Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
Rev. 02 — 1 June 2010
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA8534A is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD)1 with low multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or
multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 60 segments. It can be easily
cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCA8534A is compatible with most
microprocessors or microcontrollers and communicates via a two-line bidirectional
I2C-bus. Communication overheads are minimized by a display RAM with
auto-incremented addressing, by hardware subaddressing, and by display memory
switching (static and duplex drive modes).
AEC-Q100 compliant for automotive applications.

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
7. Functional description
The PCA8534A is a versatile peripheral device designed to interface any microprocessor
or microcontroller to a wide variety of LCDs. It can directly drive any static or multiplexed
LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 60 segments.
The possible display configurations of the PCA8534A depend on the number of active
backplane outputs required. A selection of display configurations is shown in Table 4. All
of these configurations can be implemented in the typical system shown in Figure 3.

Typical system configuration
The host microprocessor or microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication
channel with the PCA8534A.
Biasing voltages for the multiplexed LCD waveforms are generated internally, removing
the need for an external bias generator. The internal oscillator is selected by connecting
pin OSC to VSS. The only other connections required to complete the system are the
power supplies (VDD, VSS, and VLCD) and the LCD panel selected for the application.

• The data pointer and the subaddress counter are cleared (set to logic 0)
• The display is disabled
Remark: Do not transfer data on the I2C-bus after a power-on for at least 1 ms to allow
the reset action to complete.
7.2 LCD bias generator
Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider of three
series resistors connected between pins VLCD and VSS. The center resistor is bypassed
by switch if the 1⁄2 bias voltage level for the 1:2 multiplex drive mode configuration is
selected.
7.3 LCD voltage selector
The LCD voltage selector coordinates the multiplexing of the LCD in accordance with the
selected LCD drive configuration. The operation of the voltage selector is controlled by the
mode-set command from the command decoder. The biasing configurations that apply to
the preferred modes of operation, together with the biasing characteristics as functions of
VLCD and the resulting discrimination ratios (D) are given in Table 5.

A practical value for VLCD is determined by equating Voff(RMS) with a defined LCD
threshold voltage (Vth), typically when the LCD exhibits approximately 10 % contrast. In
the static drive mode a suitable choice is VLCD > 3Vth.
Multiplex drive modes of 1:3 and 1:4 with 1⁄2 bias are possible but the discrimination and
hence the contrast ratios are smaller.

PCA8534A
NXP Semiconductors
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
7.5 Oscillator
The internal logic and the LCD drive signals of the PCA8534A are timed by the frequency
fclk, which equals either the built-in oscillator frequency fosc or the external clock frequency
fclk(ext). The clock frequency fclk determines the LCD frame frequency (ffr).
7.5.1 Internal clock
The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting pin OSC to pin VSS. In this case, the
output from pin CLK is the clock signal for any cascaded PCA8534A in the system.
7.5.2 External clock
Pin CLK is enabled as an external clock input by connecting pin OSC to VDD. The LCD
frame signal frequency is determined by the clock frequency (fclk).
A clock signal must always be supplied to the device; removing the clock may freeze the
LCD in a DC state, which is not suitable for the liquid crystal.
7.6 Timing
The PCA8534A timing controls the internal data flow of the device. This includes the
transfer of display data from the display RAM to the display segment outputs. In cascaded
applications, the correct timing relationship between each PCA8534A in the system is
maintained by the synchronization signal at pin SYNC. The timing also generates the LCD
frame signal whose frequency is derived from the clock frequency. The frame signal
frequency is a fixed division of the clock frequency from either the internal or an external
clock.
Table 6.

Nominal frame frequency (Hz)

f clk
f fr = -------24
7.7 Display register
The display register holds the display data while the corresponding multiplex signals are
generated.
7.8 Segment outputs
The LCD drive section includes 60 segment outputs (S0 to S59) which should be
connected directly to the LCD. The segment output signals are generated based on the
multiplexed backplane signals and with data resident in the display register. When less
than 60 segment outputs are required, the unused segment outputs must be left
open-circuit.
7.9 Backplane outputs
The LCD drive section includes four backplane outputs: BP0 to BP3. The backplane
output signals are generated based on the selected LCD drive mode.
• In 1:4 multiplex drive mode: BP0 to BP3 must be connected directly to the LCD.

