HITACHI HCD66712UA03

HD66712U
(Dot-Matrix Liquid Crystal Display Controller/Driver)
Description
The HD66712 dot-matrix liquid crystal display controller and driver LSI displays alphanumerics,
numbers, and symbols. It can be configured to drive a dot-matrix liquid crystal display under the control
of a serial or a 4- or 8-bit microprocessor. Since all the functions such as display RAM, character
generator, and liquid crystal driver, required for driving a dot-matrix liquid crystal display are internally
provided on one chip, a minimum system can be interfaced with this controller/driver.
A single HD66712 is capable of displaying a single 24-character line, two 24-character lines, or four 12character lines.
The HD66712 software is upwardly compatible with the LCDII (HD44780) which allows the user to
easily replace an LCD-II with an HD66712. In addition, the HD66712 is equipped with functions such as
segment displays for icon marks, a 4-line display mode, and a horizontal smooth scroll, and thus supports
various display forms. This achieves various display forms. The HD66712 character generator ROM is
extended to generate 240 5 × 8 dot characters.
The low-voltage operation (2.7V) of the HD66712, combined with a low-power mode, is suitable for any
portable battery-driven product requiring low power consumption.
Features
• 5 × 8 dot matrix possible
• Clock-synchronized serial interface capability; can interface with 4- or 8-bit MPU
• Low-power operation support:
 2.7 to 5.5V (low voltage)
 Wide liquid-crystal voltage range: 2.7 to 11.0V max.
• Booster for liquid crystal voltage
 Two/three times (13V max.)
• High-speed MPU bus interface
(2MHz at 5-V operation)

Function
HD66712U
Function Description
System Interface
The HD66712 has three types of system interfaces: synchronized serial, 4-bit bus, and 8-bit bus. The
serial interface is selected by the IM-pin, and the 4/8-bit bus interface is selected by the DL bit in the
instruction register.
The HD66712 has two 8-bit registers: an instruction register (IR) and a data register (DR).
The IR stores instruction codes, such as display clear and cursor shift, and address information for the
display data RAM (DDRAM), the character generator RAM (CGRAM), and the segment RAM
(SEGRAM). The MPU can only write to IR, and cannot be read from.
The DR temporarily stores data to be written into DDRAM, CGRAM, or SEGRAM. Data written into the
DR from the MPU is automatically written into DDRAM, CGRAM, or SEGRAM by an internal
operation. The DR is also used for data storage when reading data from DDRAM, CGRAM, or
SEGRAM. When address information is written into the IR, data is read and then stored into the DR from
DDRAM or CGRAM by an internal operation. Data transfer between the MPU is then completed when
the MPU reads the DR. After the read, data in DDRAM, CGRAM, or SEGRAM at the next address is
sent to the DR for the next read from the MPU.
These two registers can be selected by the registor selector (RS) signal in the 4/8 bit bus interface, and by
the RS bit in start byte data in synchronized serial interface (Table 2).
Busy Flag (BF)
When the busy flag is 1, the HD66712 is in the internal operation mode, and the next instruction will not
be accepted. When RS = 0 and R/W = 1 (Table 2), the busy flag is output from DB7. The next instruction
must be written after ensuring that the busy flag is 0.
Address Counter (AC)
The address counter (AC) assigns addresses to DDRAM, CGRAM, or SEGRAM. When an address of an
instruction is written into the IR, the address information is sent from the IR to the AC. Selection of
DDRAM, CGRAM, and SEGRAM is also determined concurrently by the instruction.
After writing into (reading from) DDRAM, CGRAM, or SEGRAM, the AC is automatically incremented
by 1 (decremented by 1). The AC contents are then output to DB0 to DB6 when RS = 0 and R/ = 1
(Table 2).

Display Data RAM (DDRAM)
Display data RAM (DDRAM) stores display data represented in 8-bit character codes. Its capacity is 80 ×
8 bits, or 80 characters. The area in display data RAM (DDRAM) that is not used for display can be used
as general data RAM.
The DDRAM address (ADD) is set in the address counter (AC) as a hexadecimal number, as shown in
Figure 1.
The relationship between DDRAM addresses and positions on the liquid crystal display is described and
shown on the following pages for a variety of cases.

