General Description
The NT7501 is a single-chip LCD driver for dot-matrix liquid
crystal displays, which is directly connectable to a
microcomputer bus. It accepts 8-bit serial or parallel display
data directly sent from a microcomputer and stores it in an
on-chip display RAM. It generates a LCD drive signal
independent of the microprocessor clock.
As a total of 133 circuits of common and segment outputs
are incorporated, a single chip of NT7501 can make 33 X
100 dots displays.
No external operation clock is required for RAM read/write
operations. Accordingly, this driver can be operated with
minimum current consumption and its on-board low-currentconsumption liquid crystal power supply can implement a
high-performance handy display system with minimal current
consumption and a minute LSI configuration.
The set of the on-chip display RAM of 65 X 132 bits, and a
one-to-one correspondence between the LCD panel pixel
dots and the on-chip RAM bits, permits implementation of
displays with a high degree of freedom.

Serial Interface (P/S is low)
The serial interface consists of an 8-bit shift register and a 3-bit counter. The serial data input and serial clock input are enabled
when CS1 is low and CS2 is high (in chip select status). When the chip is not selected, the shift register and counter are reset.
The serial data of D7, D6, D0 are read at D7 in this sequence when the serial clock (SCL) goes high. They are converted into
8-bit parallel data and processed on rising edge of every eighth serial clock signal.
The serial data input (SI) is determined to be the display data when A0 is high, and the control data when A0 is low. A0 is read
on the rising edge of every eighth clock signal.
Figure1 shows a timing chart of serial interface signals. The serial clock sign must be terminated correctly against termination
reflection and ambient noise. Operation checkout on the actual machine is recommended.

Chip Select Inputs
The NT7501 has two chip select pads, CS1 and CS2 can interface to a microprocessor when CS1 is low and CS2 is high.
When these pads are set to any other combination, D0 to D7 are high impedance and A0, E and R W inputs are disabled.
When the serial input interface is selected. the shift register and counter are reset.
Access to Display Data RAM and Internal Registers
The NT7501 can perform a series of pipeline processes between the LSI’s using the bus holder of the internal data bus in order
to match the operating frequency of the display RAM and the internal registers with that of the microprocessor. For example, the
microprocessor reads data from the display RAM in the first read (dummy) cycle, stores it in the bus holder and outputs it onto
the system bus in the next data read cycle.
Also, the microprocessor temporarily stores display data in the bus holder, and stores it in the display RAM until the next data
write cycle starts.
When viewed from the microprocessor, the NT7501 access speed greatly depends on the cycle time rather than the access
time to the display RAM (tACC). It shows the data transfer speed to/from the microprocessor can increase. If the cycle time is
inappropriate, the microprocessor can insert the NOP instruction that is equivalent to the wait cycle setup. However, there is a
restriction in the display RAM read sequence. When an address is set, the specified address data is NOT output at the read
instruction immediately following. Instead, the address data is output only during second data read. A single dummy read must
be inserted after the address setup and after write cycle (refer to Figure2).

Busy Flag
The Busy flag is set when the NT7501 starts to operate. During operation, it accepts Read Status instruction only. The busy flag
signal is output at pad D7 when Read Status is issued. If the cycle time (tCYC) is correct, the microprocessor need not check the
flag before issuing a command. This can greatly improve the microprocessor performance.
Initial Display Line Register
When the display RAM data is read, the display line, according to COM0 (usually, the top line of screen), is determined using
register data. The register is also used for screen scrolling and page switching.
The set Display Start Line command sets the 6-bit display start address in this register. The register data is preset on the line
counter each time the FR signal status changes. The line counter is incremented by CL signal and it generates a line address to
allow 132 bit.
Column Address Counter
This is a 8 bit presettable counter that provides the column address to the display RAM (refer to Figure4). It is incremented by 1
when a Read/Write command is entered. However, the counter is not incremented but locked if a non-existing address above
84H is specified. It is unlocked when a column address is set again. The Column Address counter is independent of the Page
Address register.
When the ADC Select command is issued to display an inverse display, the column address decoder inverts the relationship
between the RAM column address and the display segment output.
Page Address Register
This is a 4-bit page address register that provides a page address to the display RAM (refer to Figure 4). The microprocessor
issues Set Page Address command to change the page and access to another page. Page address 8 (D3 is high, but D2,D1
and D0 are low) is RAM area dedicated to the indicator, and only display data D0 is valid.
Display Data RAM
The display data RAM stores pixel data for the LCD. It is a 65-column by 132-row (8-page by 8 bit + 1) addressable array. Each
pixel can be selected when the page and column addresses are specified.
The time required to transfer data is very short because the microprocessor enters D0 to D7 corresponding to the LCD common
lines as shown in Figure 3. Therefore, multiple NT7501’s can easily configure a large display having high flexibility with very
little data transmission restriction.
The microprocessor writes and reads data to/from the RAM through the I/O buffer. As the LCD controller operates
independently, data can be written into the RAM at the same time as the data is being displayed, without causing the LCD to
flicker.

