Pin Description
Data Bus
These are data bus for data transfer between MCU and RA8875.
When setting register number and register data, DB[7:0] is used.
When writing data to display RAM, DB[15:0] is used according to data
bus mode setting. DB[15:8] will be input and should be pull-low or pullhigh when 8-bit data bus mode is used.
Enable/Read Enable
When MCU interface (I/F) is 8080 series, this pin is used as RD# signal
(Data Read) , active low.
When MCU I/F is 6800 series, this pin is used as EN signal (Enable),
active high.
Write/Read-Write
When MCU I/F is 8080 series, this pin is used as WR# signal (data
write) , active low.
When MCU I/F is 6800 series, this pin is used as RW# signal (data
read/write control) . Active high for read and active low for write.
Chip Select Input
Low active chip select pin.
Command / Data Select Input
The pin is used to select command/data cycle. RS = 0, data Read/Write
cycle is selected. RS = 1, status read/command write cycle is selected.

5. Register
There are 4 types of cycles used in MCU interface of RA8875, please refer to Table 5-1 for detail. The
programming or reading of the registers in RA8875 is composed by the cycles. RA8875 includes a
status register and tens of instruction registers. The status register is read only and can be read by
“Status Read” cycle. The instruction registers, that is used to program almost functions, can be
programmed by “Command Write” cycle and “Data Write” cycle. The “Command Write” cycle sets the
register number to program, and the “Data Write” cycle set the data of the register. When reading the
specific instruction registers, MCU asserts a “Data read” cycle following the “Command Write cycle”. The
“Command Write” cycle sets the register number to program, and the “Data Read” cycle read the data of
the register. The instruction registers are classified to 15 categories as Table 5-2, most of which are
readable/writable. All of the registers will be illustrated in the following sections.

Note :
1. Default PLL output is as same as OSC clock (FIN) frequency.
2. After REG[88h] or REG[89h] is programmed, a lock time (< 100us) must be kept to guarantee
the stability of the PLL output.
3. The input OSC frequency (FIN) must greater than 15MHz and less than 30MHz. The internal
multiplied clock frequency FPLL = FIN * ( PLLDIVN [4:0] +1 ) must be equal to or greater
than 110 MHz. The following table is the reference setting of OSC clock (FIN) and REG[88h]

RA8875
Version 1.4
Character / Graphic TFT LCD Controller
The data bus width of RA8875 can be selected to 8-bit/16-bit by setting the Bit [1:0] of SYSR.
When Bit [1:0] of SYSR is cleared to “00”, then the data bus is 8-bit. If Bit [1:0] of SYSR is set to
“11”, then the data transition is set as16-bit. No matter what type of MCU I/F is selected
(6800/8080), both of them can be changed the bus width when need. But if the 8-bit is used, it
needs double transmission time than 16-bit bus and all of the registers must be accessed by 8bit data.
The continuous data write speed determines the display update speed. The cycle-to-cycle
interval must be larger than 4 times of system clock period. Over the specification may cause
the data lose or function fail. Please refer to Figure 6-5 and Figure 6-6 for waveform detail.
In order to reduce the transmission interference between MCU interface and RA8875, It is
suggested that a small capacitor to the GND should be added at the signal of CS#, RD#, WR#.
If using cable to connect MCU and RA8875, please keep the cable lengh less than 20cm.
Otherwise it’s suggested to add 1~10Kohm pull-up resistors on pins CS#, RD#, WR# and RS.

Figure 6-7 : The MCU Interface Diagram of 3-Wire SPI
RA8875 provides a SPI slave controller. The maximum clock rate of 3-Wire SPI is 2MHz. The SPI
I/F are available through the chip select line (ZCS), serial transfer clock line (SCK) and serial
input/output line (SDA). SCK is driven by the master controller, which is used to latch the SDA
signal when ZCS is active. The SPI can be configured in command/data write mode or status/data
read mode by setting MSB two bits of first byte of protocol. Before a data transmission begins, low
active ZCS must be set to low, and keep low until the transmission is finished. When the SPI
module is in command/data write mode (Figure 6-8, Figure 6-10), the 2nd byte of the protocol is
write data asserted by the master controller via SDA pin. When the SPI module is in status/data
read mode (Figure 6-9, Figure 6-11), the 2nd byte is the read data or status byte which is sent from
RA8875 to the controller via SDA according to the activation of SCK from the master controller.
Please refer to Figure 6-8, Figure 6-9, Figure 6-10 and Figure 6-11 for detail of the SPI protocol.