• 1-line display (N = 0, and NW = 0)
 Case 1: When there are fewer than 80 display characters, the display begins at the beginning of
DDRAM. For example, when 24 5-dot font-width characters are displayed using one HD66712,
the display is generated as shown in Figure 2.
When a display shift is performed, the DDRAM addresses shift as well as shown in the figure.
When 20 6-dot font-width characters are displayed using one HD66712, the display is generated as
shown in Figure 3. Note that COM9 to COM16 begins at address (0A)H in this case 20 characters
are displayed.
When a display shift is performed, the DDRAM addresses shift as well as shown in the figure.
 Case 2: Figure 4 shows the case where the EXT pin is fixed high and the HD66712 and the 40output extension driver are used to display 24 6-dot font-width characters. In this case, COM9 to
COM16 begins at (0A)H.
When a display shift is performed, the DDRAM addresses shift as well as shown in the figure.

Character Generator ROM (CGROM)
The character generator ROM generates 5 × 8 dot character patterns from 8-bit character codes (Table 3
to 6). It can generate 240 5 × 8 dot character patterns. User-defined character patterns are also available
using a mask-programmed ROM (see “Modifying Character Patterns.”)
Character Generator RAM (CGRAM)
The character generator RAM allows the user to redefine the character patterns. In the case of 5 × 8
characters, up to eight may be redefined.
Write the character codes at the addresses shown as the left column of Table 3 to 6 to show the character
patterns stored in CGRAM.
See Table 7 for the relationship between CGRAM addresses and data and display patterns.
Segment RAM (SEGRAM)
The segment RAM (SEGRAM) is used to enable control of segments such as an icon and a mark by the
user program.
For a 1-line display, SEGRAM is read from the COM0 and the COM17 output, and for 2- or 4-line
displays, it is read from the COM0 and the COM33 output, to perform 60-segment display (80-segment
display when using the extension driver).
As shown in Table 8, bits in SEGRAM corresponding to segments to be displayed are directly set by the
MPU, regardless of the contents of DDRAM and CGRAM.
SEGRAM data is stored in eight bits. The lower six bits control the display of each segment, and the
upper two bits control segment blinking.
Timing Generation Circuit
The timing generation circuit generates timing signals for the operation of internal circuits such as
DDRAM, CGROM, CGRAM, and SEGRAM. RAM read timing for display and internal operation timing
by MPU access are generated separately to avoid interfering with each other. Therefore, when writing
data to DDRAM, for example, there will be no undesirable interferences, such as flickering, in areas
other than the display area.

HD66712U
Liquid Crystal Display Driver Circuit
The liquid crystal display driver circuit consists of 34 common signal drivers and 60 segment signal
drivers. When the character font and number of lines are selected by a program, the required common
signal drivers automatically output drive waveforms, while the other common signal drivers continue to
output non-selection waveforms.
Character pattern data is sent serially through a 60-bit shift register and latched when all needed data has
arrived. The latched data then enables the driver to generate drive waveform outputs.
Sending serial data always starts at the display data character pattern corresponding to the last address of
the display data RAM (DDRAM).
Since serial data is latched when the display data character pattern corresponding to the starting address
enters the internal shift register, the HD66712 drives from the head display.
Cursor/Blink Control Circuit
The cursor/blink (or white-black inversion) control is used to produce a cursor or a flashing area on the
display at a position corresponding to the location in stored in the address counter (AC).
For example (Figure 10), when the address counter is (08)H, a cursor is displayed at a position
corresponding to DDRAM address (08)H.
Scroll Control Circuit
The scroll control circuit is used to perform a smooth-scroll in the unit of dot. When the number of
characters to be displayed is greater than that possible at one time on the liquid crystal module, this
horizontal smooth scroll can be used to display all characters.
AC = (08)16

Notes: 1. Character code bits 0 to 2 correspond to CGRAM address bits 3 to 5 (3 bits: 8 types).
2. CGRAM address bits 0 to 2 designate the character pattern line position. The 8th line is the
cursor position and its display is formed by a logical OR with the cursor.
3. The character data is stored with the rightmost character element in bit 0, as shown in the
figure above. Characters of 5 dots in width (FW = 0) are stored in bits 0 to 4, and characters of
6 dots in width (FW = 1) are stored in bits 0 to 5.
4. When the upper four bits (bits 7 to 4) of the character code are 0, CGRAM is selected.
Bit 3 of the character code is invalid (*). Therefore, for example, the character codes (00)H and
(08)H correspond to the same CGRAM address.
5. A set bit in the CGRAM data corresponds to display selection, and 0 to non-selection.
6. When the BE bit of the function set register is 1, pattern blinking control of the lower six bits is
controlled using the upper two bits (bits 7 and 6) in CGRAM.
When bit 7 is 1, of the lower six bits, only those which are set are blinked on the display.
When bit 6 is 1, a bit 4 pattern can be blinked as for a 5-dot font width, and a bit 5 pattern
can be blinked as for a 6-dot font width.