Display Timing Generator
This section explains how the display timing generator circuit operates.
Signal Generation to Line Counter and Display Data Latch Circuit
The display clock (CL) generates a clock to the line counter and a latch signal to the display data latch circuit.
The line address of the display RAM is generated in synchronization with the display clock. 100-bit display data is latched by the
display data latch circuit in synchronization with the display clock and output to the segment LCD drive output pad.
The display data is read to the LCD drive circuit completely independent of access to the display data RAM from the
microprocessor.
LCD AC Signal (FR) Generation
The display clock generates an LCD AC signal (FR). The FR causes the LCD drive circuit to generate a AC drive waveform.
It generates a 2-frame AC drive waveform.
When the NT7501 is operated in slave mode on the assumption of multi-chip, the FR pad and CL pad become input pads.
Common Timing Signal Generation
The display clock generates an internal common timing signal and a start signal (DYO) to the common driver. A display clock
resulting from frequency division of an oscillation clock is output from the CL pad.
When an AC signal (FR) is switched, a high pulse is output as a DYO output at the turning edge of the previous display clock.
Refer to Figure 5. The DYO output is output only in master mode.
When the NT7501 is used for multi-chip, the slave requires to receive the FR, CL, DOF signals from the master.
Table 4 shows the FR, CL, DYO and DOF status.

Display Data Latch Circuit
This circuit temporarily stores (or latches) display data (during a single common signal period) when it is output from display
RAM to LCD panel driver circuit. This latch is controlled by Display in normal/reverse Display ON/OFF and Entire display on
commands. These commands do not alter the data.
LCD Driver
This is a multiplexer circuit consisting of 100 segment outputs to generate four-level LCD panel drive signals. The LCD panel
drive voltage is generated by a specific combination of display data, a COM scan signal, and a FR signal. Figure 5 gives an
example of SEG and COM output waveform.
Oscillator Circuit
This is an oscillator having a complete built-in type CR, and its output is used as the display timing signal source or as the clock
for the voltage booster circuit of the LCD power supply.
The oscillator circuit is available in master mode only.
The oscillator signal is divided and output as a display clock at the CL pad.
Power Supply Circuit
The power supply circuit generates voltage to drive the LCD panel at low power consumption, and is available in NT7501
master mode only. The power supply circuit consists of a voltage booster, a voltage regulator and a LCD drive voltage follower.
The power supply circuit built into the NT7501 is set for a small-scale LCD panel and is inappropriate for a large-pixel panel and
a large-display-capacity LCD panel using multiple chips. As the large LCD panel has the dropped display quality due to a large
load capacity, it must use an external power source.
The power circuit is controlled by the Set Power Control command. This command sets a three-bit data in the Power Control
register to select one of eight power circuit functions. The external power supply and part of the internal power circuit functions
can be used simultaneously. The following explains how the Set Power Control command works.
[Control by Set Power Control command]
D2 turns on when the voltage booster control bit goes high, and D2 turns off when this bit goes low.
D1 turns on when the voltage regulator control bit goes high, and D1 turns off when this bit goes low.
D0 turns on when the voltage follower control bit goes high, and D0 turns off when this bit goes low.
[Practical combination examples]
Status 1: To use only the internal power supply
Status 2: To use only the voltage regulator and voltage follower
Status 3: To use only the voltage follower, input the external voltage V0
Status 4: To use only an external power supply because the internal power supply does not operate

NT7501
Booster Circuit
For double boosting, remove only capacitor C1 between
CAP2+ and CAP2- from the connection of triple boosting
operation, open CAP2- and short between CAP2+, CAP3+
and VOUT. The double boosted voltage is output at VOUT
(CAP3+, CAP2+).
For quadruple boosting, set a VDD voltage range so that the
voltage at VOUT may not exceed the absolute maximum
rating.
As the booster circuit uses signals from the oscillator circuit,
the oscillator circuit must be operative.
If capacitors C1 are connected between CAP1+ and CAP1-,

Voltage Regulator Circuit
The function of the internal voltage regulator circuits is to determine the liquid crystal operating voltage V0, by adjusting resistors
Ra and Rb, within the range V0 < VOUT. VOUT is the operating voltage of the operational amplifier circuits shown in Figure 6.
Feedback gain control for initial LCD voltage. External resistors are connected between V0 and VR, and between VR and VSS
and these resistors are chosen to give the desired V0 according to the following equation:
V0 = (1 + Rb/Ra) X VREG + Rb X Iref

Voltage Regulator Using the Electronic Volume Control Function
The Electronic Volume Control Function can adjust the intensity (brightness level) of the LCD screen by electronic control
command.
Software controls the 32 voltage levels of V0. This yields the following equation:
V0 = (1+ Rb/Ra) X VREG + Rb X Iref
Where Iref = 0 to 6.5µA ± 40% depending on the 5-bit data set by the electronic control command.

