PCF8576D
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The host microprocessor/microcontroller maintains the
2-line I2C-bus communication channel with the
PCF8576D. The internal oscillator is enabled by
connecting pin OSC to pin 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 chosen for the
application.
The PCF8576D is a versatile peripheral device designed
to interface any microprocessor/microcontroller with a
wide variety of LCDs. It can directly drive any static or
multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up
to 40 segments.
The display configurations possible with the PCF8576D
depend on the number of active backplane outputs
required. A selection of display configurations is shown in
Table 1; all of these configurations can be implemented in
the typical system shown in Fig.3.

Bias is calculated by the formula ------------1+a
At power-on the PCF8576D resets to the following starting
conditions:
For 1⁄2bias, a = 1; for 1⁄3bias, a = 2.
• All backplane outputs are set to VLCD
The LCD on voltage Von is calculated by the formula
• All segment outputs are set to VLCD
• Drive mode ‘1 : 4 multiplex with 1⁄3bias’ is selected
V op
• Blinking is switched off
• Input and output bank selectors are reset (as defined in
Table 4)

where Vop is the resultant voltage at the LCD segment; N
is the LCD drive mode: 1 = static, 2 = 1 : 2, 3 = 1 : 3,
4 = 1 : 4.
Data transfers on the I2C-bus should be avoided for 1 ms
following power-on to allow completion of the reset action.
6.2
Discrimination is the ratio of Von to Voff, and is determined
LCD bias generator
V on
=
by the formula --------V off
Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an
internal voltage divider comprising three resistors
connected in series between VLCD and VSS. The middle
resistor can be bypassed to provide a 1⁄2bias voltage level
for the 1 : 2 multiplex configuration. The LCD voltage can
be temperature compensated externally via the supply to
pin VLCD.
6.3
Using the above formula, the discrimination for an LCD
drive mode of 1 : 3 with 1⁄2bias is
3 = 1.732, and the
discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1 : 4 with 1⁄2bias is
21
---------- = 1.528.

LCD voltage selector
The advantage of these LCD drive modes is a reduction of
the LCD full-scale voltage VLCD as follows:
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. 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 2.
1 : 3 multiplex (1⁄2bias):
VLCD =
6 × V off(rms) = 2.449 Voff(rms)
1 : 4 multiplex (1⁄2bias):
VLCD =
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.
(4 × 3)
---------------------3
= 2.309 Voff(rms)
These compare with VLCD = 3 Voff(rms) when 1⁄3bias is
used.
Multiplex drive modes of 1 : 3 and 1 : 4 with 1⁄2bias are
possible but the discrimination and hence the contrast
ratios are smaller.

6.5.1
PCF8576D
Oscillator
6.9
INTERNAL CLOCK
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.
The internal logic of the PCF8576D and its LCD drive
signals are timed either by its internal oscillator or by an
external clock. The internal oscillator is enabled by
connecting pin OSC to pin VSS. If the internal oscillator is
used, the output from pin CLK can be used as the clock
signal for several PCF8576Ds in the system that are
connected in cascade. After power-up, pin SDA must be
HIGH to guarantee that the clock starts.
6.5.2
EXTERNAL CLOCK
Pin CLK is enabled as an external clock input by
connecting pin OSC to VDD.
The LCD frame signal frequency is determined by the
clock frequency (fCLK).
6.10
Timing
The PCF8576D 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 correct timing relationship between each
PCF8576D in the system is maintained by the
synchronization signal at pin SYNC. The timing also
generates the LCD frame signal whose frequency is
derived from the clock frequency. The frame signal
frequency is a fixed division integer of the clock frequency
(nominally 64 kHz) from either the internal or an external
clock.
f CLK
Frame frequency = ---------24
6.7
When display data is transmitted to the PCF8576D, 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 an acknowledge
cycle as with the commands. Depending on the current
multiplex drive mode, data is stored singularly, in pairs,
triplets or quadruplets. For example, in the 1 : 2 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.10; the RAM filling
organization depicted applies equally to other LCD types.
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 each column of the
display RAM.
6.8
With reference to Fig.10, 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 mode, the eight
transmitted data bits are placed in bits 0 and 1 of four
successive display RAM addresses. In the 1 : 3 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.
Segment outputs
The LCD drive section includes 40 segment outputs
S0 to S39 which should 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 latch. When less than 40 segment
outputs are required, the unused segment outputs should
be left open-circuit.

Display RAM
The display RAM is a static 40 × 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 40 segments operated with respect to
backplane BP0 (see Fig.9). 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.
A clock signal must always be supplied to the device;
removing the clock may freeze the LCD in a DC state.

