PCF8576 Universal LCD Driver For Low Multiplex Rates

The PCF8576 is a peripheral device which Interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) 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 and CAN easily be cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCF8576 is compatible with most Microprocessors Microcontrollers and communicates via a two-line bidirectional IC-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).
