FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PCF8533 is a versatile peripheral device designed to interface any microprocessor/microcontroller to a wide variety
of LCDs. It can directly drive any static or multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 80 segments.
The display configurations possible with the PCF8533 depend on the number of active backplane outputs required; a
selection of display configurations is given in Table 1.
All of the display configurations given in Table 1 can be implemented in the typical system shown in Fig.2.
The host microprocessor/microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication channel with the PCF8533.
The internal oscillator is selected by connecting pad OSC to VSS. The appropriate biasing voltages for the multiplexed
LCD waveforms are generated internally. The only other connections required to complete the system are to the power
supplies (VDD, VSS and VLCD) and the LCD panel selected for the application.

PCF8533
The biasing configurations that apply to the preferred
modes of operation, together with the biasing
characteristics as functions of VOP and the resulting
discrimination ratios (D), are given in Table 2.
Power-on reset
At Power-on the PCF8533 resets to a starting condition as
follows:
1. All backplane outputs are set to VLCD.
4. Blinking is switched off.
A practical value for VOP 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 VOP > 3Vth.
5. Input and output bank selectors are reset (as defined
in Table 5).
Multiplex drive ratios of 1 : 3 and 1 : 4 with 1⁄2bias are
possible but the discrimination and hence the contrast
6. The I2C-bus interface is initialized.
ratios are smaller ( 3 = 1.732 for 1 : 3 multiplex or
2. All segment outputs are set to VLCD.
3. The drive mode ‘1 : 4 multiplex with 1⁄3bias’ is selected.
7. The data pointer and the subaddress counter are
cleared.

8. Display disabled.
The advantage of these modes is a reduction of the LCD
full-scale voltage VOP as follows:
Data transfers on the I2C-bus should be avoided for 1 ms
following Power-on to allow completion of the reset action.

Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an
internal voltage divider of the three series resistors
connected between VLCD and VSS. The centre resistor can
be switched out of the circuit to provide a 1⁄2bias voltage
level for the 1 : 2 multiplex configuration.

These compare with VOP = 3Voff(rms) when 1⁄3bias is used.
Note: VOP = VLCD.
LCD voltage selector
The LCD voltage selector co-ordinates the multiplexing of
the LCD in accordance with the selected LCD drive
configuration. The operation of the voltage selector is
controlled by MODE SET commands from the command
decoder.

6.5.1
6.8
Oscillator
6.9
The clock frequency (fCLK) determines the LCD frame
frequency.
A clock signal must always be supplied to the device;
removing the clock may freeze the LCD in a DC state.
Timing
The timing of the PCF8533 organizes 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 synchronization signal
(SYNC) maintains the correct timing relationship between
the PCF8533s in the system. The timing also generates
the LCD frame frequency which it derives as an integer
division of the clock frequency (see Table 3). The frame
frequency is a fixed division of the internal clock or of the
frequency applied to pad CLK when an external clock is
used.
6.7
6.10
Display RAM
The display RAM is a static 80 × 4-bit RAM which stores
LCD data. A logic 1 in the RAM bit map indicates the
on-state of the corresponding LCD segment; similarly, a
logic 0 indicates the off-state. There is a one-to-one
correspondence between the RAM addresses and the
segment outputs, and between the individual bits of a RAM
word and the backplane outputs. The first RAM column
corresponds to the 80 segments operated with respect to
backplane BP0 (see Fig.8). In multiplexed LCD
applications the segment data of the second, third and
fourth column of the display RAM are time-multiplexed
with BP1, BP2 and BP3 respectively.
Display register
The display latch holds the display data while the
corresponding multiplex signals are generated. There is a
one-to-one relationship between the data in the display
latch, the LCD segment outputs and one column of the
display RAM.
1999 Jul 30
Backplane outputs
The LCD drive section includes four backplane outputs
BP0 to BP3 which should be connected directly 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 the 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 the 1 : 2 multiplex drive mode
BP0 and BP2, BP1 and BP3 respectively carry the same
signals and may also be paired to increase the drive
capabilities. In the 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.
EXTERNAL CLOCK
The condition for external clock is made by tying pad OSC
to VDD; pad CLK then becomes the external clock input.
6.6
Segment outputs
The LCD drive section includes 80 segment outputs
(S0 to S79) which should be connected directly to the
LCD. The segment output signals are generated in
accordance with the multiplexed backplane signals and
with data resident in the display latch. When less than
80 segment outputs are required the unused segment
outputs should be left open-circuit.
INTERNAL CLOCK
The internal logic and the LCD drive signals of the
PCF8533 are timed either by the built-in oscillator or from
an external clock. When the internal oscillator is used, pad
OSC should be connected to VSS. In this event, the output
from pad CLK provides the clock signal for cascaded
PCF8533s in the system. After power-up, SDA must be
HIGH to guarantee that the clock starts.
6.5.2