Notes: 1. Data set to SEGRAM is output when COM0 and COM17 are selected, as for a 1-line display,
and output when COM0 and COM33 are selected, as for a 2-line or a 4-line display. COM0
and COM17 for a 1-line display and COM0 and COM33 for a 2-line or a 4-line display are the
same signals.
2. S1 to S96 are pin numbers of the segment output driver. S1 is positioned to the left of the
display. When the HD66712 is used by one chip, segments from S1 to S60 are displayed. An
extension driver displays the segments after S61.
3. After S80 output at 5-dot font and S96 output at 6-dot font, S1 output is repeated again.
4. As for a 5-dot font width, lower five bits (D4 to D0) are display on.off information of each
segment. For a 6-dot character width, the lower six bits (D5 to D0) are the display information
for each segment.
5. When the BE bit of the function set register is 1, pattern blinking of the lower six bits is
controlled using the upper two bits (bits 7 and 6) in SEGRAM.
When bit 7 is 1, only a bit set to “1” of the lower six bits is blinked on the display.
When bit 6 is 1, only a bit 4 pattern can be blinked as for a 5-dot font width, and only a bit 5
pattern can be blinked as for 6-dot font width.
6. Bit 5 (D5) is invalid for a 5-dot font width.
7. Set bits in the SEGRAM data correspond to display selection, and zeros to non-selection.

Programming Character Patterns
This section explains the correspondence between addresses and data used to program character patterns
in EPROM.
• Programming to EPROM
The HD66712 character generator ROM can generate 240 5 × 8 dot character patterns. Table 9 shows
correspondence between the EPROM address data and the character pattern.
Handling Unused Character Patterns
1. EPROM data outside the character pattern area: This is ignored by the character generator ROM for
display operation so any data is acceptable.
2. EPROM data in CGRAM area: Always fill with zeros.
3. Treatment of unused user patterns in the HD66712 EPROM: According to the user application, these
are handled in either of two ways:
a When unused character patterns are not programmed: If an unused character code is written into
DDRAM, all its dots are lit, because the EPROM is filled with 1s after it is erased.
b When unused character patterns are programmed as 0s: Nothing is displayed even if unused
character codes are written into DDRAM. (This is equivalent to a space.)

4. Areas which are lit (indicated by shading) are stored as “1,” and unlit areas as “0.”
5. The eighth line is also stored in the CGROM, and should also be programmed. If the eighth line
is used for a cursor, this data should all be set to zero.
6. EPROM data bits 07 to 05 are invalid. 0 should be written in all bits.

HD66712U
Reset Function
Initializing by Internal Reset Circuit
An internal reset circuit automatically initializes the HD66712 when the power is turned on. The
following instructions are executed during the initialization. The busy flag (BF) is kept in the busy state
until the initialization ends (BF = 1). The busy state lasts for 15 ms after VCC rises to 4.5V or 40 ms after
the VCC rises to 2.7V.
1. Display clear:
(20)H to all DDRAM
2. Set functions:
DL = 1: 8-bit interface data
N = 1: 2-line display
RE = 0: Extension register write disable
BE = 0: CGRAM/SEGRAM blink off
LP = 0: Not in low power mode
3. Control display on/off:
D = 0: Display off
C = 0: Cursor off
B = 0: Blinking off
4. Set entry mode:
I/D = 1: Increment by 1
S = 0: No shift
5. Set extension function:
FW = 0: 5-dot character width
B/W = 0: Normal cursor (eighth line)
NW = 0: 1- or 2-line display (depending on N)
6. Enable scroll:
HSE = 0000: Scroll unable
7. Set scroll amount:
HDS = 000000: Not scroll
Note: If the electrical characteristics conditions listed under the Table Power Supply Conditions Using
Internal Reset Circuit are not met, the internal reset circuit will not operate normally and will fail
to initialize the HD66712.
Initializing by Hardware Reset Input
The HD66712 also has a reset input pin: RESET*. If this pin is made low during operation, an internal
reset and initialization is performed. This pin is ignored, however, during the internal reset period at
power-on.
398
HD66712U
Interfacing to the MPU
The HD66712 can send data in either two 4-bit operations or one 8-bit operation, thus allowing
interfacing with 4- or 8-bit MPUs.
• For 4-bit interface data, only four bus lines (DB4 to DB7) are used for transfer. Bus lines DB0 to DB3
are disabled. The data transfer between the HD66712 and the MPU is completed after the 4-bit data
has been transferred twice. As for the order of data transfer, the four high order bits (for 8-bit
operation, DB4 to DB7) are transferred before the four low order bits (for 8-bit operation, DB0 to
DB3).
The busy flag must be checked (one instruction) after the 4-bit data has been transferred twice. Two
more 4-bit operations then transfer the busy flag and address counter data.
• For 8-bit interface data, all eight bus lines (DB0 to DB7) are used.
• When the IM pin is low, the HD66712 uses a serial interface. See “Transferring Serial Data.”

