7 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PCF8578
Timing signals are derived from the on-chip oscillator, whose frequency is determined by the value of the resistor connected between OSC and VSS. Commands sent on the I2C-bus from the host microcontroller set the mode (row or mixed), configuration (multiplex rate and number of rows and columns) and control the operation of the device. The device may have one of two slave addresses. The only difference between these slave addresses is the least significant bit, which is set by the logic level applied to SA0. The PCF8578 and PCF8579 also have subaddresses. The subaddress of the PCF8578 is only defined in mixed mode and is fixed at 0. The RAM may only be accessed in mixed mode and data is loaded as described for the PCF8579. Bias levels may be generated by an external potential divider with appropriate decoupling capacitors. For large displays, bias sources with high drive capability should be used. A typical mixed mode system operating with up to 15 PCF8579s is shown in Fig.5 (a stand-alone system would be identical but without the PCF8579s).
The PCF8578 row/column driver is designed for use in one of three ways: * Stand-alone row/column driver for small displays (mixed mode) * Row/column driver with cascaded PCF8579s (mixed mode) * Row driver with cascaded PCF8579s (mixed mode). 7.1 Mixed mode
In mixed mode, the device functions as both a row and column driver. It can be used in small stand-alone applications, or for larger displays with up to 15 PCF8579s (31 PCF8579s when two slave addresses are used). See Table 1 for common display configurations. 7.2 Row mode
In row mode, the device functions as a row driver with up to 32 row outputs and provides the clock and synchronization signals for the PCF8579. Up to 16 PCF8579s can normally be cascaded (32 when two slave addresses are used).

7.3 Multiplexed LCD bias generation 7.4 Power-on reset
PCF8578
The bias levels required to produce maximum contrast depend on the multiplex rate and the LCD threshold voltage (Vth). Vth is typically defined as the RMS voltage at which the LCD exhibits 10% contrast. Table 2 shows the optimum voltage bias levels for the PCF8578 as functions of Vop (Vop = VDD - VLCD), together with the discrimination ratios (D) for the different multiplex rates. A practical value for Vop is obtained by equating Voff(rms) with Vth. Figure 4 shows the first 4 rows of Table 2 as graphs. Table 3 shows the relative values of the resistors required in the configuration of Fig.5 to produce the standard multiplex rates. Table 2 Optimum LCD voltages MULTIPLEX RATE PARAMETER 1:8 V2 -------V op V3 -------V op V4 -------V op V5 -------V op V off ( rms ) ---------------------V op V on ( rms ) ---------------------V op V on ( rms ) D = ---------------------V off ( rms ) V op -------V th Table 3 0.739 1 : 16 0.800 1 : 24 0.830 1 : 32
At power-on the PCF8578 resets to a defined starting condition as follows: 1. Display blank 2. 1 : 32 multiplex rate, row mode 3. Start bank, 0 selected 4. Data pointer is set to X, Y address 0, 0 5. Character mode 6. Subaddress counter is set to 0 7. I2C-bus interface is initialized. Data transfers on the I2C-bus should be avoided for 1 ms following power-on, to allow completion of the reset action.

7.5 Internal clock 7.6 External clock
PCF8578
The clock signal for the system may be generated by the internal oscillator and prescaler. The frequency is determined by the value of the resistor ROSC, see Fig.9. For normal use a value of 330 k is recommended. The clock signal, for cascaded PCF8579s, is output at CLK and has a frequency 16 (multiplex rate 1 : 8, 1 : 16 and 1 : 32) or 18 (multiplex rate 1 : 24) of the oscillator frequency.
If an external clock is used, OSC must be connected to VDD and the external clock signal to CLK. Table 4 summarizes the nominal CLK and SYNC frequencies. 7.7 Timing generator
10 3 f OSC (kHz) 10 2
MSA837
The timing generator of the PCF8578 organizes the internal data flow of the device and generates the LCD frame synchronization pulse SYNC, whose period is an integer multiple of the clock period. In cascaded applications, this signal maintains the correct timing relationship between the PCF8578 and PCF8579s in the system. 7.8 Row/column drivers