In the 1 : 4 mode, the eight transmitted data bits are
placed in bits 0, 1, 2 and 3 of two successive display RAM
addresses.

arriving data byte is stored at the display RAM address
indicated by the data pointer in accordance with the filling
order shown in Fig.10. After each byte is stored, the
contents of the data pointer are automatically incremented
by a value dependent on the selected LCD drive mode:
eight (static drive mode), four (1 : 2 mode), three
(1 : 3 mode) or two (1 : 4 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.
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. Following this, an

Subaddress counter
6.13
The storage of display data is determined 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.
The output bank selector selects one of the four bits per
display RAM address for transfer to the display latch. The
actual bit chosen depends on the selected LCD drive
mode and on the instant in the multiplex sequence. In 1 : 4
mode, 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 mode, bits 0, 1 and 2 are selected
sequentially. In 1 : 2 mode, bits 0 and 1 are selected and,
in static mode, bit 0 is selected. Signal SYNC will reset
these sequences to the following starting points; bit 3 for
1 : 4 mode, bit 2 for 1 : 3 mode, bit 1 for 1 : 2 mode and
bit 0 for static mode.
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 PCF8576D 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 14th display data byte
transmitted in 1 : 3 mode).
The PCF8576D includes a RAM bank switching feature in
the static and 1 : 2 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 1 : 2 mode, the contents of bits 2 and 3 may be
selected instead of bits 0 and 1. This allows display
information to be prepared in an alternative bank and then
selected for display when it is assembled.
The hardware subaddress should not be changed whilst
the device is being accessed on the I2C-bus interface.

PCF8576D
Input bank selector
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 command.
The input bank selector loads display data into the display
RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive
configuration. The BANK SELECT command can be used
to load display data in bit 2 in static drive mode or in
bits 2 and 3 in 1 : 2 mode. The input bank selector
functions are independent of the output bank selector.
6.15
Blinker
In the 1 : 3 and 1 : 4 drive modes, where no alternative
RAM bank is available, groups of LCD segments can be
blinked by selectively changing the display RAM data at
fixed time intervals.
The PCF8576D has a very versatile display blinking
capability. The whole display can blink at a frequency
selected by the BLINK command. Each blink frequency is
a multiple integer value of the clock frequency; the ratio
between the clock frequency and blink frequency depends
on the blink mode selected, as shown in Table 3.
Table 3
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.

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 (see
Fig.14).
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.
In chip-on-glass applications where the track resistance
from the SDA 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 therefore necessary to minimize the track
resistance from the SDA pad to the system SDA line to
guarantee a valid LOW-level during the acknowledge
cycle.
7.1
7.5
The PCF8576D 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 PCF8576D
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.
Bit transfer
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 in
accordance with a binary coding scheme such that no two
devices with a common I2C-bus slave address have the
same hardware subaddress.
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 Fig.11).
7.2
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), (see Fig.12).

System configuration
7.7
I2C-bus protocol
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (01110000 and 01110010)
are reserved for the PCF8576D. The least significant bit of
the slave address that a PCF8576D will respond to is
defined by the level tied to its SA0 input. The PCF8576D
is a write-only device and will not respond to a read
access. Having two reserved slave addresses allows the
following on the same I2C-bus:
Acknowledge
The number of data bytes that can be transferred from
transmitter to receiver between the START and STOP
conditions is unlimited. Each byte of eight bits is followed
by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a
HIGH-level signal on the bus that is asserted by the
transmitter during which time the master generates an
extra acknowledge related clock pulse. An addressed
slave receiver must generate an acknowledge after
receiving each byte. Also a master receiver must generate
an acknowledge after receiving each byte that has been
clocked out of the slave transmitter. The acknowledging
device must pull-down the SDA line during the
2003 Jun 23
Input filters
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse
environments, RC low-pass filters are provided on the
SDA and SCL lines.
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’, (see Fig.13).

PCF8576D I2C-bus controller
• Up to 16 PCF8576Ds for very large LCD applications
• The use of two types of LCD multiplex drive.
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Fig.15. The sequence is
initiated with a START condition (S) from the I2C-bus
master which is followed by one of two possible
PCF8576D slave addresses available. All PCF8576Ds
whose SA0 inputs correspond to bit 0 of the slave address
respond by asserting an acknowledge in parallel. This
I2C-bus transfer is ignored by all PCF8576Ds whose SA0
inputs are set to the alternative level.

