For writing to the registers, send the address byte first, then write the data to the register
(see Section 11.1.4 and Section 11.2.1). The address byte works as an address pointer.
For the succeeding registers, the address pointer is automatically incremented by 1 (see
Figure 5) and all following data are written into these register addresses. After register
18h, the auto-incrementing will stop and subsequent data are ignored.

Internal oscillator and clock output
Bit OSC enables or disables the internal oscillator. When the internal oscillator is used, bit
COE allows making the clock signal available on pin CLK. If this is not intended, pin CLK
should be left open. The design ensures that the duty cycle of the clock output is 50 : 50
(% HIGH-level time : % LOW-level time).

In applications where an external clock has to be applied to the PCA8551, bit OSC must
be set logic 1 and COE logic 0. In this case pin CLK becomes an input.
In power-down mode (see Section 8.3.1)
• if pin CLK is configured as an output, there is no signal on CLK
• if pin CLK is configured as an input, the signal on CLK can be removed.
Remark: A clock signal must always be supplied to the device if the display is enabled
(see bit DE in Table 7 on page 9). Removing the clock may freeze the LCD in a DC state,
which is not suitable for the liquid crystal.
8.2.2 Command: Display_ctrl_1

See Section 8.3.1.
Enhanced power drive mode
By setting the BOOST bit to logic 1, the driving capability of the display signals is
increased to cope with large displays with a higher effective capacitance. Setting this bit
increases the current consumption on VLCD.
8.2.2.2
Multiplex drive mode
MUX[1:0] sets the multiplex driving scheme and the associated backplane drive signals,
which are active. For further details, see Section 9.2 on page 17.

Blinking
The whole display blinks at frequencies selected by the blink control bits BL[1:0], see
Table 8. The blink frequencies are derived from the clock frequency. During the blank-out
phase of the blinking period, the display is turned off.
If an external clock with frequency fclk(ext) is used, the blinking frequency is determined by
Equation 1. For notation, see Section 9.2.

8.2.3.2
(1)
Line inversion (driving scheme A) and frame inversion (driving scheme B)
The waveforms used to drive LCD inherently produce a DC voltage across the display
cell. The PCA8551 compensates for the DC voltage by inverting the waveforms on
alternate frames or alternate lines. The choice of compensation method is determined
with the INV bit.
8.3 Starting and resetting the PCA8551
If the internal Power-On Reset (POR) is enabled by connecting pin PORE to VDD, the chip
resets automatically when VDD rises above the minimum supply voltage. No further action
is required.
If the internal POR is disabled by connecting pin PORE to VSS, the chip must be reset by
driving the RST pin (PCA8551A only) to logic 0 for at least 10 s, see Figure 6.

Reset pulse timing
Alternatively a software reset can be applied (see Section 8.3.4).
Following a reset, the register 00h has to be rewritten with 0h by the next command byte
or the address pointer AP[4:0] has to be set to the required address after a new START
procedure.
8.3.1 Power-down mode
After a reset, the PCA8551 remains in power-down mode. In power-down mode the
oscillator is switched off and there is no output on pin CLK. The register settings remain
unchanged and the bus remains active. To enable the PCA8551, bit DE (command
Display_ctrl_1, see Table 7 on page 9) must be set to logic 1.
8.3.2 Power-On Reset (POR)
If pin PORE is connected to VDD, the PCA8551 comprises an internal POR, which puts
the device into the following starting conditions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
All backplane and segment outputs are set to VSS
The selected drive mode is: 1:4 multiplex with 1⁄3 bias
Blinking is switched off
The address pointer is cleared (set to logic 0)
The display and the internal oscillator are disabled
The display registers are set to logic 0
Remark: The internal POR can be disabled by connecting pin PORE to VSS. In this case,
the internal registers are not defined and require a hardware reset according to
Section 8.3.3 or a software reset, see Section 8.3.4.
Remark: For power-on with a slowly starting power supply, see Section 16.1 on page 40.
8.3.3 Hardware reset: RST pin (only PCA8551A)
At power-on the PCA8551A can be reset to the following starting conditions by pulling pin
RST low:
• All backplane and segment outputs are set to VSS

