1. General description
The PCF85176 is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD)1 with low multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or
multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 40 segments. It can be easily
cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCF85176 is compatible with most
microcontrollers and communicates via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Communication
overheads are minimized by a display RAM with auto-incremented addressing, by
hardware subaddressing, and by display memory switching (static and duplex drive
modes).
For a selection of NXP LCD segment drivers, see Table 24 on page 49.

7.1.5 Command: blink-select
The blink-select command allows configuring the blink mode and the blink frequency.
[1] Default value.
[2] Normal blinking is assumed when the LCD multiplex drive modes 1:3 or 1:4 are selected.
[3] Alternate RAM bank blinking does not apply in 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex drive modes.
7.1.5.1 Blinking
The display blinking capabilities of the PCF85176 are very versatile. The whole display
can blink at frequencies selected by the blink-select command (see Table 11). The blink
frequencies are derived from the clock frequency. The ratio between the clock and blink
frequencies depends on the blink mode selected (see Table 12).
An additional feature is for an arbitrary selection of LCD segments/elements to blink. This
applies to the static and 1:2 multiplex drive modes and can be implemented without any
communication overheads. With the output bank selector, the displayed RAM banks are
exchanged with alternate RAM banks at the blink frequency. This mode can also be
specified by the blink-select command.
In the 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex modes, where no alternative RAM bank is available, groups of
LCD segments/elements can blink by selectively changing the display RAM data at fixed
time intervals.
The entire display can blink at a frequency other than the nominal blink frequency. This
can be effectively performed by resetting and setting the display enable bit E at the
required rate using the mode-set command (see Table 7).

40 x 4 universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The host microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication channel with the
PCF85176. 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 the power supplies (VDD,
VSS, and VLCD) and the LCD panel chosen for the application.
7.3.1 LCD bias generator
Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider of three
impedances connected between VLCD and VSS. The center impedance is bypassed by
switch if the 12bias voltage level for the 1:2 multiplex drive mode configuration is
selected.
7.3.2 Display register
The display register holds the display data while the corresponding multiplex signals are
generated.
7.3.3 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 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 14.
Discrimination is a term which is defined as the ratio of the on and off RMS voltage across
a segment. It can be thought of as a measurement of contrast.
The resistance of the power lines must be kept to a minimum.

40 x 4 universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
A practical value for VLCD is determined by equating Voff(RMS) with a defined LCD
threshold voltage (Vth(off)), typically when the LCD exhibits approximately 10 % contrast. In
the static drive mode, a suitable choice is VLCD >3V
th(off).
Multiplex drive modes of 1:3 and 1:4 with 12 bias are possible but the discrimination and
hence the contrast ratios are smaller.
Bias is calculated by , where the values for a are
a = 1 for 12 bias
a = 2 for 13 bias
The RMS on-state voltage (Von(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 1:
(1)
where the values for n are
n = 1 for static drive mode
n = 2 for 1:2 multiplex drive mode
n = 3 for 1:3 multiplex drive mode
n = 4 for 1:4 multiplex drive mode
The RMS off-state voltage (Voff(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 2:
(2)
Discrimination is the ratio of Von(RMS) to Voff(RMS) and is determined from Equation 3:
(3)
Using Equation 3, the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:3 multiplex with
12bias is and the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:4 multiplex with
12bias is .
The advantage of these LCD drive modes is a reduction of the LCD full scale voltage VLCD
as follows:
1:3 multiplex (12 bias):
1:4 multiplex (12 bias):
These compare with when 13 bias is used.
VLCD is sometimes referred as the LCD operating voltage.

Suitable values for Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are dependent on the LCD liquid used. The
RMS voltage, at which a pixel is switched on or off, determine the transmissibility of the
pixel.
For any given liquid, there are two threshold values defined. One point is at 10 % relative
transmission (at Vth(off)) and the other at 90 % relative transmission (at Vth(on)), see
Figure 6. For a good contrast performance, the following rules should be followed:
(4)
(5)
Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are properties of the display driver and are affected by the selection
of a, n (see Equation 1 to Equation 3) and the VLCD voltage.
Vth(off) and Vth(on) are properties of the LCD liquid and can be provided by the module
manufacturer. Vth(off) is sometimes named Vth. Vth(on) is sometimes named saturation
voltage Vsat.
It is important to match the module properties to those of the driver in order to achieve
optimum performance.