A1 and A2. After the last display byte, the I2C-bus master
asserts a STOP condition (P). Alternately a START may
be asserted to RESTART an I2C-bus access.
After an acknowledgement, one or more command bytes
follow that define the status of each addressed
PCF8576D.
The last command byte sent is identified by resetting its
most significant bit, continuation bit C, (see Fig.16). The
command bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed
PCF8576Ds on the bus.
7.8
Command decoder
The command decoder identifies command bytes that
arrive on the I2C-bus. All available commands carry a
continuation bit C in their most significant bit position as
shown in Fig.16. When this bit is set, it indicates that the
next byte of the transfer to arrive will also represent a
command. If this bit is reset, it indicates that the command
byte is the last in the transfer. Further bytes will be
regarded as display data.
After the last command byte, one or more display data
bytes may follow. Display data 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 directed to the intended PCF8576D device.
The five commands available to the PCF8576D are
defined in Table 4.

DESCRIPTION
In large display configurations, up to 16 PCF8576Ds can
be differentiated on the same I2C-bus by using the 3-bit
hardware subaddresses (A0, A1 and A2) and the
programmable I2C-bus slave address (SA0). PCF8576Ds
connected in cascade are synchronized to allow the
backplane signals from only one device in the cascade to
be shared. This 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 cascaded PCF8576Ds
contribute additional segment outputs but their backplane
outputs are left open-circuit (see Fig.17).

Table 14 SYNC contact resistance
All PCF8576Ds connected in cascade are correctly
synchronized by the SYNC signal. This synchronization is
guaranteed after the Power-on reset. The only time that
SYNC is likely to be needed is if synchronization is lost
accidentally, for example, by noise in adverse electrical
environments, or if the LCD multiplex drive mode is
changed in an application using several cascaded
PCF8576Ds, as the drive mode cannot be changed on all
of the cascaded devices simultaneously. SYNC can be
either an input or an output signal; a SYNC output is
implemented as an open-drain driver with an internal
pull-up resistor. A PCF8576D asserts SYNC at the start of
its last active backplane signal, and monitors the SYNC
line at all other times. If cascade synchronization is lost, it
will be restored by the first PCF8576D to assert SYNC.
The timing relationship between the backplane waveforms
and the SYNC signal for each LCD drive mode is shown in
Fig.18.

To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering
method was specifically developed.
16 SOLDERING
16.1
Introduction to soldering surface mount
packages
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be
observed for optimal results:
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
• Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a
turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a
smooth laminar wave.
• For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface
mount IC packages. Wave soldering can still be used for
certain surface mount ICs, but it is not suitable for fine pitch
SMDs. In these situations reflow soldering is
recommended.
16.2
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint
longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board;
– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis
must be parallel to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board.
Reflow soldering
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the
downstream end.
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
Driven by legislation and environmental forces the
worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing.
• For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must
be placed at a 45° angle to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,
convection or convection/infrared heating in a conveyor
type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and
cooling) vary between 100 and 200 seconds depending
on heating method.
During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from
215 to 270 °C depending on solder paste material. The
top-surface temperature of the packages should
preferably be kept:
Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from
3 to 4 seconds at 250 °C or 265 °C, depending on solder
material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively.
• below 220 °C (SnPb process) or below 245 °C (Pb-free
process)
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.
– for all the BGA packages
16.4
– for packages with a thickness ≥ 2.5 mm
Fix the component by first soldering two
diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24 V or
less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead.
Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to
300 °C.
– for packages with a thickness < 2.5 mm and a
volume ≥ 350 mm3 so called thick/large packages.
• below 235 °C (SnPb process) or below 260 °C (Pb-free
process) for packages with a thickness < 2.5 mm and a
volume < 350 mm3 so called small/thin packages.
When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be
soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on packing,
must be respected at all times.
16.3
Wave soldering
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended
for surface mount devices (SMDs) or printed-circuit boards
with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.

Notes
1. For more detailed information on the BGA packages refer to the “(LF)BGA Application Note” (AN01026); order a copy
from your Philips Semiconductors sales office.
2. All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum
temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package
cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the
Drypack information in the “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods”.
3. These packages are not suitable for wave soldering. On versions with the heatsink on the bottom side, the solder
cannot penetrate between the printed-circuit board and the heatsink. On versions with the heatsink on the top side,
the solder might be deposited on the heatsink surface.
4. If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave direction.
The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
5. Wave soldering is suitable for LQFP, TQFP and QFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.8 mm; it is definitely not
suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.
6. Wave soldering is suitable for SSOP, TSSOP, VSO and VSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than
0.65 mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