HD66712U
Transferring Serial Data
When the IM pin (interface mode) is low, the HD66712 enters serial interface mode. A three-line clocksynchronous transfer method is used. The HD66712 receives serial input data (SID) and transmits serial
output data (SOD) by synchronizing with a transfer clock (SCLK) sent from the master side.
When the HD66712 interfaces with several chips, chip select pin (CS*) must be used. The transfer clock
(SCLK) input is activated by making chip select (CS*) low. In addition, the transfer counter of the
HD66712 can be reset and serial transfer synchronized by making chip select (CS*) high.
Here, since the data which was being sent at reset is cleared, restart the transfer from the first bit of this
data. In the case of a minimum 1 to 1 transfer system with the HD66712 used as a receiver only, an
interface can be established by the transfer clock (SCLK) and serial input data (SID). In this case, chip
select (CS*) should be fixed to low.
The transfer clock (SCLK) is independent from operational clock (CLK) of the HD66712. However,
when several instructions are continuously transferred, the instruction execution time determined by the
operational clock (CLK) (see continuous transfer) must be considered since the HD66712 does not have
an internal transmit/receive buffer.
To begin with, transfer the start byte. By receiving five consecutive bits (synchronizing bit string) at the
beginning of the start byte, the transfer counter of the HD66712 is reset and serial transfer is
synchronized. The 2 bits following the synchronizing bit string (5 bits) specify transfer direction (R/
bit) and register select (RS bit). Be sure to transfer 0 in the 8th bit.
:
After receiving the start byte, instructions are received and the data/busy flag is transmitted. When the
transfer direction and register select remain the same, data can be continuously transmitted or received.
The transfer protocol is described in detail below.
• Receiving (write)
After receiving the start synchronization bits, the R/ bit (= 0), and the RS bit with the start byte, an
8-bit instruction is received in 2 bytes: the lower 4 bits of the instruction are placed in the LSB of the
first byte, and the higher 4 bits of the instruction are placed in the LSB of the second byte. Be sure to
transfer 0 in the following 4 bits of each byte. When instructions are continuously received with R/
bit and RS bit unchanged, continuous transfer is possible (see “Continuous Transfer” below).

HD66712U
• Transmitting (read)
After receiving the start synchronization bits, the R/ bit (= 1), and the RS bit with the start byte, 8bit read data is transmitted in the same way as receiving. When read data is continuously transmitted
with R/ bit and RS bit unchanged, continuous transfer is possible (see “Continuous Transfer”
below).
Even at the time of the transmission (the data output), since the HD66712 monitors the start
synchronization bit string (“11111”) by the SID input, the HD66712 receives the R/W bit and RS bit
after detecting the start synchronization. Therefore, in the case of a continuous transfer, fix the SID
input “0.”
• Continuous transfer
When instructions are continuously received with the R/ bit and RS bit unchanged, continuous
receive is possible without inserting a start byte between instructions.
After receiving the last bit (the 8th bit in the 2nd byte) of an instruction, the system begins to execute
it.
To execute the next instruction, the instruction execution time of the HD66712 must be considered. If
the last bit (the 8th bit in the 2nd byte) of the next instruction is received during execution of the
previous instruction, the instruction will be ignored.
In addition, if the next unit of data is read before read execution of previous data is completed for
busy flag/address counter/RAM data, normal data is not sent. To transfer data normally, the busy flag
must be checked. However, it is possible to transfer without reading the busy flag if wiring for
transmission (SOD pin) needs to be reduced or if the burden of polling on the MPU needs to be
removed. In this case, insert a transfer wait so that the current instruction first completes execution
during instruction transfer.

