Functional Description
Display memory - RAM
System oscillator
The static display memory (RAM) is organized
into 32´4 bits and stores the displayed data.
The contents of the RAM are directly mapped to
the contents of the LCD driver. Data in the
RAM can be accessed by the READ, WRITE,
and READ-MODIFY-WRITE commands. The
following is a mapping from the RAM to the
LCD pattern:
The HT1621 system clock is used to generate
the time base/Watchdog Timer (WDT) clock frequency, LCD driving clock, and tone frequency.
The source of the clock may be from an on-chip
RC oscillator (256kHz), a crystal oscillator
(32.768kHz), or an external 256kHz clock by
the S/W setting. The configuration of the system oscillator is as shown. After the SYS DIS
command is executed, the system clock will
stop and the LCD bias generator will turn off.
That command is, however, available only for
the on-chip RC oscillator or for the crystal oscillator. Once the system clock stops, the LCD display will become blank, and the time base/WDT
lose its function as well.

The LCD OFF command is used to turn the
LCD bias generator off. After the LCD bias generator switches off by issuing the LCD OFF
command, using the SYS DIS command reduces power consumption, serving as a system
power down command. But if the external clock
source is chosen as the system clock, using the
SYS DIS command can neither turn the oscillator off nor carry out the power down mode. The
crystal oscillator option can be applied to connect an external frequency source of 32kHz to
the OSCI pin. In this case, the system fails to

enter the power down mode, similar to the case
in the external 256kHz clock source operation.
At the initial system power on, the HT1621 is at
the SYS DIS state.
where the value of n ranges from 0 to 7 by command options. The 32kHz in the above equation
indicates that the source of the system frequency is derived from a crystal oscillator of
32.768kHz, an on-chip oscillator (256kHz), or
an external frequency of 256kHz.
Time base and Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The time base generator is comprised by an
8-stage count-up ripple counter and is designed
to generate an accurate time base. The watch
dog timer (WDT), on the other hand, is composed of an 8-stage time base generator along
with a 2-stage count-up counter, and is designed to break the host controller or other subsystems from abnormal states such as
unknown or unwanted jump, execution errors,
etc. The WDT time-out will result in the setting
of an internal WDT time-out flag. The outputs
of the time base generator and of the WDT
time-out flag can be connected to the IRQ output by a command option. There are totally
eight frequency sources available for the time
base generator and the WDT clock. The frequency is calculated by the following equation.
fWDT =
If an on-chip oscillator (256kHz) or an external
256kHz frequency is chosen as the source of the
system frequency, the frequency source is by default prescaled to 32kHz by a 3-stage prescaler.
Employing both the time base generator and
the WDT related commands, one should be
careful since the time base generator and WDT
share the same 8-stage counter. For example,
invoking the WDT DIS command disables the
time base generator whereas executing the
WDT EN command not only enables the time
base generator but activates the WDT time-out
flag output (connect the WDT time-out flag to
the IRQ pin). After the TIMER EN command is
transferred, the WDT is disconnected from the
IRQ pin, and the output of the time base generator
is connected to the IRQ pin. The WDT can be
cleared by executing the CLR WDT command,
and the contents of the time base generator is
cleared by executing the CLR WDT or the CLR