The 4-wire SPI I/F is similar with 3-wire SPI I/F, the only difference is the data signal. In 3-wire SPI
I/F, the bi-direction SDA signal is used as data and can be driven by slave/master controller. In 4wire SPI I/F. the SDA signal function is separated into SDI and SDO signal. SDI is the data pin from
the SPI master, SDO is the data output from the SPI slave. The maximum clock rate of 4-Wire SPI
is 2MHz. About the detail protocol, please refer to Figure 6-13, Figure 6-14, Figure 6-15 and Figure

The IIC I/F are accessed by only two bus line, SCK and SDA. It is compatible with standard IIC
interface. Only 100K bps and 400K bps modes are supported directly .The first 7bits of IIC protocol,
indicated as the IIC slave address to program in IIC Spec., is divided into 2 parts in RA8875. The
first 6 bits indicates the IIC device ID of RA8875. The next 1bit is RS bit which indicates the cycle
type. For RS = 1, the following cycle is a Command/Status. If RS = 0, it’s a data cycle. If the MSB
6bits of IIC address (Total 7 bits) match the RA8875 device ID, the RA8875 IIC slave is active.
The device ID of RA8875 is programmable, but only the 2bits of LSB, which can be set from the
IICA[1:0] pins directly. The other 4 bits of MSB is fixed to 0(Refer to Table 6-3). There are 4 types of
cycles for RA8875: “Command writes cycle”, “Status read cycle”, “Data write cycle”, and “Data read
cycle”. The cycle type is set by the RS bit and RW bit, about the detail protocol, please refer to

Read Status Register
The following Table 6-4 shows that RA8875 can be accessed under 4 different cycles, i.e. “Data
Write”, “Data Read”, “Command Write” and “Status read”. As it is introduced in the Chapter 5,
the status register is a read only register. If MCU executes the read cycle to RA8875 while /RS
pin is setting high, then data of status register will be read back to MCU. Please refer to the
Figure 6-23.

Write Command to Register
RA8875 contains dozens of registers. If users want to write a command into the register of
RA8875, they must execute the command write cycle first, i.e. the address of register, and then
execute the data write cycle for storing a new data into the target register. So “Write Command”
means that it will write a new data into the register. Please refer to the Figure 6-24 (1) for the
related access timing.

Memory Read / Write Operation
A signal memory(Note) memory read/write operation is composed by two cycles, a command
write cycle to the register “02h” then following a data read/write cycle. The command write cycle
of register “02h”, also called “memory read/write command”, sets RA8875 in memory read/write
mode. The data read/write cycle then performs the data latch/write to memory. When more
memory data are read or written, just doing the data read/write cycle again following the
previous data read/write cycle, don’t need to do the memory read/write command cycle again.
The data read/write cycles can keep doing until completing all data transfers. To note that it’s
not allowed to interlace the data read cycles and data write cycle in the memory read/write
mode. Because the cursor for memory read operation and memory write operation is different.
The data read/write cycles can interleave each other. For the detail description please refer to
the section 7-3. To note that the memory read operation should insert a “dummy read cycle”
before first data is read. The dummy read cycle is a data read cycle, but the data of the dummy
read cycle is un-used. The data read cycles after it will be the correct data. Please refer to the
waveform in Figure 6-25 for detail.
Note : The memory might be Display Data Memory(DDRAM) or Character Generation RAM
(CGRAM).

Interrupt and Wait
RA8875 provides 2 ways of hardware status reporting. Interrupt and polling. For interrupt
method, there is an interrupt pin “INT#” for triggering the external interrupt pin of MCU. For
polling method, it also supports an output signal pin “WAIT#” which can indicate RA8875 is busy
or not. Both of the two signals are both active low. Please refer to the Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2
for connecting reference.
6-1-6-1 Interrupt
There are five kinds of interrupt events for RA8875, each maps to the corresponding status
bits in REG[F1h]:
The MCU data access for Font or BTE is completed. Bit 0 of REG [F1h] is set to 1.
The font access is completed. Bit 0 of REG [F1h] is set to 1.
The moving/filling BTE function is completed. Bit 1 of REG [F1h] is set to 1.
Touch event occurs. Bit 2 of REG[F1h] is set to 1.
DMA event is completed.
KEYSCAN event is active.
All of the above interrupts function can be enable/disable by setting INTC1(REG[F0h]). In
addition, if the system of customer can not provide the hardware interrupt, RA8875 also
supports a software polling method; MCU can detect the interrupt status through the related
status flag. When hardware interrupts of RA8875 are active, the related interrupt masks
must be disable(Set to 1) first. There is an example for describing the interrupt procedure of
Touch Panel as below :
RA8875 sends an interrupt signal to MCU.
When MCU receives interrupt signal, the program counter (PC) will jump to ISR start
address.
In the mean time, the corresponding interrupt status flag of RA8875 will be set to “1”
(REG[F1h]). For example, when Touch event generates an interrupt, the Touch
Panel Interrupt Status bit will be set to “1”.
After the ISR completes, the status flag should be cleared, i.e., write “1” to the
corresponding bit of status register.
By software interrupt, user can read INTC2 register for detecting interrupt event without any
external device. Besides, Interrupt mask function is only applied to hardware interrupt, not
to INTC2 status flag. It should be noted that, INTC2 status flag must be cleared manually at
the tail of the ISR, i.e., writing the Bit2 of Register INTC2(REG[F1h]) with 1, because the
INTC2 status flag will not be cleared automatically.