Philips Semiconductors
Product specification
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
When display data is transmitted to the PCF8533 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 the acknowledge
cycle as with the commands. Depending on the current
mux mode data is stored singularly, in pairs, triplets or
quadruplets. e.g. in 1 : 2 mux mode the RAM data is stored
every second bit. To illustrate the filling order, an example
of a 7-segment numeric display showing all drive modes is
given in Fig.9; the RAM filling organization depicted
applies equally to other LCD types. With reference to
Fig.9, in the static drive mode the eight transmitted data
bits are placed in bit 0 of eight successive display RAM
addresses. In the 1 : 2 multiplex drive mode the eight
transmitted data bits are placed in bits 0 and 1 of four
successive display RAM addresses.
PCF8533
In the 1 : 3 multiplex drive mode these bits are placed in
bits 0, 1 and 2 of three successive addresses, with bit 2 of
the third address left unchanged. This last bit may, if
necessary, be controlled by an additional transfer to this
address but care should be taken to avoid overriding
adjacent data because full bytes are always transmitted.
In the 1 : 4 multiplex drive mode the eight transmitted data
bits are placed in bits 0, 1, 2 and 3 of two successive
display RAM addresses.

Data pointer
In 1 : 4 multiplex, all RAM addresses of bit 0 are selected,
these are followed by the contents of bit 1, bit 2 and then
bit 3. Similarly in 1 : 3 multiplex, bits 0, 1 and 2 are
selected sequentially. In 1 : 2 multiplex, bits 0 and 1 are
selected and, in the static mode, bit 0 is selected.
The SYNC signal will reset these sequences to the
following starting points; bit 3 for 1 : 4 multiplex, bit 2 for
1 : 3 multiplex, bit 1 for 1 : 2 multiplex and bit 0 for static
mode.
The PCF8533 includes a RAM bank switching feature in
the static and 1 : 2 multiplex drive modes. In the static
drive mode, the BANK SELECT command may request
the contents of bit 2 to be selected for display instead of
the contents of bit 0. In the 1 : 2 drive mode, the contents
of bits 2 and 3 may be selected instead of bits 0 and 1.
This gives the provision for preparing display information
in an alternative bank and to be able to switch to it once it
is assembled.
Subaddress counter
The storage of display data is conditioned by the contents
of the subaddress counter. Storage is allowed to take
place 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. If the contents of the
subaddress counter and the hardware subaddress do not
agree 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.
6.14
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 bit 2 in static
drive mode or in bits 2 and 3 in 1 : 2 drive mode by using
The storage arrangements described lead to extremely
efficient data loading in cascaded applications. When a
series of display bytes are sent to the display RAM,
automatic wrap-over to the next PCF8533 occurs when
the last RAM address is exceeded. Subaddressing across
device boundaries is successful even if the change to the
next device in the cascade occurs within a transmitted
character (such as during the 27th display data byte
transmitted in 1 : 3 multiplex mode).
The hardware subaddress should not be changed whilst
the device is being accessed on the I2C-bus interface.
1999 Jul 30
Output bank selector
The output bank selector selects one of the four bits per
display RAM address for transfer to the display latch.
The actual bit selected depends on the particular LCD
drive mode in operation and on the instant in the multiplex
sequence.
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. Following this, an
arriving data byte is stored starting at the display RAM
address indicated by the data pointer thereby observing
the filling order shown in Fig.9. The data pointer is
automatically incremented in accordance with the chosen
LCD configuration. That is, after each byte is stored, the
contents of the data pointer are incremented by eight
(static drive mode), by four (1 : 2 multiplex drive mode), by
three (1 : 3 multiplex drive mode) or by two (1 : 4 multiplex
drive mode). If an I2C-bus data access is terminated early
then the state of the data pointer will be unknown. The data
pointer should be re-written prior to further RAM accesses.

