1. General description
The PCF8562 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 32 segments. The PCF8562
is compatible with most microprocessors or microcontrollers and communicates via a
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).

NXP Semiconductors PCF8562
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The host microprocessor or microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication
channel with the PCF8562. 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.
7.1 Power-on reset
At power-on the PCF8562 resets to the following starting conditions:
All backplane outputs are set to VLCD
All segment outputs are set to VLCD
The selected drive mode is: 1:4 multiplex with 13bias
Blinking is switched off
Input and output bank selectors are reset
The I2C-bus interface is initialized
The data pointer and the subaddress counter are cleared (set to logic 0)
Display is disabled
Data transfers on the I2C-bus must be avoided for 1 ms following power-on to allow the
reset action to complete.
7.2 LCD bias generator
Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider consisting of
three impedances connected in series between VLCD and VSS. The middle resistor can be
bypassed to provide a 12bias voltage level for the 1:2 multiplex configuration. The LCD
voltage can be temperature compensated externally using the supply to pin VLCD.
7.3 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 (see Section 7.17) from the command decoder. The biasing
The resistance of the power lines must be kept to a minimum.

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 5.
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 >3V
th.
Multiplex drive modes of 1:3 and 1:4 with 12bias 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 the equation
(1)
where VLCD is the resultant voltage at the LCD segment and where the values for n are
n = 1 for static mode
n = 2 for 1:2 multiplex
n = 3 for 1:3 multiplex
n = 4 for 1:4 multiplex
The RMS off-state voltage (Voff(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with the equation:
(2)
Discrimination is the ratio of Von(RMS) to Voff(RMS) and is determined from the equation:
(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.
It should be noted that VLCD is sometimes referred as the LCD operating voltage.

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
7.5 Oscillator
7.5.1 Internal clock
The internal logic of the PCF8562 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. After power-on, pin SDA must be HIGH to guarantee that the clock starts.
7.5.2 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).
A clock signal must always be supplied to the device; removing the clock freezes the LCD
in a DC state.
7.6 Timing
The PCF8562 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. The timing
also generates the LCD frame signal whose frequency is derived from the clock
frequency. The frame signal frequency is a fixed division of the clock frequency from either
the internal or an external clock: .
7.7 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.
7.8 Segment outputs
The LCD drive section includes 32 segment outputs S0 to S31 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 32 segment outputs are required, the unused segment outputs should be left
open-circuit.
7.9 Backplane outputs
The LCD drive section includes four 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 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 all 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.

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
7.10 Display RAM
The display RAM is a static 32 × 4-bit RAM which stores LCD data. A logic 1 in the RAM
bit-map indicates the on-state of the corresponding LCD element; 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 display RAM bit map Figure 9 shows the rows 0 to 3 which
correspond with the backplane outputs BP0 to BP3, and the columns 0 to 31 which
correspond with the segment outputs S0 to S31. 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 PCF8562, 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.
To illustrate the filling order, an example of a 7-segment numeric display showing all drive
modes is given in Figure 10; the RAM filling organization depicted applies equally to other
LCD types.
The following applies to Figure 10:
In the static drive mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0 of eight
successive 4-bit RAM words.
In the 1:2 multiplex mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into
row 0 and 1 of four successive 4-bit RAM words.
In the 1:3 multiplex mode, the eight bits are placed in triples into row 0, 1 and 2 to
three successive 4-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.
In the 1:4 multiplex mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples into
row 0, 1, 2 and 3 of two successive 4-bit RAM words.

also between bits in a RAM word and the backplane outputs.

