SSD1801
is a single-chip CMOS LCD driver with controller for
liquid crystal dot-matrix character display system. It
consists of 105 high voltage driving output pins for
driving 80 Segments, 24 Commons and 1 icon driving-Common.
It can display 2 or 3 lines of 16 characters with 5x8 dots
format. The double height character mode and line vertical
scroll functions are supported.
SSD1801
displays character directly from its internal 10,240 bits
(256 characters x 5 x 8 dots) Character Generator ROM
(CGROM).
All the character code are stored in the 512 bits (16
character x 4 lines) Data Display RAM (DDRAM). User
defined character can
be loaded via 320 bits (8 characters x 5 x 8 dots)
Character Generator RAM (CGRAM). In addition, there is
a 80 bits Icon RAM for Icon display. Data/ Commands
are sent
from general MCU through a software selectable
6800-/8080-series compatible 4/8-bit Parallel Interface
or Serial Peripheral Interface.
SSD1801
embeds a DC-DC Converter, Voltage Regulator, Voltage
Divider and RC oscillator which reduce the number of
external components. With the special design on minimizing
power consumption and die size, SSD1801 is suitable for
portable battery-driven applications requiring a long
operation period and a compact size.
