CHAPTER 4: PERIPHERAL CIRCUITS AND OPERATION (LCD Driver)
4.7 LCD Driver (COM0–COM7, SEG0–SEG59)
4.7.1 Configuration of LCD driver
The S1C63455 has 8 common terminals (COM0–COM7) and 60 segment terminals (SEG0–SEG59), so that
it can drive a dot matrix type LCD with a maximum of 480 (60
× 8) dots.
The driving method is 1/8 duty dynamic drive with four voltages (1/4 bias), VC1, VC2, VC4 and VC5.
LCD display ON/OFF can be controlled by the software.
4.7.2 Power supply for LCD driving
VC1, VC2, VC4 and VC5 are the LCD drive voltages generated by the LCD system voltage circuit. These
four output voltages can be supplied to the outside only for driving the externally expanded LCD driver.
Turning the LCD system voltage circuit ON or OFF is controlled with the LPWR register. When LPWR is
set to "1", the LCD system voltage circuit outputs the LCD drive voltages to the LCD driver.
The LCD system voltage circuit generates VC1 or VC2 with the voltage regulator incorporated in itself,
and generates three other voltages by boosting or reducing the voltage VC1 or VC2. Table 4.7.2.1 shows the
VC1, VC2, VC4 and VC5 voltage values and boost/reduce status.

Note: The LCD drive voltage can be adjusted by the software (see Section 4.7.5). Values in the table are
typical values.
Select either VC1 standard or VC2 standard using the VCCHG register.
When "1" is written to the VCCHG register, VC2 standard is selected and when "0" is written, VC1 stan-
dard is selected. At initial reset, VC1 standard (VCCHG = "0") is set.