RA8875
Version 1.4
Character / Graphic TFT LCD Controller
6-1-6-2 Wait
RA8875 also provides a wait signal, when the busy flag is cleared to “0”, it means that
RA8875 is busy and can not access the DDRAM. There are three ways in which busy may
occur :
1． When RA8875 is set as text mode for writing FONT, RA8875 need different
processing time for differnert FONT sizes to write to DDRAM, RA8875 can’t
receive MCU cycle any more during the time of font writing, because it is in the
status of memory writing busy.
2． When RA8875 is executing the memory clear function, it also generates the write
cycle of memory interface to clear the DDRAM and cause RA8875 is in the status
of memory write busy.
3． When processing BTE move function, RA8875 will automatically executing the
memory read/write cycle, at the time, any DDRAM read/write access by MCU will
cause a BTE fail.
4． When MCU is sending a command, RA8875 needs one system clock to latch the
command, if the clock frequency of MCU is much faster than the one of RA8875;
it is possible that RA8875 meets two or more commands in one system clock. In
the situation, it’s suggested that MCU should check the RA8875 busy status .In
the most other conditions, it doesn’t need to be checked.
If MCU writes data to DDRAM when memory writing busy, it will cause the lost of the writing
data. So user must check the RA8875 busy status in upper 4 situations.
In normally, user can connect “WAIT#” signal to MCU input. It is used for MCU to monitor
the busy status before writing data to RA8875.

External Serial Font ROM
The RA8875 supports the various fonts writing to DDRAM by using external Genitop Inc. serial
Font ROM. RA8875 is compatible with the following products of Genitop Inc.,
GT21L16TW/GT21H16T1W, GT23L16U2W, GT23L24T3Y/GT23H24T3Y, GT23L24M1Z, and
GT23L32S4W/GT23H32S4W. This various fonts include 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, and variablewidth font size.
There are 3 types of font code format, 1 byte/2 bytes/4 bytes data, as explained below :
1. 1 byte font code – ASCII code for all font ROMs
2. 4/2 bytes GB font code – The standard decoding of GB18030 in GT23L24M1Z
3. 2 bytes font code + 2 bytes Index code – Only used in UNI-CODE decoding of
GT23L16U2W
4. Other font code length are 2 bytes only
Before adapting the specific font ROM product, it is suggested that user should know the coding
rule of it first. For the detail of the mapping rule and characters set table, please contact with
Genitop Inc.
To note that in GT23L16U2W datasheet, the UNI-CODE font code needs to refer to extra table
called “ZFindex Table” to determine the actually bitmap ROM address, If user write a UNICODE in the range of 00A1h~33D5h or E76Ch~FFE5h, which is a special coding area, then the
extra 2bytes font code is needed for reference of “ZFindex table”. Other UNICODE code outside
the range only need 2 bytes of font code. About the detail, please also refer to the datasheet of
GT23L16U2W.
EX: If user will be written UNI-CODE (00A2) with GT23L16U2W, which is located in the range of
00A1h~33D5h, then MCU must write extra 2 bytes of font code indexed from ZFindex to
RA8875.

Using RA8875 4-wire Touch Panel function only need to connect the Touch Panel signals –
XR,XL,YD,YU to RA8875. It will continuously monitor the panel and wait for touch event. When touch
event is occurred, a divided voltage on panel caused by touch is sensed and transferred by ADC to
determine the location. After the value of X-axis and Y-axis are transferred and stored in
corresponding registers respectively, the Touch Panel controller will issue an interrupt to inform MCU
to process it.
The Figure 6-42 shows application circuit for 4-wire Touch Panel.
The pin ADC_VREF is the reference voltage input of ADC. The Bit5 of Register [71h] is used to
select the reference voltage from external or generated by RA8875. When use external reference
voltage, it need only add two resistors to generated 1/2 VDD (±5%) for ADC_VREF. And have to add
a capacitor (1~10uF) to GND to increase the stability of ADC.