As seen in Figure 8 Microprocessor Interface (Reference Example). Connect the RES pad to the reset pin of the
microprocessor and initialize the microprocessor at the same time.
In case the NT7501 does not use the internal LCD power supply circuit, the RES must be low when the external LCD power
supply is turned on.
When RES goes low, each register is cleared and set to the above initialized status. However, it has no effect on the oscillator
circuit and output pads (FR, CL, DYO, D0 to D7)
The initialization by RES pad signal is always required during power-on. If the control signal from the MPU is HZ, an
overcurrent may flow through the IC. A protection is required to prevent the HZ signal at the input pads during power-on.
Be sure to initialize it by RES pad when turning on the power supply. When the reset command is used, only parameters 8 to
14 in the above initialization are executed.

COMMANDS
The NT7501 uses a combination of A0, RD (E) and WR ( R W ) signals to identify data bus signals. As the chip analyzes and
executes each command using the internal timing clock only, (regardless of external clock) its processing speed is very high
and its busy check is usually not required. The 8080 series microprocessor interface enters read status when a low pulse is
input to the RD pad and write status when a low pulse is input to the WR pad. The 6800 series microprocessor interface enters
read status when a high pulse is input to the R W pad and write status when a low pulse is input to this pad. When a high pulse
is input to the E pad, the command is activated. (For timing, see AC Characteristics.). Accordingly, in the command explanation
and command table, RD (E) becomes 1(high) when the 6800 series microprocessor interface reads the status of display data.
This is an only different point from the 8080 series microprocessor interface.
Looking at the 8080 series, microprocessor interface example commands are explained below.
When the serial interface is selected, input data in sequence starting from D7.

Either the FR or FRS terminal is connected to either of the static indicator LCD drive electrodes, and the remaining terminal
is connected to another electrode. When the indicator is turned on, the static drive operates and the indicator blinks at an
interval of approximately one second. This pattern separation between indicator electrodes and dynamic drive electrodes
is recommended. A closer pattern may cause a LCD and electrode deterioration.

19. Power Save (Compound Command)
When all displays are turned on during display off, the Power Save command is issued to greatly reduce the current
consumption.
If the static indicators are off, the Power Save command sleeps the system. If on, this command stands by the system.
Release the Sleep mode using the Power Save OFF command (Display ON command or Entire Display OFF command).

(Standby mode released)
Sleep mode
This mode stops every operation of the LCD display system, and can reduce current consumption to a nearly static current
value if no access is made from the microprocessor. The internal status in the sleep mode is as follows:
(1) Stops the oscillator circuit and LCD power supply circuit.
(2) Stops the LCD drive and outputs the VSS level as the segment/common driver output.
(3) Holds the display data and operation mode provided before the start of the sleep mode.
(4) The MPU can access the built-in display RAM.
Standby mode
Stops the operation of the duty LCD display system and turns on only the static drive system to reduce current
consumption to the minimum level required for static drive.
The ON operation of the static drive system indicates that the NT7501 is in the standby mode. The internal status in the
standby mode is as follows:
(1) Stops the LCD power supply circuit.
(2) Stops the LCD drive and outputs the VSS level as the segment/common driver output. However, the static drive
system operates.
(3) Holds the display data and operation mode provided before the start of the standby mode.
(4) The MPU can access to the built-in display RAM.
When the RESET command is issued in the standby mode, the sleep mode is set.
24
NT7501
When the LCD drive voltage level is given by an external resistive driver, the current of this resistor must be cut so that it
may be fixed to the floating or VSS level, prior to, or concurrently with causing the NT7501 to go into the sleep mode or
standby mode.
When an external power supply is used, likewise, the function of this external power supply must be stopped so that it may
be fixed to the floating or VSS level, prior to, or concurrently with causing the NT7501 series to go into the sleep mode or
standby mode.
20. Test Command
This is the dedicated IC chip test command. It must not be used for normal operation. If the Test command is issued
unconsciously, set the RES input to low or issue the Reset command to release the test mode.

Cautions: The NT7501 holds an operation status specified by each command. However, the internal operation status may
be changed by a high level of ambient noise. Consideration must be given to suppressing the noise on the
package and system and to preventing ambient noise. To prevent spike noise, built-in software for periodical
status refreshment is recommended.
The test command can be inserted in an unexpected place. Therefore it is recommended the user enter the test
mode reset command F0h during the refresh sequence.