Tone output
TIMER command. The CLR WDT or the CLR
TIMER command should be executed prior to
the WDT EN or the TIMER EN command respectively. Before executing the IRQ EN command the CLR WDT or CLR TIMER command
should be executed first. The CLR TIMER command has to be executed before switching from
the WDT mode to the time base mode. Once the
WDT time-out occurs, the IRQ pin will stay at a
logic low level until the CLR WDT or the IRQ
DIS command is issued. After the IRQ output is
disabled the IRQ pin will remain at the floating
state. The IRQ output can be enabled or disabled by executing the IRQ EN or the IRQ DIS
command, respectively. The IRQ EN makes the
output of the time base generator or of the WDT
time-out flag appear on the IRQ pin. The configuration of the time base generator along with
the WDT are as shown. In the case of on-chip
RC oscillator or crystal oscillator, the power
down mode can reduce power consumption
since the oscillator can be turned on or off by
the corresponding system commands. At the
power down mode the time base/WDT loses all
its functions.
A simple tone generator is implemented in the
HT1621. The tone generator can output a pair
of differential driving signals on the BZ and BZ,
which are used to generate a single tone. By executing the TONE4K and TONE2K commands
there are two tone frequency outputs
selectable. The TONE4K and TONE2K commands set the tone frequency to 4kHz and
2kHz, respectively. The tone output can be
turned on or off by invoking the TONE ON or
the TONE OFF command. The tone outputs,
namely BZ and BZ, are a pair of differential
driving outputs used to drive a piezo buzzer.
Once the system is disabled or the tone output
is inhibited, the BZ and the BZ outputs will remain at low level.
LCD driver
The HT1621 is a 128 (32´4) pattern LCD driver.
It can be configured as 1/2 or 1/3 bias and 2 or 3
or 4 commons of LCD driver by the S/W configuration. This feature makes the HT1621 suitable
for multiply LCD applications. The LCD driving
clock is derived from the system clock. The value
of the driving clock is always 256Hz even when it
is at a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator frequency, an
on-chip RC oscillator frequency, or an external
frequency. The LCD corresponding commands
are summarized in the table.
On the other hand, if an external clock is selected as the source of system frequency the
SYS DIS command turns out invalid and the
power down mode fails to be carried out. That
is, after the external clock source is selected,
the HT1621 will continue working until system
power fails or the external clock source is removed. After the system power on, the IRQ will
be disabled.
The bold form of 1 0 0, namely 1 0 0, indicates
the command mode ID. If successive commands
have been issued, the command mode ID except
for the first command, will be omitted. The LCD

the system is operating in the non-successive
command or the non-successive address data
mode, the CS pin should be set to "1" and the
previous operation mode will be reset also.
Once the CS pin returns to "0" a new operation
mode ID should be issued first.
OFF command turns the LCD display off by disabling the LCD bias generator. The LCD ON
command, on the other hand, turns the LCD
display on by enabling the LCD bias generator.
The BIAS and COM are the LCD panel related
commands. Using the LCD related commands,
the HT1621 can be compatible with most types
of LCD panels.
Interfacing
Only four lines are required to interface with
the HT1621. The CS line is used to initialize the
serial interface circuit and to terminate the communication between the host controller and the
HT1621. If the CS pin is set to 1, the data and
command issued between the host controller and
the HT1621 are first disabled and then initialized. Before issuing a mode command or mode
switching, a high level pulse is required to initialize the serial interface of the HT1621. The DATA
line is the serial data input/output line. Data to
be read or written or commands to be written
have to be passed through the DATA line. The RD
line is the READ clock input. Data in the RAM
are clocked out on the falling edge of the RD signal, and the clocked out data will then appear on
the DATA line. It is recommended that the host
controller read in correct data during the interval
between the rising edge and the next falling edge
of the RD signal. The WR line is the WRITE clock
input. The data, address, and command on the
DATA line are all clocked into the HT1621 on the
rising edge of the WR signal. There is an optional
IRQ line to be used as an interface between the
host controller and the HT1621. The IRQ pin can
be selected as a timer output or a WDT overflow
flag output by the S/W setting. The host controller can perform the time base or the WDT function by being connected with the IRQ pin of the
HT1621.
Command format
The HT1621 can be configured by the S/W setting. There are two mode commands to configure
the HT1621 resources and to transfer the LCD
display data. The configuration mode of the
HT1621 is called command mode, and its command mode ID is 1 0 0. The command mode consists of a system configuration command, a
system frequency selection command, a LCD configuration command, a tone frequency selection
command, a timer/WDT setting command, and
an operating command. The data mode, on the
other hand, includes READ, WRITE, and
READ-MODIFY-WRITE operations. The following are the data mode IDs and the command
mode ID:

the command mode ID. If successive commands have been issued, the command mode ID except for the first command will be omitted. The source of the tone frequency and of the time
base/WDT clock frequency can be derived from an on-chip 256kHz RC oscillator, a 32.768kHz
crystal oscillator, or an external 256kHz clock. Calculation of the frequency is based on the
system frequency sources as stated above. It is recommended that the host controller should
initialize the HT1621 after power on reset, for power on reset may fail, which in turn leads to
the malfunctioning of the HT1621.