6-8 Clock and PLL
The system clock of RA8875 is generated by the external crystal connected between pins XI and XO
(15MHz~30MHz). The clock is used as the source of internal PLL circuit to generate the system
clock for RA8875. The PLL output clock frequency is programmable by internal register((REG[88h]
and [89h]). The related description is shown below.
Figure 6-45 : Diagram for RA8875 System Clock
Formula for system clock frequency calculation of RA8875:
System Clock = Y1x ( PLLDIVN [4:0] +1 ) / ( ( PLLDIVM+1 ) x ( 2^PLLDIVK [2:0] ) )
Example:
Y1 = 15MHz
PLLDIVM = 0， ( PLLDIVMÎBit7 of REG[88h] )
PLLDIVN [4:0] = 01001b， ( PLLDIVNÎBit[4:0] of REG[88h] )
PLLDIVK [2:0] = 001b， ( PLLDIVKÎBit[2:0] of REG[89h] )
System Clock = 15MHz x ( 9+1 ) / ( ( 0+1 ) x ( 2^1 ) )
= 15MHz x10 / 2
= 75MHz
The default value of system clock frequency (SYS_CLK) is set as the same as the frequency of
external crystal (Fin). And it should be noted that, when REG[88h] or REG[89h] is programmed, to
make sure that the stability of the PLL output, a period of "frequency and phase lock time"(About
<30us) must be waited to complete the procedure of PLL frequency modification.

6-9 Reset
Before programming the RA8875, it’s suggested that a reset process should be done. The RA8875
requires a reset low pulse at least 1024 external crystal clock periods after power-on in order to reinitialize its internal state. If the external crystal frequency is 25MHz, then the Reset pulse is at least
40.96µs. For reliability consideration, it is not recommended to apply a DC voltage to the LCD panel
while the RA8875 is reset. Turn off the LCD power supplies for at least one frame period after the
start of the reset pulse.
Figure 6-46 : Suggestion circuit for RST# Pin
Figure 6-46 is an example for Reset application circuit. It could be controlled by MCU such as (1) of
Figure 6-46, or generated by a RC circuit such as (2) of Figure 6-46.
The RA8875 cannot receive commands while it is reset. Commands to initialize the internal registers
should be issued after the reset process complete. During period of ZRST keeping low, the LCD
driver signals such as PDATA, HSYNC and VSYNC may be halted and kept as L or H. A delay of
1ms (minimum) is required following the rising edges of RST# to allow for system stabilization.
Please refer to Figure 6-47 for more detail description.

7-1 Scroll Function
The RA8875 provides both horizontal scroll and vertical scroll function. By programming the “Offset
Value” of the display in the scroll window, the display can be shifted as the programmed offset and
that area that is shifted out of the right boundary will be “scrolled” cross the window and be displayed
from the starting of the display window, just like the effect of “scrolling”.
7-1-1
Scroll Window & Scroll Offset
The scroll window defines the range of scrolling function. The scroll offset defines the scroll effect of
the scroll windows. The display inside the range will be shifted with a scroll offset setting in the unit of
pixel. To increasing or decreasing the scroll offset by register will cause the effect of “scrolling”. The
area outside the range will not be affected by the “scroll offset”. The scroll window is set by two
points in display area, i.e., start point and end point. The start/end point is indicated by the method of
coordination. For the registers of scroll window and scroll offset. Please refer to Table 7-1 below.
Note that HSSW must be smaller than HESW, and VSSW must be smaller than VESW or the scroll

7-2-1
Active Window for Font Write
When executing the font write function in RA8875, the boundary of characters write will be
dominated by a window area called “Active Window”. The font write direction is left to right then
top to bottom as default. When the written character is met the horizontal right boundary, then
the font write cursor will jump to the left boundary of next line. If the next line position crosses
the bottom boundary. The cursor will jump to the starting of the window, i.e. the left and top
boundary. Figure 7-7 shows the effect of font write in active window. To note that, if the font
write cursor is set outside the area of active window, the character still writes at the position of
font write cursor. Until the right boundary or the display boundary is met. When it is met, the font
write cursor will change line then follows the rule of active window. Please refer to the Figure 7-8

