Function
I
Chip selection input with pull-high resistor
When the CS is logic high, the data and command read from or written to
the HT1621 are disabled. The serial interface circuit is also reset. But if CS
is at logic low level and is input to the CS pad, the data and command transmission between the host controller and the HT1621 are all enabled.

RD
I
READ clock input with pull-high resistor
Data in the RAM of the HT1621 are clocked out on the falling edge of the RD
signal. The clocked out data will appear on the DATA line. The host controller can use the next rising edge to latch the clocked out data.

WR
I
WRITE clock input with pull-high resistor
Data on the DATA line are latched into the HT1621 on the rising edge of the
WR signal.

The OSCI and OSCO pads are connected to a 32.768kHz crystal in order to
generate a system clock. If the system clock comes from an external clock
source, the external clock source should be connected to the OSCI pad. But
if an on-chip RC oscillator is selected instead, the OSCI and OSCO pads
can be left open.

of Power-on Reset timing must be satisfied also. That is, the VDD must drop to 0V and keep at 0V for
20ms (min.) before rising to the normal operating voltage.

source is chosen as the system clock, using the SYS
DIS command can neither turn the oscillator off nor
carry out the power down mode. The crystal oscillator
option can be applied to connect an external frequency
source of 32kHz to the OSCI pin. In this case, the system fails to enter the power down mode, similar to the
case in the external 256kHz clock source operation. At
the initial system power on, the HT1621 is at the SYS
DIS state.

The static display memory (RAM) is organized into 32´4
bits and stores the displayed data. The contents of the
RAM are directly mapped to the contents of the LCD
driver. Data in the RAM can be accessed by the READ,
WRITE, and READ-MODIFY-WRITE commands. The
following is a mapping from the RAM to the LCD pattern:

The time base generator is comprised by an 8-stage
count-up ripple counter and is designed to generate an
accurate time base. The watch dog timer (WDT), on the
other hand, is composed of an 8-stage time base generator along with a 2-stage count-up counter, and is designed to break the host controller or other subsystems
from abnormal states such as unknown or unwanted
jump, execution errors, etc. The WDT time-out will result
in the setting of an internal WDT time-out flag. The outputs of the time base generator and of the WDT time-out
flag can be connected to the IRQ output by a command
option. There are totally eight frequency sources available for the time base generator and the WDT clock.
The frequency is calculated by the following equation.

where the value of n ranges from 0 to 7 by command options. The 32kHz in the above equation indicates that
the source of the system frequency is derived from a
crystal oscillator of 32.768kHz, an on-chip oscillator
(256kHz), or an external frequency of 256kHz.

The HT1621 system clock is used to generate the time
base/Watchdog Timer (WDT) clock frequency, LCD
driving clock, and tone frequency. The source of the
clock may be from an on-chip RC oscillator (256kHz), a
crystal oscillator (32.768kHz), or an external 256kHz
clock by the S/W setting. The configuration of the system oscillator is as shown. After the SYS DIS command
is executed, the system clock will stop and the LCD bias
generator will turn off. That command is, however, available only for the on-chip RC oscillator or for the crystal
oscillator. Once the system clock stops, the LCD display
will become blank, and the time base/WDT lose its function as well.
If an on-chip oscillator (256kHz) or an external 256kHz
frequency is chosen as the source of the system frequency, the frequency source is by default prescaled to
32kHz by a 3-stage prescaler. Employing both the time
base generator and the WDT related commands, one
should be careful since the time base generator and
WDT share the same 8-stage counter. For example, invoking the WDT DIS command disables the time base
generator whereas executing the WDT EN command
not only enables the time base generator but activates
the WDT time-out flag output (connect the WDT
The LCD OFF command is used to turn the LCD bias
generator off. After the LCD bias generator switches off
by issuing the LCD OFF command, using the SYS DIS
command reduces power consumption, serving as a