8.4 Display data register mapping
The example in Table 10 and Figure 7 illustrates the segment and backplane mapping of
the display in relation to the display RAM.
For example, in 1:4 multiplex drive mode, the backplanes are served by signals COM0 to
COM3 and the segments are driven by signals SEG0 to SEG35. Contents of addresses
04h to 08h are allocated to the first row (COM0) starting with the LSB driving the leftmost
element and moving forward to the right with increasing bit position. If a bit is logic 0, the
element is off, if it is logic 1 the element is turned on. All register content is LSB to MSB
left to right. Addresses 09h to 0Dh serve COM1 signals, addresses 0Eh to 12h serve
COM2 signals, and addresses 13h to 17h serve COM3 signals.
For displays with fewer segments/elements the unused bits are ignored.

9.1 LCD bias generator
Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider of three
impedances connected between VLCD and VSS. These intermediate levels are tapped off
at positions of 1⁄3 and 2⁄3, or 1⁄2, depending on the bias mode chosen. To keep current
consumption to a minimum, on-chip low-power buffers provide these levels to the display.
9.2 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
Display_ctrl_1 command (see Table 7). 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 12.

A practical value for VLCD is determined by equating Voff(RMS) with a defined LCD
threshold voltage (Vth(off)), typically when the LCD exhibits approximately 10 % contrast. In
the static drive mode, a suitable choice is VLCD > 3Vth(off).
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.
Bias is calculated with Equation 2

--------------------1 + a bias

The values for abias are:
abias = 1 for 1⁄2 bias
abias = 2 for 1⁄3 bias
The RMS on-state voltage (Von(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 3:

where the values for n are
nMUX = 1 for static drive mode
nMUX = 2 for 1:2 multiplex drive mode

Discrimination is a term which is defined as the ratio of the on and off RMS voltages
(Von(RMS) to Voff(RMS)) across a segment. It can be thought of as a measurement of
contrast. Discrimination is determined from Equation 5:

The advantage of these LCD drive modes is a reduction of the LCD full scale voltage VLCD

• 1:4 multiplex (1⁄2 bias): V LCD = --------------------3
These compare with V LCD = 3V off  RMS  when 1⁄3 bias is used.
VLCD is sometimes referred as the LCD operating voltage.
9.2.1 Electro-optical performance
Suitable values for Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are dependent on the LCD liquid used. The
RMS voltage, at which a pixel will be switched on or off, determine the transmissibility of
the pixel.
For any given liquid, there are two threshold values defined. One point is at 10 % relative
transmission (at Vth(off)) and the other at 90 % relative transmission (at Vth(on)), see
Figure 11. For a good contrast performance, the following rules should be followed:

Von(RMS) (see Equation 3) and Voff(RMS) (see Equation 5) are properties of the display
driver and are affected by the selection of abias, nMUX, and the VLCD voltage.
Vth(off) and Vth(on) are properties of the LCD liquid and can be provided by the module
manufacturer. Vth(off) is sometimes named Vth. Vth(on) is sometimes named saturation
voltage Vsat.
It is important to match the module properties to those of the driver in order to achieve
optimum performance.

9.3 Backplane and segment outputs
9.3.1 Backplane outputs
The LCD drive section includes four backplane outputs COM0 to COM3, which must be
directly connected to the LCD. The backplane output signals are generated in accordance
with the selected LCD drive mode. If less than four backplane outputs are required, the
unused outputs can be left open-circuit.
• In 1:3 multiplex drive mode, COM3 carries the same signal as COM1, therefore these
two outputs can be tied together to give enhanced drive capabilities
• In 1:2 multiplex drive mode, COM0 and COM2, respectively, COM1 and COM3 all
carry the same signals and may 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
9.3.2 Segment outputs
The LCD drive section includes 36 segment outputs SEG0 to SEG35, which must be
directly connected to the LCD. The segment output signals are generated in accordance
with the multiplexed backplane signals and with data residing in the display registers.
When less than 36 segment outputs are required, the unused segment outputs must be
left open-circuit.