7-3 Cursor & Pattern
According to different applications, RA8875 provides flexibility and powerful functions of cursor and
pattern. There are four kinds of cursors defined in RA8875, i.e. graphic cursor; memory read cursor,
memory write cursor and font write cursor. The graphic cursor provides a 32x32 pixels graphic cursor
which can be displayed at user-defined position. When the position is changed, the graphic cursor is
moved. The memory read cursor and memory write cursor is for the use of memory read/write. The
memory read/write cursor position move automatically after memory read/write cycle. The memory
write cursor defines the position that the data is written by memory write operation and read cursor is
defined separately that the data in it is read by memory read operation.
The memory write cursor defines the location that the data will be written in. The memory read
cursor and memory write cursor can be set as automatic moving or not separately. Also the move
directions of them can be individually programmed. The default settings of both are auto-increasing
with the direction left to right, top to down. To note that only the memory write cursor is visible. The
memory read cursor can’t be displayed in the panel. The font write cursor provides a text relative
cursor for font write function. The shape of it is a block and the height and width is programmable.
The display location of font write cursor indicates the location of text being currently written.
Besides, RA8875 also support the “Pattern” function. The “Pattern” is a print with 8x8/16x16 pixels of
size and at most 16bpp color depth for each pixel. The colors depth of pattern follows the setting of
REG[10h] bit 3-2. By operating with the BTE function, it can be used to duplicate and fill a print in a
specific area. And speed up the repeating writing operation and reduce the loading of MCU.
7-3-1
Cursor Type
7-3-1-1 Graphic Cursor
The size of graphic cursor is 32x32 pixels, each pixel is composed by 2-bit, which indicates 4
colors setting (color 0, color 1, background color, the inversion of background color). It
represents that a graphic cursor takes 256 bytes(32x32x2/8). RA8875 provides eight groups of
graphic cursor for selection; users could use them just by setting related registers. By the way,
the graphic cursor position is controlled by register GCHP0 (REG[80h]), GCHP1(REG[81h]),
GCVP0(REG[82h]) and GCVP1(REG[83h]). The color of it is set by register GCC0(REG[84h])/
GCC1(REG[85h])/ Background color/ Inversion of Background color, depending on the data of it.

Besides the graphic cursor and memory read cursor, the shape of the other 2 cursors is
programmable. The font write cursor is a block with height and width programmable. The
control register is CURHS(REG[4Eh]) and CURVS(REG[4Fh]). The memory write cursor is a
line with width programmable and height fixed to 1 pixel. The width control register is the
same as font write cursor, i.e. CURHS(REG[4Eh]). Please refer to Figure 7-13 and Figure
7-14 below. The height and width of font write cursor is also relative with an extra factors, the
font enlargement setting(REG[2Eh] Bit3~0). With the enlargement factor of 1, the width is set

Pattern
The RA8875 includes a pattern memory for pattern function. The data in the memory defines the
“pattern data”, a bitmap description for a figure. When 2D pattern relative function is active, the
specified pattern memory data will fill in specified area.
User can use REG[41h] to assign pattern memory to program, and use REG[66h] to specify
pattern format and pattern number to access. The RA8875 supports 8x8/16x16 pixels pattern
format. If pattern format is 8x8 pixels, then RA8875 can define at most 16 patterns for user’s
request. If pattern format is 16x16 pixels, then RA8875 can only define 4 patterns for user’s
request. The pattern number and pattern format will decide the memory location for accessing
pattern.

Organization for Standardization. The ISO/IEC 8859-1, generally called “Latin-1”, is the first 8-bit
coded character sets that developed by the ISO. It refers to ASCII that consisting of 192
characters from the Latin script in range 0xA0-0xFF. This character encoding is used throughout
Western Europe, includes Albanian, Afrikaans, Breton, Danish, Faroese, Frisian, Galician,
German, Greenlandic, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Latin, Luxembourgish, Norwegian, Portuguese,
Rhaeto-Romanic, Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, Swedish. English letters with no accent marks also
can use ISO/IEC 8859-1.
In addition, it is also commonly used in many languages outside Europe, such as Swahili,
Indonesian, Malaysian and Tagalong.

7-6 BTE (Block Transfer Engine) Function (Parallel MCU Interface Only)
The RA8875 embedded a built-in 2D Block Transfer Engine(BTE) which can increase the
performance of block transfer operation. When a block of data needs to be moved or do some logic
operation with dedicated data, RA8875 can speed up the operation by BTE hardware and also
simplify the MCU program. BTE function is compatible with 2D BitBLT standard function. This
section will discuss the BTE engine operation and functionality.
Before using the BTE function, use must select the corresponding BTE operation. RA8875 supports
13 BTE operations. About the operation description, please mention the Table 7-12 below. For each
BTE operation, maximum 16 raster operations (ROP) are supported for different application. They
could provide the different logic combinations for ROP source and ROP destination. Through the
combination of the BTE operation and ROP, user can achieve many useful application operations.
The ROP source or destination can be set as a rectangular of display area (block mode) or a
continuous memory section (Linear addressing mode). Please refer to the behind chapters for detail
description.
The BTE function has 2 methods for checking the completion of BTE process. One way is checking
busy by software, and the other way is using hardware interrupt. When BTE engine is operating, the
busy flag in the status register will be set, the bit responses the system is busy or not. BTE operation
is a kind of busy condition. User can read it to determine if it is done. (Please refer to Section 5-1
Status Register.) Hardware interrupt (INT#) is another way to check BTE process end, user can
enable interrupt function by REG[F0h] first. If BTE function completes, RA8875 will generate
hardware interrupt to note MCU, and user checks the interrupt status to confirm the BTE status.
When BTE is operating, it is suggested that the user should not write command to RA8875 except
REG[02h] or REG[F1h] to prevent the un-expected result. Please note the BTE function must use
under Graphic Mode (REG [40h] Bit7 = 0).