PCA8534A
NXP Semiconductors
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
If less than four backplane outputs are required the unused outputs can be left as an
open-circuit.
• In 1:3 multiplex drive mode: BP3 carries the same signal as BP1, therefore these two
adjacent outputs can be tied together to give enhanced drive capabilities.
• In 1:2 multiplex drive mode: BP0 and BP2, BP1 and BP3 respectively carry the same
signals and can also be paired to increase the drive capabilities.
• In static drive mode: the same signal is carried by all four backplane outputs and they
can be connected in parallel for very high drive requirements.
7.10 Display RAM
The display RAM is a static 60 × 4-bit RAM which stores LCD data.
There is a one-to-one correspondence between
• the bits in the RAM bitmap and the LCD elements
• the RAM columns and the segment outputs
• the RAM rows and the backplane outputs.
Logic 1 in the RAM bit map indicates the on-state of the corresponding LCD segment,
logic 0 indicates the off-state.
The display RAM bit map, Figure 9, shows the rows 0 to 3 which correspond with the
backplane outputs BP0 to BP3, and the columns 0 to 59 which correspond with the
segment outputs S0 to S59. In multiplexed LCD applications the segment data of the first,
second, third and fourth row of the display RAM are time-multiplexed with BP0, BP1, BP2,
and BP3 respectively.

Fig 9.
Display RAM bit map
When display data is transmitted to the PCA8534A the display bytes received are stored
in the display RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive mode. The data is stored as
it arrives and does not wait for an acknowledge cycle as with the commands. Depending
on the current multiplex drive mode, data is stored singularly, in pairs, triples or
quadruples. To illustrate the filling order, an example of a 7-segment numeric display
showing all drive modes is given in Figure 10; the RAM filling organization depicted
applies equally to other LCD types.

PCA8534A
NXP Semiconductors
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The following applies to Figure 10:
• Static mode: the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0 to eight successive
display RAM addresses.
• 1:2 multiplex mode: the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0 and 1 to four
successive display RAM addresses.
• 1:3 multiplex mode: the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0, 1, and 2 to
three successive addresses. However, bit 2 of the third address is left unchanged.
This last bit can, if necessary, be controlled by an additional transfer to this address
but avoid overriding adjacent data because full bytes are always transmitted.
• 1:4 multiplex mode: the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0, 1, 2, and 3 to
two successive display RAM addresses.
7.11 Data pointer
The addressing mechanism for the display RAM is realized using the data pointer. This
allows the loading of an individual display data byte, or a series of display data bytes, into
any location of the display RAM. The sequence commences with the initialization of the
data pointer by the load-data-pointer command (see Table 12). Following this command,
an arriving data byte is stored at the display RAM address indicated by the data pointer.
The filling order is shown in Figure 10.
After each byte is stored, the content of the data pointer is automatically incremented by a
value dependent on the selected LCD drive mode:
•
•
•
•
In static drive mode by eight
In 1:2 multiplex drive mode by four
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode by three
In 1:4 multiplex drive mode by two
If an I2C-bus data access is terminated early then the state of the data pointer is unknown.
The data pointer should be re-written prior to further RAM accesses.
7.12 Subaddress counter
The storage of display data is conditioned by the contents of the subaddress counter.
Storage is allowed only when the contents of the subaddress counter agree with the
hardware subaddress applied to A0, A1, and A2. The subaddress counter value is defined
by the device-select command (see Table 13). If the content of the subaddress counter
and the hardware subaddress do not match then data storage is inhibited but the data
pointer is incremented as if data storage had taken place. The subaddress counter is also
incremented when the data pointer overflows.
In cascaded applications each PCA8534A in the cascade must be addressed separately.
Initially, the first PCA8534A is selected by sending the device-select command matching
the first device's hardware subaddress. Then the data pointer is set to the preferred
display RAM address by sending the load-data-pointer command.
Once the display RAM of the first PCA8534A has been written, the second PCA8534A is
selected by sending the device-select command again. This time however the command
matches the second device's hardware subaddress. Next the load-data-pointer command
is sent to select the preferred display RAM address of the second PCA8534A.