HD66712U
Instructions
Outline
Only the instruction register (IR) and the data register (DR) of the HD66712 can be controlled by the
MPU. Before starting internal operation of the HD66712, control information is temporarily stored in
these registers to allow interfacing with various MPUs, which operate at different speeds, or various
peripheral control devices. The internal operation of the HD66712 is determined by signals sent from the
MPU. These signals, which include register selection (RS), read/write (R/ ), and the data bus (DB0 to
DB7), make up the HD66712 instructions (Table 12). There are four categories of instructions that:
:
•
•
•
•
Designate HD66712 functions, such as display format, data length, etc.
Set internal RAM addresses
Perform data transfer with internal RAM
Perform miscellaneous functions
Normally, instructions that perform data transfer with internal RAM are used the most. However, autoincrementation by 1 (or auto-decrementation by 1) of internal HD66712 RAM addresses after each data
write can lighten the program load of the MPU. Since the display shift instruction (Table 10) can perform
concurrently with display data write, the user can minimize system development time with maximum
programming efficiency.
When an instruction is being executed for internal operation, no instruction other than the busy
flag/address read instruction can be executed.
Because the busy flag is set to 1 while an instruction is being executed, check it to make sure it is 0
before sending another instruction from the MPU.
Note: Be sure the HD66712 is not in the busy state (BF = 1) before sending an instruction from the
MPU to the HD66712. If an instruction is sent without checking the busy flag, the time between
the first instruction and next instruction will take much longer than the instruction time itself.
Refer to Table 12 for the list of each instruction execution time.
404
HD66712U
Instruction Description
Clear Display
Clear display writes space code (20)H (character pattern for character code (20)H must be a blank
pattern) into all DDRAM addresses. It then sets DDRAM address 0 into the address counter, and returns
the display to its original status if it was shifted. In other words, the display disappears and the cursor or
blinking goes to the left edge of the display (in the first line if 2 lines are displayed). It also sets I/D to 1
(increment mode) in entry mode. S of entry mode does not change.
Return Home
Return home sets DDRAM address 0 into the address counter, and returns the display to its original status
if it was shifted. The DDRAM contents do not change.
The cursor or blinking goes to the left edge of the display (in the first line if 2 lines are displayed). In
addition, flicker may occur in a moment at the time of this instruction issue.
Entry Mode Set
I/D: Increments (I/D = 1) or decrements (I/D = 0) the DDRAM address by 1 when a character code is
written into or read from DDRAM.
The cursor or blinking moves to the right when incremented by 1 and to the left when decremented by 1.
The same applies to writing and reading of CGRAM and SEGRAM.
S: Shifts the entire display either to the right (I/D = 0) or to the left (I/D = 1) when S is 1 during DDRAM
write. The display does not shift if S is 0.
If S is 1, it will seem as if the cursor does not move but the display does. The display does not shift when
reading from DDRAM. Also, writing into or reading out from CGRAM and SEGRAM does not shift the
display. In a low power mode (LP = 1), do not set S = 1 because the whole display does not normally
shift.
Display On/Off Control
When extension register enable bit (RE) is 0, bits D, C, and B are accessed.
D: The display is on when D is 1 and off when D is 0. When off, the display data remains in DDRAM,
but can be displayed instantly by setting D to 1.
C: The cursor is displayed when C is 1 and not displayed when C is 0. Even if the cursor disappears, the
function of I/D or other specifications will not change during display data write. The cursor is displayed
using 5 dots in the 8th line for 5 × 8 dot character font.
405
HD66712U
B: The character indicated by the cursor blinks when B is 1. The blinking is displayed as switching
between all blank dots and displayed characters at a speed of 370-ms intervals when fcp or fOSC is 270 kHz.
The cursor and blinking can be set to display simultaneously. (The blinking frequency changes according
to fOSC or the reciprocal of fcp. For example, when fcp is 300 kHz, 370 × 270/300 = 333 ms.)
Extended Function Set
When the extended register enable bit (RE) is 1, FW, B/W, and NW bit shown below are accessed.
Once these registers are accessed, the set values are held even if the RE bit is set to zero.
FW: When FW is 1, each displayed character is controlled with a 6-dot width. The user font in CGRAM
is displayed with a 6-bit character width from bits 5 to 0. As for fonts stored in CGROM, no display area
is assigned to the left most bit, and the font is displayed with a 5-bit character width. If the FW bit is
changed, data in DDRAM and CGRAM SEGRAM is destroyed. Therefore, set FW before data is written
to RAM. When font width is set to 6 dots, the frame frequency decreases to 5/6 compared to 5-dot time.
See “Oscillator Circuit” for details.
B/W: When B/W is 1, the character at the cursor position is cyclically displayed with black-white
inversion. At this time, bits C and B in display on/off control register are “Don’t care.” When fCP or fOSC is
270 kHz, display is changed by switching every 370 ms.
NW: When NW is 1, 4-line display is performed. At this time, bit N in the function set register is “Don’t
care.”

