(24) ELECTRIC VOLUME
The electric volume is within voltage converting circuit and the brightness of LCD can be controlled
by adjusting V
LCD
level with command.
The LCD driving voltage V
LCD
is generated by selecting 1 level within 128 step electric volume
controlled levels by setting 7 bit electric volume register.
(25) VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUIT
The voltage regulator circuit is within voltage converting circuit and generates regulated voltage
using V
REF
input with magnification by adjusting internal resistor. The generated voltage by voltage
regulator is output at V
REG
terminal. Even though boosted voltage variation, generated regulator
voltage is stable because boosting voltage level is higher than the amplified regulator voltage V
REG
.
And so, stable voltage level can be generated even if there is load variation.
V
REG
is used as input voltage of electric volume circuit to generate LCD driving voltage.
(26) REFERENCE VOLTAGE GENERATION CIRCUIT
The reference voltage generation circuit is within voltage converting circuit.
This circuit generates reference voltage V
BA
terminal for using at regulator circuit through. The
output voltage level from V
BA
terminal is as following description.
V
BA
= V
EE
x 0.9
The LCD driving voltages can be made by applying reference voltage to reference voltage input
terminal V
REF
.

by resistively dividing V
LCD
into 4 levels.
The bias ratio of LCD driving voltages can be one of 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10.
When using built-in power supply circuit, you should connect voltage stabilization capacitor CA
2
at
each of LCD power terminals. There is need for selecting the coefficient of capacitor CA
2
after
display the LCD.
When using external voltage supply, disable the built-in power supply circuit(AMPON, DCON=‘00’),