PCA8534A
NXP Semiconductors
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
This last step is very important because during writing data to the first PCA8534A, the
data pointer of the second PCA8534A is incremented. In addition, the hardware
subaddress should not be changed whilst the device is being accessed on the I2C-bus
interface.
7.13 Output bank selector
The output bank selector (see Table 14), selects one of the four rows per display RAM
address for transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the LCD
drive mode in operation and on the instant in the multiplex sequence.
• In 1:4 multiplex mode: all RAM addresses of row 0 are selected, followed sequentially
by the contents of row 1, row 2, and then row 3.
• In 1:3 multiplex mode: rows 0, 1, and 2 are selected sequentially.
• In 1:2 multiplex mode: rows 0 and 1 are selected.
• In the static mode: row 0 is selected.
The SYNC signal resets these sequences to the following starting points: row 3 for
1:4 multiplex, row 2 for 1:3 multiplex, row 1 for 1:2 multiplex and row 0 for static mode.
The PCA8534A includes a RAM bank switching feature in the static and 1:2 multiplex
drive modes. In static drive mode, the bank-select command may request the contents of
row 2 to be selected for display instead of the contents of row 0. In 1:2 multiplex drive
mode, the contents of rows 2 and 3 may be selected instead of rows 0 and 1. This
enables preparation of display information in an alternative bank and the ability to switch
to it once it has been assembled.
7.14 Input bank selector
The input bank selector loads display data into the display RAM in accordance with the
selected LCD drive configuration. Display data can be loaded in row 2 in static drive mode
or in rows 2 and 3 in 1:2 multiplex drive mode by using the bank-select command. The
input bank selector functions independently to the output bank selector.
7.15 Blinker
The display blinking capabilities of the PCA8534A are very versatile. The whole display
can be blinked at frequencies set by the blink-select command (see Table 15). The
blinking frequencies are fractions of the clock frequency. The ratios between the clock and
blinking frequencies depend on the mode in which the device is operating (see Table 7).

An additional feature is for the arbitrary selection of LCD segments to be blinked. This
applies to the static and 1:2 multiplex drive modes and is implemented without any
communication overheads. Using the output bank selector, the displayed RAM banks are
exchanged with alternate RAM banks at the blinking frequency. This mode can also be
specified by the blink-select command.
In the 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex modes, where no alternate RAM bank is available, groups of
LCD segments can be blinked by selectively changing the display RAM data at fixed time
intervals.
If the entire display needs to be blinked at a frequency other than the nominal blinking
frequency, this can be done using the mode-set command to set and reset the display
enable bit E at the required rate (see Table 11).
7.16 Characteristics of the I2C-bus
The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules.
The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial Clock Line (SCL). Both lines must
be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor when connected to the output
stages of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
7.16.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time
will be interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 11).

7.16.2 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy.
A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START
condition - S.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP
condition - P (see Figure 12).

7.16.3 System configuration
A device generating a message is a transmitter, a device receiving a message is the
receiver. The device that controls the message is the master and the devices which are
controlled by the master are the slaves (see Figure 13).

7.16.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by an acknowledge
cycle.
• A slave receiver, which is addressed, must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte.
• A master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte that
has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
• The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be taken into
consideration).

• A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition.
Acknowledgement on the I2C-bus is illustrated in Figure 14.

7.16.5 I2C-bus controller
The PCA8534A acts as an I2C-bus slave receiver. It does not initiate I2C-bus transfers or
transmit data to an I2C-bus master receiver. The only data output from the PCA8534A are
the acknowledge signals of the selected devices. Device selection depends on the
I2C-bus slave address, on the transferred command data and on the hardware
subaddress.
In single device applications, the hardware subaddress inputs A0, A1, and A2 are
normally tied to VSS which defines the hardware subaddress 0. In multiple device
applications A0, A1, and A2 are tied to VSS or VDD using a binary coding scheme, so that
no two devices with a common I2C-bus slave address have the same hardware
subaddress.
7.16.6 Input filters
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are
provided on the SDA and SCL lines.
7.16.7 I2C-bus protocol
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (0111 000 and 0111 001) are used to address the
PCA8534A. The entire I2C-bus slave address byte is shown in Table 8.