HD66712U
Cursor or Display Shift
Cursor or display shift shifts the cursor position or display to the right or left without writing or reading
display data (Table 10). This function is used to correct or search the display. In a 2-line display, the
cursor moves to the second line when it passes the 40th digit of the first line. In a 4-line display, the
cursor moves to the second line when it passes the 20th character of the line. Note that, all line displays
will shift at the same time. When the displayed data is shifted repeatedly each line moves only
horizontally. The second line display does not shift into the first line position. When this instruction is
executed, extended register enable bit (RE) is reset.
The address counter (AC) contents will not change if the only action performed is a display shift. In low
power mode (LP = 1), whole-display shift cannot be normally performed.
Scroll Enable
When extended register enable bit (RE) is 1, scroll enable bits can be set.
This HSE resister specifies scrolled line with the scroll quantity register. This register consists of 4 bits
for each display line, so a specified line can be shifted by dot unit. When the bit 0 of HSE is 1 in four line
mode (NW = 1), the first line can be shifted, and the bit 1 is specified to shift the second line, the bit 2 is
specified for the third line, and bit 3 is specified for the fourth line. When it shifts the first line in two line
mode (N = 1, NW = 0), both the bit 0 and bit 1 should be set to 1. The bit 2 and bit 3 is specified for the
second line.
In 1 line mode (N = 0, NW = 0), the bit 0 and bit 1 should be specified.
Function Set
Only when the extended register enable bit (RE) is 1, the BE and the LP bits shown below can be
accessed. Bits DL and N can be accessed regardless of RE.
DL: Sets the interface data length. Data is sent or received in 8-bit lengths (DB7 to DB0) when DL is 1,
and in 4-bit lengths (DB7 to DB4) when DL is 0. When 4-bit length is selected, data must be sent or
received twice.
N: When bit NW in the extended function set is 0, a 1- or a 2-line display is set. When N is 0, 1-line
display is selected; when N is 1, 2-line display is selected. When NW is 1, a 4-line display is set. At this
time, N is “Don’t care.”
Note: After changing the N or NW or LP bit, please issue the Return Home or Clear Display instruction
to cancel to shift display.
407
HD66712U
RE: When bit RE is 1, bit BE in the extended function set register, the SEGRAM address set register,
and the function set register can be accessed. When bit RE is 0, the registers described above cannot be
accessed, and the data in these registers is held.
To maintain compatibility with the HD44780, the RE bit should be fixed to 0.

