Rev. 04 — 5 March 2010
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCF8533 is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any LCD1 with low
multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or multiplexed LCD containing
up to four backplanes and up to 80 segments and can easily be cascaded for larger LCD
applications. The PCF8533 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-incremental addressing, by hardware
subaddressing and by display memory switching (static and duplex drive modes).

7. Functional description
The PCF8533 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 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 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 PCF8533.
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 (pins VDD, VSS and VLCD) and the LCD panel selected for the application.
7.1 Power-on reset
At power-on the PCF8533 resets to the following starting conditions:
1. All backplane outputs are set to VLCD.
2. All segment outputs are set to VLCD.
3. The selected drive mode is: 1:4 multiplex with 1⁄3 bias.
4. Blinking is switched off.
5. Input and output bank selectors are reset.

6. The I2C-bus interface is initialized.
7. The data pointer and the subaddress counter are cleared (set to logic 0).
8. The display is disabled.
Remark: Do not transfer data on the I2C-bus for at least 1 ms after a power-on 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 (see Table 10) 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.

7.5 Oscillator
The internal logic and the LCD drive signals of the PCF8533 are timed by a frequency fclk,
which either is derived from the built-in oscillator frequency fosc or equals an external clock
frequency fclk(ext).
f osc
f clk = -------64
The clock frequency fclk determines the LCD frame frequency ffr (see Table 6) and is
calculated as follows:
f clk
f fr = -------24
Table 6.
LCD frame frequency
Nominal clock frequency (Hz)
LCD frame frequency (Hz)
1536
64
7.5.1 Internal clock
The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting pin OSC to VSS. In this case the output
from pin CLK provides the clock signal for cascaded PCF8533s in the system.
7.5.2 External clock
Pin CLK is enabled as an external clock input by connecting pin OSC to VDD.
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 PCF8533 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 synchronization signal (SYNC) maintains the correct timing relationship
between the PCF8533s in the system. The timing also generates the LCD frame signal
(ffr) whose frequency is derived as an integer division of the clock frequency fclk (see
Table 6), applied to pin CLK from either the internal or an external clock.
7.7 Display register
The display register holds the display data while the corresponding multiplex signals are
generated. There is a one-to-one relationship between the data in the display register, the
LCD segment outputs and each column of the display RAM.
7.8 Segment outputs
The LCD drive section includes 80 segment outputs (S0 to S79) which must be connected
directly to the LCD. The segment output signals are generated in accordance with the
multiplexed backplane signals and with data residing in the display register. If less than
80 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.
If less than four backplane outputs are required the unused outputs can be left
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 80 × 4 bit RAM which stores LCD data. A logic 1 in the RAM
bit map indicates the on-state of the corresponding LCD element; 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 display RAM bit map Figure 9 shows rows 0 to 3 which
correspond with the backplane outputs BP0 to BP3, and columns 0 to 79 which
correspond with the segment outputs S0 to S79. 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.

When display data is transmitted to the PCF8533, the received display bytes 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 multiplex drive mode, data is stored singularly, in pairs, triples or quadruples.
To illustrate the filling order, an example of a 8-segment numeric display showing all drive
modes is given in Figure 10; the RAM filling organization depicted applies equally to other
LCD types.

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The following applies to Figure 10:
• In static drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed into row 0 of eight
successive 4-bit RAM words.
• In 1:2 multiplex mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into
row 0 and 1 of four successive 4-bit RAM words.
• In 1:3 multiplex mode the eight bits are placed in triples into row 0, 1, and 2 of three
successive 4-bit RAM words, with bit 3 of the third address left unchanged. It is not
recommended to use this bit in a display because of the difficult addressing. This last
bit may, if necessary, be controlled by an additional transfer to this address, but care
should be taken to avoid overwriting adjacent data because always full bytes are
transmitted.
• In the 1:4 multiplex mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples into
row 0, 1, 2, and 3 of two successive 4-bit RAM words.
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 11). 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 terminates early, the state of the data pointer is unknown.
Consequently, the data pointer must be rewritten prior to further RAM accesses.
7.12 Subaddress counter
The storage of display data is conditioned by the content of the subaddress counter.
Storage is allowed only when the content of the subaddress counter match with the
hardware subaddress applied to A0, A1, and A2. The subaddress counter value is defined
by the device-select command (see Table 12). 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 PCF8533 in the cascade must be addressed separately.
Initially, the first PCF8533 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.