7.4 Oscillator
7.4.1 Internal clock
The internal logic of the PCF85176 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 PCF85176 in the system that are connected in cascade.
7.4.2 External clock
Pin CLK is enabled as an external clock input by connecting pin OSC to VDD. The LCD
frame frequency is determined by the clock frequency (fclk).
Remark: 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.
7.4.3 Timing
The PCF85176 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 PCF85176 in the system is
maintained by the synchronization signal at pin SYNC. The timing also generates the LCD
frame frequency signal. The frame frequency signal is a fixed division of the clock
frequency from either the internal or an external clock:
7.5 Backplane and segment outputs
7.5.1 Backplane outputs
The LCD drive section includes 4 backplane outputs BP0 to BP3 which must 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 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, respectively, BP1 and BP3 all carry the
same signals and may 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
7.5.2 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 register. When
less than 40 segment outputs are required, the unused segment outputs should be left
open-circuit.

7.6 Display RAM
The display RAM is a static 40 4-bit RAM which stores LCD data.
There is a one-to-one correspondence between
the bits in the RAM bitmap and the LCD segments/elements
the RAM columns and the segment outputs
the RAM rows and the backplane outputs.
A logic 1 in the RAM bitmap indicates the on-state of the corresponding LCD element;
similarly, a logic 0 indicates the off-state.
The display RAM bitmap, Figure 12, shows the rows 0 to 3 which correspond with the
backplane outputs BP0 to BP3, and the columns 0 to 39 which correspond with the
segment outputs S0 to S39. 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 PCF85176, 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 depending on the current multiplex drive mode the bits are stored singularly,
in pairs, triples, or quadruples. To illustrate the filling order, an example of a 7-segment
display showing all drive modes is given in Figure 13. The RAM filling organization
depicted applies equally to other LCD types.
In static drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed into row 0 as 1 byte
In 1:2 multiplex drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into
row 0 and 1 as four successive 2-bit RAM words
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode the 8 bits are placed in triples into row 0, 1, and 2 as three
successive 3-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 (see Section 7.6.3)
In 1:4 multiplex drive mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples
into row 0, 1, 2, and 3 as two successive 4-bit RAM words
The display RAM bitmap shows the direct relationship between the display RAM column and the
segment outputs; and between the bits in a RAM row and the backplane outputs.

NXP Semiconductors PCF85176
40 x 4 universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
7.6.1 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 8). 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 13.
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, then the state of the data pointer is unknown.
Consequently, the data pointer must be rewritten prior to further RAM accesses.
7.6.2 Subaddress counter
The storage of display data is determined by the contents of the subaddress counter.
Storage is allowed only when the content of the subaddress counter matches with the
hardware subaddress applied to A0, A1, and A2. The subaddress counter value is defined
by the device-select command (see Table 9). 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.
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 PCF85176 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.
The hardware subaddress must not be changed while the device is being accessed on the
I2C-bus interface.

7.6.3 RAM writing in 1:3 multiplex drive mode
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode, the RAM is written as shown in Table 15 (see Figure 13 as
well).
If the bit at position BP2/S2 would be written by a second byte transmitted, then the
mapping of the segment bits would change as illustrated in Table 16.
In the case described in Table 16, the RAM has to be written entirely and BP2/S2,
BP2/S5, BP2/S8 etc. have to be connected to segments/elements on the display. This can
be achieved by a combination of writing and rewriting the RAM like follows:
In the first write to the RAM, bits a7 to a0 are written
The data-pointer (see Section 7.6.1 on page 23) has to be set to the address of bit a1
In the second write, bits b7 to b0 are written, overwriting bits a1 and a0 with bits b7
and b6
The data-pointer has to be set to the address of bit b1
In the third write, bits c7 to c0 are written, overwriting bits b1 and b0 with bits c7 and
c6
Depending on the method of writing to the RAM (standard or entire filling by rewriting),
some segments/elements remain unused or can be used, but it has to be considered in
the module layout process as well as in the driver software design.

7.6.4 Writing over the RAM address boundary
In all multiplex drive modes, depending on the setting of the data pointer, it is possible to
fill the RAM over the RAM address boundary. If the PCF85176 is part of a cascade the
additional bits fall into the next device that also generates the acknowledge signal. If the
PCF85176 is a single device or the last device in a cascade, the additional bits are
discarded and no acknowledge signal is generated.
7.6.5 Bank selection
7.6.5.1 Output bank selector
The output bank selector (see Table 10) selects one of the four rows per display RAM
address for transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the
selected 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 PCF85176 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 multiplex 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.
7.6.5.2 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 (see
Table 10). The input bank selector functions independently to the output bank selector.
7.6.5.3 RAM bank switching
The PCF85176 includes a RAM bank switching feature in the static and 1:2 multiplex drive
modes. A bank can be thought of as one RAM row or a collection of RAM rows (see
Figure 14). The RAM bank switching gives the provision for preparing display information
in an alternative bank and to be able to switch to it once it is complete.