BE: When the RE bit is 1, this bit can be rewritten. When this bit is 1, the user font in CGRAM and the
segment in SEGRAM can be blinked according to the upper two bits of CGRAM and SEGRAM.
LP: When bit RE is 1, this bit can be rewritten. When LP is set to 1 and the EXT pin is low (without an
extended driver), the HD66712 operates in low power mode. In 1-line display mode, the HD66712
operates on a 4-division clock, and in a 2-line or a 4-line display mode, the HD66712 operates on a 2division clock. According to these operations, instruction execution takes four times or twice as long.
Note that in low power mode, display shift cannot be performed. The frame frequency is reduced to 5/6
that of normal operation. See “Oscillator Circuit” for details.
Note: Perform the DL, N, NW, and FW fucntions at the head of the program before executing any
instructions (except for the read busy flag and address instruction). From this point, if bits N,
NW, or FW are changed after other instructions are executed, RAM contents may be broken.
Set CGRAM Address
A CGRAM address can be set while the RE bit is cleared to 0.
Set CGRAM address into the address counter displayed by binary AAAAAA. After this address set, data
is written to or read from the MPU for CGRAM.
Set SEGRAM Address
Only when the extended register enable (RE) bit is 1, HS2 to HS0 and the SEGRAM address can be set.
The SEGRAM address in the binary form AAAA is set to the address counter. After this address set,
SEGRAM can be written to or read from by the MPU.
408
HD66712U
Set DDRAM Address
A DDRAM address can be set while the RE bit is cleared to 0. Set DDRAM address sets the DDRAM
address binary AAAAAAA into the address counter.
After this address set, data is written to or read from the MPU for DDRAM.
However, when N and NW is 0 (1-line display), AAAAAAA can be (00)H to (4F)H. When N is 1 and
NW is 0 (2-line display), AAAAAAA is (00)H to (27)H for the first line, and (40)H to (67)H for the
second line. When NW is 1 (4-line display), AAAAAAA is (00)H to (13)H for the first line, (20)H to
(33)H for the second line, (40)H to (53)H for the third line, and (60)H to (73)H for the fourth line.
Set Scroll Quantity
When extended registor enable bit (RE) is 1, HDS5 to HDS0 can be set.
HDS5 to HDS0 specifies horizontal scroll quantity to the left of the display in dot units. The HD66712
uses the unused DDRAM area to execute a desired horizontal smooth scroll from 1 to 48 dots.
Note: When performing a horizontal scroll as described above by connecting an extended driver, the
maximum number of characters per line decreases by the quantity set by the above horizontal
scroll. For example, when the maximum 24-dot scroll quantity (4 characters) is used with 6-dot
font width and 4-line display, the maximum numbers of characters is 20 – 4 = 16. Notice that in
low power mode (LP = 1), display shift and scroll cannot be performed.
Read Busy Flag and Address
Read busy flag and address reads the busy flag (BF) indicating that the system is now internally operating
on a previously received instruction. If BF is 1, the internal operation is in progress. The next instruction
will not be accepted until BF is reset to 0. Check the BF status before the next write operation. At the
same time, the value of the address counter in binary AAAAAAA is read out. This address counter is
used by both CG, DD, and SEGRAM addresses, and its value is determined by the previous instruction.
The address contents are the same as for CGRAM, DDRAM, and SEGRAM address set instructions.
Write Data to CG, DD, or SEGRAM
This instruction writes 8-bit binary data DDDDDDDD to CG, DD or SEGRAM. CG, DD or SEGRAM is
selected by the previous specification of the address set instruction (CGRAM address set / DDRAM
address set / SEGRAM address set). After a write, the address is automatically incremented or
decremented by 1 according to the entry mode. The entry mode also determines the display shift
direction.
409
HD66712U
Read Data from CG, DD, or SEG RAM
This instruction reads 8-bit binary data DDDDDDDD from CG, DD, or SEGRAM. CG, DD or SEGRAM
is selected by the previous specification of the address set instruction. If no address is specified, the first
data read will be invalid. When executing serial read instructions, the next address is normally read from
the next address. An address set instruction need not be executed just before this read instruction when
shifting the cursor by a cursor shift instruction (when reading from DDRAM). A cursor shift instruction is
the same as a set DDRAM address instruction.
After a read, the entry mode automatically increases or decreases the address by 1. However, a display
shift is not executed regardless of the entry mode.
Note: The address counter (AC) is automatically incremented or decremented after write instructions to
CG, DD or SEGRAM. The RAM data selected by the AC cannot be read out at this time even if
read instructions are executed. Therefore, to read data correctly, execute either an address set
instruction or a cursor shift instruction (only with DDRAM), or alternatively, execute a
preliminary read instruction to ensure the address is correctly set up before accessing the data.

* After execution of the CGRAM/DDRAM data write or read instruction, the RAM address
counter is incremented or decremented by 1. The RAM address counter is updated after the
busy flag turns off. In Figure 17, tADD is the time elapsed after the busy flag turns off until the
address counter is updated.
2. Extension time changes as frequency changes. For example, when f is 300 kHz, the execution
time is: 37 µs × 270/300 = 33 µs.
3. Execution time in a low-power mode (LP = 1 and EXT = low) becomes four times for a 1-line
mode, and twice for a 2- or 4-line mode.

Notes: 1. Boosting output voltage should not exceed the power supply voltage (2) (13V max.)
in the absolute maximum ratings. Especially, voltage of over 4.3V should not be input
to the reference voltage (Vci) when boosting three times.
2. Vci input terminal is used for reference voltage and power supply for the internal booster.
Input current into the Vci pin needs three times or more of load current through the
bleeder resistor for LCD. So, when it adjusts LCD driving voltage (Vlcd), input voltage
should be controlled with transistor to supply LCD load current. Please notice
connection (+/–) when it uses capacitors with poler.
3. The Vci must be set below the power supply (VCC).