BTE Function Explaination
7-6-4-1 Write BTE with ROP
The Write BTE increases the speed of transferring data from MCU interface to the DDRAM.
The Write BTE with ROP fills a specified area of the DDRAM with data supplied by the
MCU. The Write BTE supports all 16 ROPs. It also supports both Destination Linear and
Destination Block modes. The Write BTE requires the MCU to provide data.
User can use this function by hardware interrupt or software check busy to get BTE process
status. If user checks BTE process status by software, the BECR0(REG[50h]) Bit7 or status
register(STSR) Bit6 can indicate the BTE status. By another way, user can check BTE
process status by hardware interrupt, the INT# must connect to MCU and REG[F1h] is used
to check the interrupt source comes from BTE when INT# is active.

7-6-4-5 Transparent Write BTE
The Transparent Write BTE increases the speed of transferring data from MCU interface to
the DDRAM. Once the Transparent Write BTE begins, the BTE engine remains active until
all pixels have been written.
“Transparent Write BTE” updates a specified area of the DDRAM with data supplied by the
MCU. Unlike “Write BTE” operation, the “Transparent Write BTE” will ignore the operation
of a dedicated color that is set as “Transparent Color”. In RA8875, the “Transparent Color”
is set as “BTE Foreground Color“ in the “Transparent Write BTE” operation. When the
source color of the operation meets the “Transparent Color”, no write function will be done.
This function is useful to copy a color image partially from MCU interface to the DDRAM.
When setting one color as the “transparent color”, the source pixel with the transparent
color is not transferred. This allows a fast paste function of a dedicated image to an
arbitrary background. For example, considering a source image has a red circle on a blue
background. By selecting the blue color as the transparent color and using the Transparent
Write BTE on the whole rectangles, the effect is a BTE of the red circle only. The
Transparent Write BTE supports both Destination Linear and Destination Block modes.

7-6-4-9 Color Expansion
“Color Expand” is a useful operation to translate monochromes data of MCU interface to
color one. In the operation, the source data will be treated as a monochromes bit-map. The
bit-wise data is translated to multi-bits per pixel color data by the setting of “BTE Foreground
Color” and “BTE Background Color”. The source bit “1” will be translated to “BTE Foreground
Color” and the source bit ”0” is translated to “BTE Background Color”. This function can
largely reduce the effort when system translation from mono system to color system. “Color
Expand” operation will be continuously feeding a 16-bit/8-bit (Reference MCU interface
setting) data package. When the end of the line is reached, any unused bits will be discarded.
The data for the next line will be taken from the next data package. Each bit is serially
expanded to the destination data starting from MSB to LSB.

7-6-4-11 Move BTE with Color Expansion
The “Move BTE with Color Expansion” takes a monochrome bitmap as the source and color
expands it into the destination. Color expansion moves all bits in the monochrome source to
pixels in the destination. All bits in the source set to one are expanded into destination pixels
of the selected foreground color. All bits in the source set to zero are expanded into pixels of
the selected background color.
The Move BTE with Color Expansion is used to accelerate monochrome to color translation
on the screen. A monochrome bitmap in off-screen memory occupies very little space and
takes advantage of the hardware acceleration. Since the foreground and background colors
are programmable, text of any color can be created.
The Move BTE with Color Expansion may move data from one rectangular area to another,
or it may be specified as linear. The linear configuration may be applied to the source or
destination. Defining the Move BTE as linear allows each line of the Move BTE area to be
placed directly after the previous line, rather than requiring a complete row of address space
for each line.

Lighten-Overlay Mode
The transparent mode makes the pixel of layer 1 with background color as “transparence”, that
is, Lighten-Overlay Mode provides further visual enhancement image which one image
gradually fades into another image. The following equation describes the lighten-overlay
technique used.
[r,g,b]Lighten-Overlay =χ[r,g,b] Layer 1 +(1- χ)[r,g,b] Layer 2
Where [r,g,b] is pixel data and χ is the weighting factor, it depends on the setting of LTPR1[3:0].
In other word, if LTPR1[3:0] is set as 0100b, the weighting factor χ is equal to 1/2. The
[r,g,b]Lighten-Overlay =1/2[r,g,b] Layer 1 + 1/2[r,g,b]Layer 2 .