11.1 I2C-bus interface of the PCA8551A
The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs. 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. Data transfer may be initiated only
when the bus is not busy. Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not
busy. The PCA8551A acts as a slave receiver when being written to and as a slave
transmitter when being read from.

11.1.1 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
are interpreted as STOP or START conditions.

11.1.2 START and STOP conditions
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 19).
11.1.3 Acknowledge
Each byte of 8 bits is followed by an acknowledge cycle. An acknowledge is defined as
logic 0. A not-acknowledge is defined as logic 1.
When written to, the slave will generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte.
After the acknowledge, another byte may be transmitted. It is also possible to send a
STOP or START condition.
When read from, the master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception
of each byte. When the master receiver no longer requires bytes to be transmitted, it must
generate a not-acknowledge. After the not-acknowledge, either a STOP or START
condition must be sent.
Remark: The PCA8551A omits the not-acknowledge. After the last byte read, the end of
transmission is indicated by a STOP or START condition from the master.
A detailed description of the I2C-bus specification is given in Ref. 12 “UM10204”.
11.1.4 I2C interface protocol
The PCA8551A uses the I2C interface for data transfer. Interpretation of the data is
determined by the interface protocol.
11.1.4.1
Write protocol
After the I2C slave address is transmitted, the PCA8551A requires that the register
address pointer is defined. It can take the value 00h to 17h. Values outside of that range
will result in the transfer being ignored, however the slave will still respond with
acknowledge pulses.
After the register address has been transmitted, write data is transmitted. The minimum
number of data write bytes is 0 and the maximum number is unlimited. After each write,
the address pointer increments by one. After address 17h, the address pointer stops
incrementing at 18h.

11.2 SPI-bus interface of the PCA8551B
Data transfer to the device is made via a 3-line SPI-bus (see Table 15). There is no
dedicated output data line. The SPI-bus is initialized whenever the chip enable line pin CE
is pulled down.

The chip enable must not be wired permanently LOW.
11.2.1 Data transmission
The chip enable signal is used to identify the transmitted data. Each data transfer is a byte
with the Most Significant Bit (MSB) sent first.
The transmission is controlled by the active LOW chip enable signal CE. The first byte
transmitted is the register address comprising of the address pointer and the R/W bit.

in the transfer being ignored.
After the register address has been transmitted, write data is transmitted. The minimum

11.3 EMC detection
The PCA8551 is ruggedized against EMC susceptibility; however it is not possible to
cover all cases. To detect if a severe EMC event has occurred, it is possible to check the
responsiveness of the device by reading its registers.

CAUTION
This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Observe precautions for handling
electrostatic sensitive devices.
Such precautions are described in the ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC/ST 61340-5, JESD625-A or
equivalent standards.
CAUTION
Static voltages across the liquid crystal display can build up when the LCD supply voltage
(VLCD) is on while the IC supply voltage (VDD) is off, or vice versa. This may cause unwanted
display artifacts. To avoid such artifacts, VLCD and VDD must be applied or removed together.

16. Application information
16.1 Power-on with a slowly starting power supply
The built-in POR block acts on the rising edge of the VDD supply voltage. It is designed to
react to fast slopes. If the system supply starts slowly, it is recommended to initiate a
software reset immediately after power-on.
16.2 I2C acknowledge after power-on
If the bus does not show an acknowledge at the first access, the command should be sent
a second time.
16.3 Resistors on I/O pins
The pin PORE comprises an internal, latching pull-down device, which keeps the input at
a low potential when left open. If the input is supposed to be at logic 0 potential, this pin
can be either connected to VSS or left open.
In case the pin is supposed to be at logic 1 potential, it must be connected to VDD to avoid
any cross-current during power-up. A series resistance between VDD and PORE must not
exceed 1 k to ensure proper functionality.

19. 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.
20. Packing information
20.1 Tape and reel information
For tape and reel packing information, see Ref. 11 “SOT362-1_118” on page 50.
21. 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”.
21.1 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.
21.2 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:
• Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
• Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
• The moisture sensitivity level of the packages

• Package placement
• Inspection and repair
• Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
21.3 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
21.4 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 31) 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 22 and 23
Table 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 31.
