instruction. Each internal operation, reading from or writing into RAM, is done automatically. 

So to speak, after MPU reads DR data, the data in the next DDRAM/ CGRAM/ SEGRAM address is transferred into DR automatically. Also after MPU writes data to DR, the data in DR is transferred into DDRAM/ CGRAM/ SEGRAM automatically. The Instruction register (IR) is used only to store instruction code transferred from MPU. MPU cannot use it to read instruction data. To select register, use D/C# I2C mode. 

## **Table -5: Bus interface operations according to D/C# and R/W# inputs** 

## **5V IO regulator** 

SSD1803A accepts two power supply range: 

## 2.4-3.6V **[Low Voltage I/O Application]** and 

## 4.5-5.5V **[5V I/O Application]** 

5V IO Regulator is enabled to regulate 5V I/O input to 3V for power supply of internal circuit blocks. 

Note: In 5V I/O Application, VOUT should not be lower than VDDIO. 

Table 6-6 summarizes the input/ output connection of 5V IO regulator in normal application. **Table -6: 5V IO regulator pin description** 

It outputs 3V 

## **LCD Driving Voltage Generator and Regulator** 

This module generates the LCD voltage required for display driving output. **External VLCD mode** 

When on-chip booster is turned off, VLCD can be supplied externally to V0 for display driving. **Figure -10: On-chip voltage converter application set up When booster is off and voltage follower is on (Bon=0; Don=1)** 

## **Figure -11: On-chip voltage converter application set up When both booster and voltage follower is off (Bon=0; Don=0)** 

## **Internal voltage mode** 

## **a) On-chip DC-DC voltage converter** 

Voltage converter is available when Bon=1. Figure 6-21 shows the circuits boosting up the electric 

potential between VDD – VSS toward positive side and boosted voltage is output at VOUT. 

## **Figure -12: On-chip voltage converter application set up When both booster and voltage follower is on (Bon=1; Don=1)** 

**Figure -13: On-chip voltage converter application set up When both booster is on and voltage follower is off (Bon=1; Don=0)** 

## **b) Voltage regulator circuits (Gain) and Contrast Control** 

There is a voltage regulator circuits to determine liquid crystal operating voltage, V0, by adjusting resistors, Ra and Rb, within the range of |V4| < |V0| . The circuits which are turned on with voltage converter consist of an operational-amplifier circuits and a feedback gain control. VOUT is the operating voltage for the op-amp, it is required to supply internally or externally. It consists of a feedback gain control for LCD driving contrast curves, eight settings can be selected through software command (Internal resistor ratio Rab2~0). **Figure -14: Voltage regulator circuit** 

Also, software command (C1-5) is used to adjust the 64 contrast voltage levels at each voltage regulator feedback gain. The equation of calculating the LCD driving voltage is given as: 

Please refer to Figure 6-24 for the contrast curve with 8 sets of internal resistor network gain. 

## **Figure -15: Contrast curve** 

## **c) Bias Divider** 

If the Don command is enabled, this circuit block will divide the voltage regulator circuit output 

(V0) to give the LCD driving levels. External stabilizing capacitors for the divider are optional to reduce the external hardware and pin counts. 

## **d) Bias Ratio Selection circuitry** 

The software control circuit of 1/4 to 1/7 bias ratio in order to match the characteristic of LCD 

panel. 

## **e) Self adjust temperature compensation circuitry** 

Provide 4 different compensation grade selections to satisfy the various liquid crystal 

temperature grades (-0.05%, -0.10%, -0.15%, -0.20%). The grading can be selected by software control. Defaulted temperature coefficient (TC) value is –0.05%/°C. 

## **Oscillator Circuit** 

This module is an On-Chip low power temperature compensation oscillator circuitry. The oscillator generates the clock for the DC-DC voltage converter and the Display Timing Generator. User may choose to use internal oscillator clock or supply external clock by CLS pin.