7-8 Touch Panel Function
The one channel and 10 bits resolution A/D converter are implemented in RA8875 for 4-wire Touch
Panel application. The operation method and application information please refer to section 6-5.
There are two types of ADC operating mode for user selection: Auto mode or Manual mode. When
using the manual mode, the touch Event can be detected by an Interrupt signal or the flag detecting
(Polling flag status), it depends on the system configuration. The related descriptions are explained
as following.
There are 4 states for RA8875 touch panel controller: “Idle state”, “touch event checking state”,
“Latch X data state” and “Latch Y data state”. RA8875 provides 2 operation modes for it, that is auto
mode and manual mode. Auto mode runs the operations and justifies the touch event validation
automatically. The manual mode is preferred for some unstable or special applications. The
operation is controlled by manually. So users can arrange the state by themselves, it will be more
flexible than the auto mode.
When touch event is active, there are 2 detection methods provided by RA8875. Hardware interrupts
mode or software polling mode. Table 7-17 show the brief control method for the RA8875 touch
panel controller.

7-8-1-2 Manual Mode
The “Manual Mode” means that the operation states are manually operated by user. Including
“Touch event checking” 、 “Latch X data” and “Latch Y data”. The whole operations are
completed by setting the mode with register(TPCR1[1:0]). The advantage of using Manual Mode
is the flexibility for applications. The debounce time for X, Y data and mode switch time can be
decided by user. It will decrease the possibility of failures for Auto mode in some tough case.
Under the ”Manual Mode”, user needs to justify the validation of the touch event by continue
polling the status of register. Generally, an enough times of continue accessing the activity of
touch event from status register will be confirmed as a valid touch event. The method allows
more flexibility and less mistake of justification for different application, but more MCU resource
will be occupied.

Touch Event Detection Modes
Touch Event can be detected from “Interrupt Mode” or “Polling Mode” that depend on the
system configuration. The description of the “Interrupt Mode” and “Polling Mode” are explained
as following sections.
7-8-2-1 External Interrupt Mode
Under the “Interrupt Mode” RA8875 hardware interrupt pin(INT) must be connected correctly
to the MCU interrupt input pin first. The major processes are listed as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Enable Touch Panel function. ( REG[70h] Bit7 = 1 )
Set operation mode for TP controller as Auto mode or Manual mode.（REG[71h] Bit6）
Enable Touch Panel Interrupt. ( REG[F0h] Bit6 = 1 )
When interrupt asserts, the IP jumps to the entry of ISR and check if TP interrupt.
If yes, according to the operation mode, doing the data latch for X, Y axis.
Process the corresponding jobs for the touch event.
Clear the interrupt status bit. ( set REG[F1h] Bit2 = 1 ) and quit the ISR
7-8-2-2 Software Polling Mode
Under the ”Polling Mode”, no interrupt pin is needed for connection. The status of touch
event can be read from 3 methods. Listed as follows:
1. From the status register(STSR) bit 5. The status comes from the hardware directly and
don’t do any de-bounce for it. It is suggested to confirm the events by software debounce.
2. From TPXYL(REG[74h]) bit 7. The bit comes from the hardware directly too. It’s the
same as STSR bit 5.
3. From the INTC2(REG[F1h] bit2), the same behavior like the hardware interrupt. Just by
software polling the event of interrupt.
To sum up, programmer can check the status of Touch Panel Event from the Bit5 of STSR or
Bit2 of INTC2, the difference between those of two methods is described below :
1. The Bit5 of STSR reflects the current Touch status. When touch event occurring, the Bit5
is set to 1. On the other hand, Bit5 will be automatically updated to 0 without touch event
occurring. This method is usually used in the manual mode.
2. The Bit2 of INTC2 records the Touch Panel status. When a touch event is occurring, this
bit will be set to 1. But please take care that, the bit2 of INTC2 won’t be automatically
cleared to 0 after touch event is disappear; it need to be cleared by programmer. This
function is usually used in the external interrupt mode.
Note : The bit5 of STSR is controlled by ADC circuit directly, once the Touch Panel is
touched, this bit will be set to 1. If the touch event is unstable, it might need a debounced solution to make sure the touch event is valid. The bit5 of STSR is only
active at “Manual mode”. When setting RA8875 to “Auto-mode, the touch event will
be automatically checked. Only the valid touch event will cause the interrupt.