NXP Semiconductors PCF8562
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
7.11 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 Section 7.17).
Following this command, an arriving data byte is stored at the display RAM address
indicated by the data pointer. The filling order shown in Figure 10.
After each byte is stored, the contents 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 is terminated early then the state of the data pointer is unknown.
The data pointer should be re-written prior to further RAM accesses.
7.12 Subaddress counter
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 (see Section 7.17). 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 hardware subaddress must not be changed while the device is being accessed on the
I2C-bus interface.
7.13 Output bank selector
The output bank selector selects one of the four rows per display RAM address for
transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the particular 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, row 2 and then row 3.
In 1:3 multiplex mode, row 0, 1 and 2 are selected sequentially
In 1:2 multiplex mode, row 0 and 1 are selected
In static mode, row 0 is selected
The PCF8562 includes a RAM bank switching feature in the static and 1:2 drive modes. In
the static drive mode, the bank-select command (see Section 7.17) may request the
contents of row 2 to be selected for display instead of the contents of row 0. In 1:2 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.

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
7.14 Input bank selector
The input bank selector loads display data into the display RAM in accordance with the
selected LCD drive configuration.
The bank-select command (see Section 7.17) can be used to load display data in row 2 in
static drive mode or in rows 2 and 3 in 1:2 mode. The input bank selector functions are
independent of the output bank selector.
7.15 Blinker
The PCF8562 has a very versatile display blinking capability. The whole display can blink
at a frequency selected by the blink-select command (see Table 13). Each blink frequency
is a fraction of the clock frequency; the ratio between the clock frequency and blink
frequency depends on the blink mode selected (see Table 6).
An additional feature allows an arbitrary selection of LCD segments to blink 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-select command (see Section 7.17).
In the 1:3 and 1:4 drive modes, where no alternative RAM bank is available, groups of
LCD segments can blink selectively by changing the display RAM data at fixed time
intervals.
The entire display can blink 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 (see Section 7.17).
[1] Blink modes 1, 2 and 3 and the nominal blink frequencies 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz and 2 Hz correspond to an oscillator
frequency (fclk) of 1536 Hz (see Section 11).

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
7.16 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.
7.16.1 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
will be interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 11).
7.16.2 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 Figure 12).
7.16.3 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 (see Figure 13).

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
7.16.4 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 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 Figure 14).
7.16.5 I2C-bus controller
The PCF8562 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 PCF8562 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.

7.16.6 Input filters
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are
provided on the SDA and SCL lines.
7.16.7 I2C-bus protocol
Two I2C-bus slave addresses (0111 000 and 0111 001) are reserved for the PCF8562.
The least significant bit of the slave address that a PCF8562 will respond to is defined by
the level tied to its SA0 input. The PCF8562 is a write-only device and will not respond to
a read access.
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Figure 15. The sequence is initiated with a START
condition (S) from the I2C-bus master which is followed by one of two possible PCF8562
slave addresses available. All PCF8562s 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 PCF8562s whose SA0 inputs are set to the alternative level.
After an acknowledgement, one or more command bytes follow, that define the status of
each addressed PCF8562.
The last command byte sent is identified by resetting its most significant bit, continuation
bit C, (see Figure 16). The command bytes are also acknowledged by all addressed
PCF8562s 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.

An acknowledgement after each byte is asserted only by the PCF8562s 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.
7.17 Command decoder
The command decoder identifies command bytes that arrive on the I2C-bus.
The commands available to the PCF8562 are defined in Table 7.
[1] Not used.
All available commands carry a continuation bit C in their most significant bit position as
shown in Figure 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 (see Table 8).

[1] The bank-select command has no effect in 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex drive modes.
[1] Normal blinking is assumed when the LCD multiplex drive modes 1:3 or 1:4 are selected.
[2] Alternating RAM bank blinking does not apply in 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex drive modes.
7.18 Display controller
The display controller executes the commands identified by the command decoder. It
contains the device’s status registers and coordinates their effects. The display controller
is also responsible for loading display data into the display RAM in the correct filling order.
7.19 Multiple chip operation
For large display configurations or for more segments (> 128 elements) to drive please
refer to the PCF8576D device.
The contact resistance between the SYNC input/output on each cascaded device must be
controlled. If the resistance is too high, the device will not be able to synchronize properly;
this is particularly applicable to chip-on-glass applications. The maximum SYNC contact
resistance allowed for the number of devices in cascade is given in Table 14.

14. 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”
.
14.1 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.
14.2 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

14.3 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
14.4 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 21) 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 18 and 19
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 21.