PCA8534A
NXP Semiconductors
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The PCA8534A is a write-only device and will not respond to a read access, therefore bit
0 should always be logic 0. Bit 1 of the slave address byte that a PCA8534A will respond
to, is defined by the level tied to its SA0 input (VSS for logic 0 and VDD for logic 1).
Having two reserved slave addresses allows the following on the same I2C-bus:
• Up to 16 PCA8534A for very large LCD applications
• The use of two types of LCD multiplex drive
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Figure 15. The sequence is initiated with a START
condition (S) from the I2C-bus master which is followed by one of two possible PCA8534A
slave addresses available. All PCA8534A whose SA0 inputs correspond to bit 0 of the
slave address respond by asserting an acknowledge in parallel. This I2C-bus transfer is
ignored by all PCA8534A whose SA0 inputs are set to the alternative level.

After an acknowledgement, one or more command bytes follow that define the status of
each addressed PCA8534A.
The last command byte sent is identified by resetting its most significant bit, continuation
bit CO (see Figure 16). The command bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed

The command bytes and control bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed
PCA8534A connected to the bus.
The display bytes are stored in the display RAM at the address specified by the data
pointer and the subaddress counter. Both data pointer and subaddress counter are
automatically updated.
The acknowledgement after each byte is made only by the (A0, A1 and A2) addressed
PCA8534A. After the last display byte, the I2C-bus master issues a STOP condition (P).
Alternatively a START may be issued to RESTART I2C-bus access.
7.17 Command decoder
The command decoder identifies command bytes that arrive on the I2C-bus. There are
five commands:

12. Application information
12.1 Cascaded operation
Large display configurations of up to 16 PCA8534A can be recognized on the same
I2C-bus by using the 3-bit hardware subaddress (A0, A1, and A2) and the programmable
I2C-bus slave address (SA0).

If cascaded PCA8534A are synchronized, they can share the backplane signals from one
of the devices in the cascade. This is cost-effective in large LCD applications because the
backplane outputs of only one device need to be through-plated to the backplane
electrodes of the display. The other PCA8534A in the cascade contribute additional
segment outputs but their backplane outputs are left open-circuit (see Figure 22).

Fig 22. Cascaded PCA8534A configuration
The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded
PCA8534A. Synchronization is guaranteed after a power-on reset. The only time that
SYNC is likely to be needed is if synchronization is accidentally lost (e.g. by noise in
adverse electrical environments or by defining a multiplex mode when PCA8534A with
different SA0 levels are cascaded).
SYNC is organized as an input/output pin. The output selection is realized as an
open-drain driver with an internal pull-up resistor. A PCA8534A asserts the SYNC line at
the onset of its last active backplane signal and monitors the SYNC line at all other times.
If synchronization in the cascade is lost, it is restored by the first PCA8534A to assert
SYNC. The timing relationship between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal
for the various drive modes of the PCA8534A are shown in Figure 23.

The contact resistance between the SYNC pins of cascaded devices must be controlled. If
the resistance is too high, the device will not be able to synchronize properly.

The PCA8534A can always be cascaded with other devices of the same type or
conditionally with other devices of the same family. This allows optimal drive selection for
a given number of pixels to display. Figure 20 and Figure 23 show the timing of the
synchronization signals.

In a cascaded configuration only one PCA8534A master must be used as clock source.
All other PCA8534A in the cascade must be configured as slave such that they receive
the clock from the master.
If an external clock source is used, all PCA8534A in the cascade must be configured such
as to receive the clock from that external source (pin OSC connected to VDD). Thereby it
must be ensured that the clock tree is designed such that on all PCA8534A the clock
propagation delay from the clock source to all PCA8534A in the cascade is as equal as
possible since otherwise synchronization artefacts may occur.
In mixed cascading configurations, care has to be taken that the specifications of the
individual cascaded devices are met at all times.

14. Handling information
All input and output pins are protected against ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) under
normal handling. When handling Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) devices ensure that
all normal precautions are taken as described in JESD625-A, IEC 61340-5 or equivalent
standards.
15. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
15.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
15.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:

15.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities
15.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 25) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 21 and 22

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 25.