PCF8533
NXP Semiconductors
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
Once the display RAM of the first PCF8533 has been written, the second PCF8533 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 PCF8533.
This last step is very important because during writing data to the first PCF8533, the data
pointer of the second PCF8533 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 13) selects one of the four rows per display RAM
address for transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the
particular 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, these are followed by
the contents of row 1, 2, and then 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 static mode, row 0 is selected
The SYNC signal resets 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
row 2 to be selected for display instead of the contents of row 0. In the 1:2 mode, the
contents of rows 2 and 3 may be selected instead of rows 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.
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 PCF8533 has a very versatile display blinking capability. The whole display can blink
at a frequency selected by the blink-select command. Each blink frequency is a fraction of
the clock frequency. The ratio between the clock frequency and blink frequency depends
on the blink mode selected, as shown in Table 7.
The entire display can be blinked at a frequency other than the nominal blink frequency by
sequentially resetting and setting the display enable bit E at the required rate using the
mode-set command.

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
An additional feature allows an arbitrary selection of LCD segments to be blinked in the
static and 1:2 drive modes. This is implemented without any communication overheads by
the output bank selector which alternates the displayed data between the data in the
display RAM bank and the data in an alternative RAM bank at the blink frequency. This
mode can also be implemented by the blink-select command.
In the 1:3 and 1:4 drive modes, where no alternate RAM bank is available, groups of LCD
elements can be blinked by selectively changing the display RAM data at fixed time
intervals.

8. I2C-bus interface
8.1 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.
By connecting pin SDAACK to pin 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 pin 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 separating 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 pin to the system SDA line to guarantee a valid LOW level.
The following definition assumes SDA and SDAACK are connected and refers to the pair
as SDA.
8.1.1 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
will be interpreted as a control signal; see Figure 11.

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);
see Figure 12. A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is
defined as the STOP condition (P).

A device generating a message is a transmitter; a device receiving a message is a
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.

8.1.3 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.

8.1.4 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, the transferred command data and 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.
8.1.5 Input filters
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are
provided on the SDA and SCL lines.
8.1.6 I2C-bus protocol
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (0111 000 and 0111 001) are reserved for the PCF8533.
The least significant bit of the slave address is bit R/W. The PCF8533 is a write-only
device. It will not respond to a read access, so this bit should always be logic 0. The
second bit of the slave address is defined by the level tied at input SA0. Two displays
controlled by PCF8533 can be recognized on the same I2C-bus which allows:
• Up to 16 PCF8533s on the same I2C-bus for very large LCD applications
• The use of two types of LCD multiplex drive mode on the same I2C-bus
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 the available PCF8533
slave addresses. All PCF8533s with the same SA0 level acknowledge in parallel to the
slave address. All PCF8533s with the alternative SA0 level ignore the whole I2C-bus
transfer.

After acknowledgement, the control byte is sent defining if the next byte is a RAM or
command information. The control byte also defines if the next byte is a control byte or
further RAM or command data (see Figure 16 and Table 8). In this way it is possible to
configure the device and then fill the display RAM with little overhead.

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 asserts a STOP condition (P).
Alternatively a START may be asserted to RESTART an I2C-bus access.

13. Application information
13.1 Cascaded operation
Large display configurations of up to sixteen PCF8533s 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).

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
Figure 22).

Fig 22. Cascaded PCF8533 configuration
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 pin; 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 relationships between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC
signal for the various drive modes of the PCF8533 are shown in Figure 23.

The contact resistance between the SYNC pins 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 19 shows the limiting values for contact
resistance.
