General Description

The NT7502 is a single-chip LCD driver for dot-matrix liquid crystal displays which is directly connectable to a microcomputer bus. It accepts 8-bit serial or parallel display data directly sent from a microcomputer and stores it in an on-chip display RAM. It generates a LCD drive signal independent of the microprocessor clock.

The set of the on-chip display RAM of 65 X 132 bits and a one-to-one correspondence between LCD panel pixel dots and on-chip RAM bits permit implementation of displays with a high degree of freedom.

The NT7502 contains 65 common output circuits and 132 segment output circuits, so that a single chip of NT7502 can make 65 X 132, 55 X 132, 49 X 132 and 33 X 132 dot displays with pad option (DUTY1, DUTY0).

No external operation clock is required for RAM read/write operations. Accordingly, this driver can be operated with a minimum current consumption and its onboard low-current-consumption liquid crystal power supply can implement a high-performance handy display system with minimum current consumption and the smallest LSI configuration.

Features