An additional feature is for an arbitrary selection of LCD
segments to be blinked. This applies to the static and
1 : 2 LCD drive modes and can be implemented without
any communication overheads. By means of 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 command.
Blinker
The display blinking capabilities of the PCF8533 are very
versatile. The whole display can be blinked at frequencies
selected by the BLINK command. The blinking frequencies
are integer multiples of the clock frequency. The ratios
between the clock and blinking frequencies depend on the
mode in which the device is operating, see Table 4.
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 is to be blinked at a frequency other than the nominal blinking frequency, this can be effectively
performed by resetting and setting the display enable bit E at the required rate using the MODE SET command.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE I2C-BUS
By connecting SDAACK to SDA on the PCF8533, the SDA
line becomes fully I2C-bus compatible. Having the
acknowledge output separated from the serial data line is
advantageous in Chip-On-Glass (COG) applications.
In COG applications where the track resistance from the
SDAACK pad to the system SDA line can be significant, a
potential divider is generated by the bus pull-up resistor
and the Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) track resistance. It is
possible that during the acknowledge cycle the PCF8533
will not be able to create a valid logic 0 level. By splitting
the SDA input from the output the device could be used in
a mode that ignores the acknowledge bit. In COG
applications where the acknowledge cycle is required, it is
necessary to minimize the track resistance from the
SDAACK pad to the system SDA line to guarantee a valid
low level.
7.5
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. Bit
transfer is illustrated in Fig.10.
In single device application, 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 in
accordance with a binary coding scheme such that no two
devices with a common I2C-bus slave address have the
same hardware subaddress.
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). The START
and STOP conditions are illustrated in Fig.11.
7.3
7.6
Input filters
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse
environments, RC low-pass filters are provided on the
SDA and SCL lines.
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’. The system
configuration is illustrated in Fig.12.
1999 Jul 30
PCF8533 I2C-bus controller
The PCF8533 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 PCF8533
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.
The following definition assumes SDA and SDAACK are
connected and refers to the pair as SDA.
7.2
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 bit. The acknowledge bit is a HIGH level
signal put on the bus by the transmitter during which time
the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock
pulse. A slave receiver which is addressed must generate
an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. Also 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 Fig.13.
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.

In this way it is possible to configure the device then fill the
display RAM with little overhead.
I2C-bus protocol
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (01110000 and 01110010)
are reserved for the PCF8533. The least significant bit of
the slave address that a PCF8533 will respond to is
defined by the level tied at its input SA0. The PCF8533 is
a write only device and will not respond to a read access.
Therefore, two types of PCF8533 can be distinguished on
the same I2C-bus which allows:
The command bytes and control bytes are also
acknowledged by all addressed PCF8533s 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 and the data is directed to the
intended PCF8533 device.
1. Up to 16 PCF8533s on the same I2C-bus for very large
LCD applications
2. The use of two types of LCD multiplex on the same
I2C-bus.
The acknowledgement after each byte is made only by the
(A0, A1 and A2) addressed PCF8533. After the last
display byte, the I2C-bus master issues a STOP
condition (P). Alternatively a START may be issued to
RESTART an I2C-bus access.
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Fig.14. The sequence is
initiated with a START condition (S) from the I2C-bus
master which is followed by one of the two PCF8533 slave
addresses available. All PCF8533s with the corresponding
SA0 level acknowledge in parallel to the slave address, but
all PCF8533s with the alternative SA0 level ignore the
whole I2C-bus transfer.
7.8
Command decoder
The command decoder identifies command bytes that
arrive on the I2C-bus. The five commands available to the
PCF8533 are defined in Table 5.
After acknowledgement, a control byte follows which
defines if the next byte is RAM or command information.
The control byte also defines if the next following byte is a
control byte or further RAM/command data.

The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct
synchronization between all cascaded PCF8533s. This
synchronization is guaranteed after the 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 the definition of a
multiplex mode when PCF8533s with different SA0 levels
are cascaded). SYNC is organized as an input/output pad;
the output selection being realized as an open-drain driver
with an internal pull-up resistor. A PCF8533 asserts the
SYNC line at the onset of its last active backplane signal
and monitors the SYNC line at all other times. Should
synchronization in the cascade be lost, it will be restored
by the first PCF8533 to assert SYNC. The timing
relationship between the backplane waveforms and the
SYNC signal for the various drive modes of the PCF8533
are shown in Fig.17.

The contact resistance between the SYNC pads of
cascaded devices must be controlled. If the resistance is
too high then the device will not be able to synchronize
properly. This is particularly applicable to COG
applications. Table 15 shows the limiting values for
contact resistance.

7.9
Display controller
The display controller executes the commands identified
by the command decoder. It contains the status registers
of the PCF8533 and co-ordinates their effects.
The controller is also responsible for loading display data
into the display RAM as required by the filling order.
1999 Jul 30
Cascaded operation
In large display configurations, up to 16 PCF8533s can be
distinguished on the same I2C-bus by using the 3-bit
hardware subaddress (A0, A1 and A2) and the
programmable I2C-bus slave address (SA0). When
cascaded PCF8533s are synchronized they can share the
backplane signals from one of the devices in the cascade.
Such an arrangement is cost-effective in large LCD
applications since the backplane outputs of only one
device need to be through-plated to the backplane
electrodes of the display. The other PCF8533s of the
cascade contribute additional segment outputs but their
backplane outputs are left open-circuit (see Fig.16).