There are two banks; bank 0 and bank 1. Figure 14 shows the location of these banks
relative to the RAM map. Input and output banks can be set independently from one
another with the Bank-select command (see Table 10 on page 8). Figure 15 shows the
concept.
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 multiplex 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.
In Figure 16 an example is shown for 1:2 multiplex drive mode where the displayed data is
read from the first two rows of the memory (bank 0), while the transmitted data is stored in
the second two rows of the memory (bank 1).

8. 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.
8.1 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 is
interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 17).
8.2 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.
The START and STOP conditions are illustrated in Figure 18.
8.3 System configuration
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. The system configuration is shown in Figure 19.

8.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of 8 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 considered)
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 20.

8.5 I2C-bus controller
The PCF85176 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 PCF85176 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.
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.
8.6 Input filters
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are
provided on the SDA and SCL lines.
8.7 I2C-bus protocol
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (0111 000 and 0111 001) are used to address the
PCF85176. The entire I2C-bus slave address byte is shown in Table 17.
The PCF85176 is a write-only device and is not responding to a read access, therefore bit
0 should always be logic 0. Bit 1 of the slave address byte that a PCF85176 responds to,
is defined by the level tied to its SA0 input (VSS for logic 0 and VDD for logic 1).
Having two reserved slave addresses allows the following on the same I2C-bus:
Up to 16 PCF85176 for very large LCD applications
The use of two types of LCD multiplex drive modes
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Figure 21. The sequence is initiated with a START
condition (S) from the I2C-bus master which is followed by one of the two possible
PCF85176 slave addresses available. All PCF85176 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 PCF85176 whose SA0 inputs are set to the alternative level.

NXP Semiconductors PCF85176
40 x 4 universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
After an acknowledgement, one or more command bytes follow that define the status of
each addressed PCF85176.
The last command byte sent is identified by resetting its most significant bit, continuation
bit C (see Figure 22). The command bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed
PCF85176 on the bus.
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 PCF85176 device.
An acknowledgement after each byte is asserted only by the PCF85176 that are
addressed via address lines A0, 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.

14. Application information
14.1 Cascaded operation
Large display configurations of up to 16 PCF85176 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).
When cascaded PCF85176 are synchronized, they can share the backplane signals from
one of the devices in the cascade. The other PCF85176 of the cascade contribute
additional segment outputs. The backplanes can either be connected together to enhance
the drive capability or some can be left open-circuit (such as the ones from the slave
in Figure 27) or just some of the master and some of the slave an be taken to facilitate the
layout of the display.

NXP Semiconductors PCF85176
40 x 4 universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded
PCF85176. Synchronization is guaranteed after a 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 defining a multiplex drive mode when PCF85176
with different SA0 levels are cascaded).
SYNC is organized as an input/output pin. The output selection is realized as an
open-drain driver with an internal pull-up resistor. A PCF85176 asserts the SYNC line at
the onset of its last active backplane signal and monitors the SYNC line at all other times.
If synchronization in the cascade is lost, it is restored by the first PCF85176 to assert
SYNC. The timing relationship between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal
for the various drive modes of the PCF85176 are shown in Figure 28.
The PCF85176 can always be cascaded with other devices of the same type or
conditionally with other devices of the same family. This allows optimal drive selection for
a given number of pixels to display. Figure 25 and Figure 28 show the timing of the
synchronization signals.
Only one master but multiple slaves are allowed in a cascade. All devices in the cascade
have to use the same clock whether it is supplied externally or provided by the master.
(1) Is master (OSC connected to VSS).
(2) Is slave (OSC connected to VDD).

If an external clock source is used, all PCF85176 in the cascade must be configured such
as to receive the clock from that external source (pin OSC connected to VDD). Thereby it
must be ensured that the clock tree is designed such that on all PCF85176 the clock
propagation delay from the clock source to all PCF85176 in the cascade is as equal as
possible since otherwise synchronization artefacts may occur.
In mixed cascading configurations, care has to be taken that the specifications of the
individual cascaded devices are met at all times.

17.1 Tape and reel information
For tape and reel packing information, see Ref. 10 SOT357-1_518 and Ref. 11
SOT364-1_118” on page 52.
18. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
18.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
18.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
Through-hole components
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering

18.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities
18.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 31) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 22 and 23
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 31.