time-out flag to the IRQ pin). After the TIMER EN command is transferred, the WDT is disconnected from the
IRQ pin, and the output of the time base generator is connected to the IRQ pin. The WDT can be cleared by executing the CLR WDT command, and the contents of the time
base generator is cleared by executing the CLR WDT or
the CLR TIMER command. The CLR WDT or the CLR
TIMER command should be executed prior to the WDT
EN or the TIMER EN command respectively. Before executing the IRQ EN command the CLR WDT or CLR
TIMER command should be executed first. The CLR
TIMER command has to be executed before switching
from the WDT mode to the time base mode. Once the
WDT time-out occurs, the IRQ pin will stay at a logic low
level until the CLR WDT or the IRQ DIS command is issued. After the IRQ output is disabled the IRQ pin will remain at the floating state. The IRQ output can be
enabled or disabled by executing the IRQ EN or the IRQ
DIS command, respectively. The IRQ EN makes the
output of the time base generator or of the WDT time-out
flag appear on the IRQ pin. The configuration of the time
base generator along with the WDT are as shown. In the
case of on-chip RC oscillator or crystal oscillator, the
power down mode can reduce power consumption
since the oscillator can be turned on or off by the corresponding system commands. At the power down mode
the time base/WDT loses all its functions.
A simple tone generator is implemented in the HT1621.
The tone generator can output a pair of differential driving signals on the BZ and BZ, which are used to generate a single tone. By executing the TONE4K and
TONE2K commands there are two tone frequency outputs selectable. The TONE4K and TONE2K commands
set the tone frequency to 4kHz and 2kHz, respectively.
The tone output can be turned on or off by invoking the
TONE ON or the TONE OFF command. The tone outputs, namely BZ and BZ, are a pair of differential driving
outputs used to drive a piezo buzzer. Once the system is
disabled or the tone output is inhibited, the BZ and the
BZ outputs will remain at low level.
LCD Driver
The HT1621 is a 128 (32´4) pattern LCD driver. It can be
configured as 1/2 or 1/3 bias and 2 or 3 or 4 commons of
LCD driver by the S/W configuration. This feature
makes the HT1621 suitable for multiply LCD applications. The LCD driving clock is derived from the system
clock. The value of the driving clock is always 256Hz even
when it is at a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator frequency, an
on-chip RC oscillator frequency, or an external frequency. The LCD corresponding commands are summarized in the table.
The bold form of 1 0 0, namely 1 0 0, indicates the command mode ID. If successive commands have been issued, the command mode ID except for the first
command, will be omitted. The LCD OFF command
turns the LCD display off by disabling the LCD bias generator. The LCD ON command, on the other hand, turns
the LCD display on by enabling the LCD bias generator.
The BIAS and COM are the LCD panel related com-
On the other hand, if an external clock is selected as the
source of system frequency the SYS DIS command
turns out invalid and the power down mode fails to be
carried out. That is, after the external clock source is selected, the HT1621 will continue working until system
power fails or the external clock source is removed. After the system power on, the IRQ will be disabled.

level pulse is required to initialize the serial interface of the
HT1621. The DATA line is the serial data input/output line.
Data to be read or written or commands to be written have
to be passed through the DATA line. The RD line is the
READ clock input. Data in the RAM are clocked out on the
falling edge of the RD signal, and the clocked out data will
then appear on the DATA line. It is recommended that the
host controller read in correct data during the interval between the rising edge and the next falling edge of the RD
signal. The WR line is the WRITE clock input. The data,
address, and command on the DATA line are all clocked
into the HT1621 on the rising edge of the WR signal. There
is an optional IRQ line to be used as an interface between
the host controller and the HT1621. The IRQ pin can be
selected as a timer output or a WDT overflow flag output
by the S/W setting. The host controller can perform the
time base or the WDT function by being connected with
the IRQ pin of the HT1621.
mands. Using the LCD related commands, the HT1621
can be compatible with most types of LCD panels.
Command Format
The HT1621 can be configured by the S/W setting. There
are two mode commands to configure the HT1621 resources and to transfer the LCD display data. The configuration mode of the HT1621 is called command mode, and
its command mode ID is 1 0 0. The command mode consists of a system configuration command, a system
frequency selection command, a LCD configuration command, a tone frequency selection command, a timer/WDT
setting command, and an operating command. The data
mode, on the other hand, includes READ, WRITE, and
READ-MODIFY-WRITE operations. The following are the
data mode IDs and the command mode ID:

A 32768Hz crystal can be directly connected to the
HT1621 via OSCI and OSCO. In order to obtain the correct frequency, two additional load capacities (C1, C2)
are needed. The value of the capacity depends on how
accurate the crystal is. We suggest that you can follow
the table, which suggests the value of capacities.The table illustrations the suggestion value of capacities (C1,
C2)
Command
The mode command should be issued before the data
or command is transferred. If successive commands
have been issued, the command mode ID, namely 1 0 0,
can be omitted. While the system is operating in the
non-successive command or the non-successive address data mode, the CS pin should be set to ²1² and the
previous operation mode will be reset also. Once the CS
pin returns to ²0² a new operation mode ID should be issued first.

the host controller and the HT1621. If the CS pin is set to 1,
the data and command issued between the host controller
and the HT1621 are first disabled and then initialized. Before issuing a mode command or mode switching, a high