Instruction and Display Correspondence
• 8-bit operation, 24-digit × 1-line display with internal reset
Refer to Table 16 for an example of an 24-digit × 1-line display in 8-bit operation. The HD66712
functions must be set by the function set instruction prior to the display. Since the display data RAM
can store data for 80 characters, a character unit scroll can be performed by a display shift instruction.
A dot unit smooth scroll can also be performed by a horizontal scroll instruction. Since data of display
RAM (DDRAM) is not changed by a display shift instruction, the display can be returned to the first
set display when the return home operation is performed.
• 4-bit operation, 24-digit × 1-line display with internal reset
The program must set all functions prior to the 4-bit operation (see Table 17.) When the power is
turned on, 8-bit operation is automatically selected and the first write is performed as an 8-bit
operation. Since DB0 to DB3 are not connected, a rewrite is then required. However, since one
operation is completed in two accesses for 4-bit operation, a rewrite is needed to set the functions.
Thus, DB4 to DB7 of the function set instruction is written twice.
• 8-bit operation, 24-digit × 2-line display with internal reset
For a 2-line display, the cursor automatically moves from the first to the second line after the 40th
digit of the first line has been written. Thus, if there are only 16 characters in the first line, the
DDRAM address must be again set after the 16th character is completed. (See Table 18.)
The display shift is performed for the first and second lines. If the shift is repeated, the display of the
second line will not move to the first line. The same display will only shift within its own line for the
number of times the shift is repeated.
• 8-bit operation, 12-digit × 4-line display with internal reset
The RE bit must be set by the function set instruction and then the NW bit must be set by an
extension function set instruction. In this case, 4-line display is always performed regardless of the N
bit setting (see Table 19).
In a 4-line display, the cursor automatically moves from the first to the second line after the 20th digit
of the first line has been written. Thus, if there are only 8 characters in the first line, the DDRAM
address must be set again after the 8th character is completed. Display shifts are performed on all
lines simultaneously.
Note: When using the internal reset, the electrical characteristics in the Power Supply Conditions Using
Internal Reset Circuit Table must be satisfied. If not, the HD66712 must be initialized by
instructions. See the section, Initializing by Instruction.

Horizontal Dot Scroll
Dot unit scrolls are performed by setting the horizontal dot scroll quantity resister (HDS) when the
extension register is enabled (RE = “1”). And the shifted line can be selected with the scroll enable
register (HDE). So, it can control dot unit shifts by each display line.
To scroll smoothly, HD66712 supports 6 dots-font width mode (FW = 1). The below figures are examples
of scroll display.

Note: When perfoming a dot scroll with an extended driver, the maximum number or characters
per line decreases by quantity set by the dot scroll. For example, when the maximum
24-dot scroll quantity (4 characters) is used with 6-dot font width and 4-line display,
the maximum numbers of character is 20 – 4 = 16. Notice that in low power mode (LP = 1),
display shift and dot scroll cannot be performed.
Figure 32 Method of Smooth Scroll Display
434
HD66712U
Low Power Mode
When the extension driver is not used (EXT = Low) with extension register enabled (RE = 1), the
HD66712 enters low power mode by setting the low-power mode bit (LP) to 1. During low-power mode,
as the internal operation clock is divided by 2 (2-line/4-line display mode) or by 4 (1-line display mode),
the execution time of each instruction becomes two times or four times longer than normal. In addition,
as the frame frequency decreases to 5/6, display quality might be affected.
In addition, since the display is not shifted in low power mode, display shift must be cleared with the
return home instruction before setting low power mode. The amount of horizontal scroll must also be
cleared (HDS = 000000). Moreover, because the display enters a shift state after clearing low-power
mode, the home return instruction must be used to clear display shift at that time.

Electrical Characteristics Notes
1. All voltage values are referred to GND = 0V. If the LSI is used above the absolute maximum ratings,
it may become permanently damaged. Using the LSI within the following electrical characteristic is
strongly recommended to ensure normal operation. If these electrical characteristic are also exceeded,
the LSI may malfunction or exhibit poor reliability.
2. VCC ≥ V1 ≥ V2 ≥ V3 ≥ V4 ≥ V5 must be maintained.
3. For die products, specified up to 75°C.
4. For die products, specified by the die shipment specification.
5. The following four circuits are I/O pin configurations except for liquid crystal display output.

10. Input/output current is excluded. When input is at an intermediate level with CMOS, the excessive
current flows through the input circuit to the power supply. To avoid this from happening, the input
level must be fixed high or low.

Rf : 110 kΩ ± 2% (when VCC = 3V to 4V)

Since the oscillation frequency varies depending on the OSC1 and
OSC2 pin capacitance, the wiring length to these pins should be minimized.