7-9 KEYSCAN
The key-scan controller in RA8875 provides a smart interface for key application. The related
registers of key-scan function are KSCR(REG[C0h], [C1h]), and KSDR(REG[C2h], [C3h], [C4h])..
The RA8875 Key-Scan controller features are given below :
1. Supporting with up-to 4x5 Key-Scan Matrix
2. Programmable setting of sampling times and scan frequency of Key-Scan
3. Adjustable long key-press timing
4. Multi-Key is available (up-to 3 keys at the same time)
5. The function of “Key stroke to wake-up the system”
KSCR is the KEYSCAN control and status register, it is used to configure the options for KEYSCAN,
such as data sample time, sample clock frequency or long key function enable etc. When key-press
is active, user can sense it from the interrupt of KEYSCAN. The status bit of KSCR2(REG[C1h]
bit1~0 will update the number of current key press. Then user can get the key code directly from
KSDR. Table 7-21 is the key code mapping to key-pad matrix for normal press(note). The key code
will be stored in KSDR0~2(REG[C2h~C4h]) when key was pressed. If it was a long time press(note),
then the key code is show as

Note : “Normal key” means a key press that qualified by the sample time of RA8875. “Long Key”
means a key press that keeps “pressed” for a specified long time period. That is, a “Long
Key” must be a “Normal Key” first. Sometimes they need to be separated for some
applications.

When the multi-key function is applied, the up to 3 pressed keys data will be saved in the register of
KSDR0, KSDR1 and KSDR2. Note that the order of keys saving is determined on the position(or key
code) of the keys, not the order of keys being pressed; please refer to the following example:
Press the key-code in turn of 0x34, 0x00 and 0x22, press multi-key at the same time, the key-code
will be saved in KSDR0~2:
KSDR0 = 0x00
KSDR1 = 0x22
KSDR2 = 0x34

Enabling the Key-Scan functions, programmer can use following methods to check keystroke.
1) Software check method: to know the key be pressed from keeping check the status of KeyScan (Bit-4 of INTC2 REG[F1h])
2) Hardware check method: to know the key be pressed from external interrupt signal
Please be aware that when key-scan interrupt enable bit(INTC1 bit 4) is set as “1” and key event of
interrupt happens, the interrupt status of Key-Scan (Bit-4 of INTC2) is always set to “1”, no matter
which method is used, programmer have to clear the status to 0 after reading the correct Key Code,
otherwise the interrupt will be kept that no more interrupt is generated again.
Besides, RA8875 allows the “Key-stroke wakeup function” for sleep mode. By setting the function on,
any legal key-stroke event can wakeup RA8875 from sleep mode. To sense the wakeup event,
RA8875 can assert hardware interrupt for MCU which can do software polling from RA8875. Table
7-24 lists the relative register and function description for reference.

7-10 DMA (Direct Memory Access)
DMA function provides a faster method for user to update/transfer mass data to DDRAM. The only
source of DMA function in RA8875 is external serial Flash/ROM interface. There are two kinds of
data type defined for the DMA source. One is continuous mode and the other is block mode. It
provides a flexible selection for user to apply. The destination of DMA function is dominated by active
window in DDRAM and the specific data in serial Flash/ROM is depended by Color Depth Setting
(REG[10h] Bit 3-2). When DMA function is active, the specific data in serial Flash/ROM (refer to
Figure 7-82) will be transferred one by one to DDRAM by RA8875 automatically. After the DMA
function is completed, an interrupt will be asserted to note MCU. About the detail operation, please
refer to following sections.

7-12 Sleep Mode
RA8875 provides a Sleep Mode function for power saving request. The Sleep mode stops the
system oscillator, DDRAM, Font ROM and ignores external signal in order to conserve power. But
the output status of PWM function is still keeping as register setting.
The device provides three wake-up methods for quitting from sleep mode. One is “Register Setting
Wakeup”, another method is “Touch Panel Event Wakeup”, and latest one is “KEYSCAN Event
Wakeup”. “Register Setting Wakeup” is to quit the sleep function by setting bit1 of REG[01h] to 0.
That is, wakeup function is operated by MCU. The “Touch Panel Event Wakeup” is another method
to wakeup RA8875 from sleep mode. One must set both REG [70h] bit7(TP enable) and bit3(TP
wakeup enable) to 1 before RA8875 enters sleep mode, and RA8875 will quit from sleep mode while
touch event occurring. To note that if TP manual mode is set, the “Wait for TP event” state must be
set or the “touch event” will not be detected. The third method for wakeup function is using the
“Keystroke Event”. Similar with previous TP wakeup, the enable bit of KEYSCAN function and
Wakeup function should be set. The KEYSCAN enable bit is REG[C0h] bit 7 and KEYSCAN wakeup
enable bit is REG[C1h] bit 7. Please set it as “1” before entering “Sleep mode”. Any keystroke of
KEY wills wakeup RA8875. It should be noted that when RA8875 quits from the sleep mode, the key
that is pressed will not be recorded by RA8875.
When wake-up event occurs, it is suggested that a period of time must be waited before accessing
RA8875. Because an extra delay time is needed for ensuring the stabilization of the oscillator and
the internal PLL, this delay time takes about 10ms to resume normal operation. The relative register
description is listed below.

the designing bug from GENITOP, but this
problem could be solved through the software
modification when needed.
