DOWN MODE
During power-down (bit PD = 1) all static currents are
switched off (no internal oscillator, no timing, no LCD
segment drive system) and all LCD outputs are internally
connected to V
SS
.
To decrease the voltage at V
LCDOUT
very fast the following
features can be used:
Select the direct drive mode by setting bit DM = 1
resulting in V
LCDOUT
= V
DD2
Select the non direct drive mode by setting bit DM = 0,
resulting in V
LCDOUT
= 0 V (output high-impedance).
During power-down:
All LCD outputs at V
SS
(display off)
Oscillator is off
Intermediate bias voltage generator is off
High voltage generator is disabled; however, the status
of bit HVE is unchanged (see Table 8)
An external V
LCD
can be disconnected from V
LCDIN
The I
2
C-bus is operational; commands can be executed
DDRAM contents is not cleared; DDRAM data can be
written
Register settings remain unchanged
Temperature measurement is not possible.

ARTIAL SCREEN MODE
Partial screen mode allows data to be displayed of
DDRAM bank 0 to 1 on the first 8 rows or bank 14 to 15 on
the last 8 rows, depending on the status of
bits DP
2
to DP
0
.
If bit MY = 0, data is displayed either on rows 0 to 7 (first
8 rows) or on rows 56 to 63 (last 8 rows).
Ifbit MY = 1,dataisdisplayedeitheronrows66 to 59(first
8 rows) or on rows 10 to 3 (last 8 rows).
The partial screen mode also allows V
LCDIN
to be reduced
to save power.
Frame frequency calibration is not allowed in the partial
screen mode.

ADDRESS OF
DDRAM
Bits Y
4
to Y
0
define the Y-address of the DDRAM.

IAS SYSTEM
Different LCD bias voltage settings are required at
different multiplex rates. The status of bits BS
2
to BS
0
and
bit BS
1
/
2
select different ‘bias systems’ which determine
the intermediate bias voltage levels between
V
LCDIN
and V
SS1
. It should be noted that the bias system
selected by bit BS
1
/
2
is independent of the bias systems
selected by bits BS
2
to BS
0
.
A value ‘n’ attributed to each bias system is used to
calculate these levels (see Table 5).
The optimum value for ‘n’ is given by:
M is the multiplex rate.
where
Table 6 shows how bias voltage levels are calculated for
three of the available bias systems using supported ‘n’
values.