Outputs R0 to R7 and C32 to C39 are fixed as row and column drivers respectively. The remaining 24 outputs R8/C8 to R31/C31 are programmable and may be configured (in blocks of 8) to be either row or column drivers. The row select signal is produced sequentially at each output from R0 up to the number defined by the multiplex rate (see Table 1). In mixed mode the remaining outputs are configured as columns. In row mode all programmable outputs (R8/C8 to R31/C31) are defined as row drivers and the outputs C32 to C39 should be left open-circuit. Using a 1 : 16 multiplex rate, two sets of row outputs are driven, thus facilitating split-screen configurations, i.e. a row select pulse appears simultaneously at R0 and R16/C16, R1 and R17/C17 etc. Similarly, using a multiplex rate of 1 : 8, four sets of row outputs are driven simultaneously. Driver outputs must be connected directly to the LCD. Unused outputs should be left open-circuit. In 1 : 8 R0 to R7 are rows; in 1 : 16 R0 to R15/C15 are rows; in 1 : 24 R0 to R23/C23 are rows; in 1 : 32 R0 to R31/C31 are rows.
To avoid capacitive coupling, which could adversely affect oscillator stability, ROSC should be placed as closely as possible to the OSC pin. If this proves to be a problem, a filtering capacitor may be connected in parallel to ROSC.

7.9 Display mode controller 7.15 RAM access
PCF8578
The configuration of the outputs (row or column) and the selection of the appropriate driver waveforms are controlled by the display mode controller. 7.10 Display RAM
RAM operations are only possible when the PCF8578 is in mixed mode. In this event its hardware subaddress is internally fixed at 0000 and the hardware subaddresses of any PCF8579 used in conjunction with the PCF8578 must start at 0001. There are three RAM ACCESS modes: * Character * Half-graphic * Full-graphic. These modes are specified by bits G1 to G0 of the RAM ACCESS command. The RAM ACCESS command controls the order in which data is written to or read from the RAM (see Fig.10). To store RAM data, the user specifies the location into which the first byte will be loaded (see Fig.11): * Device subaddress (specified by the DEVICE SELECT command) * RAM X-address (specified by the LOAD X-ADDRESS command) * RAM bank (specified by bits Y1 and Y0 of the RAM ACCESS command). Subsequent data bytes will be written or read according to the chosen RAM ACCESS mode. Device subaddresses are automatically incremented between devices until the last device is reached. If the last device has subaddress 15, further display data transfers will lead to a wrap-around of the subaddress to 0. 7.16 Display control
The PCF8578 contains a 32 x 40-bit static RAM which stores the display data. The RAM is divided into 4 banks of 40 bytes (4 x 8 x 40 bits). During RAM access, data is transferred to/from the RAM via the I2C-bus. The first eight columns of data (0 to 7) cannot be displayed but are available for general data storage and provide compatibility with the PCF8579. There is a direct correspondence between X-address and column output number. 7.11 Data pointer
The addressing mechanism for the display RAM is realized using the data pointer. This allows an individual data byte or a series of data bytes to be written into, or read from, the display RAM, controlled by commands sent on the I2C-bus. 7.12 Subaddress counter
The storage and retrieval of display data is dependent on the content of the subaddress counter. Storage takes place only when the contents of the subaddress counter agree with the hardware subaddress. The hardware subaddress of the PCF8578, valid in mixed mode only, is fixed at 0000. 7.13 I2C-bus controller
The I2C-bus controller detects the I2C-bus protocol, slave address, commands and display data bytes. It performs the conversion of the data input (serial-to-parallel) and the data output (parallel-to-serial). The PCF8578 acts as an I2C-bus slave transmitter/receiver in mixed mode, and as a slave receiver in row mode. A slave device cannot control bus communication. 7.14 Input filters
The display is generated by continuously shifting rows of RAM data to the dot matrix LCD via the column outputs. The number of rows scanned depends on the multiplex rate set by bits M1 and M0 of the SET MODE command. The display status (all dots on/off and normal/inverse video) is set by bits E1 and E0 of the SET MODE command. For bank switching, the RAM bank corresponding to the top of the display is set by bits B1 and B0 of the SET START BANK command. This is shown in Fig.12. This feature is useful when scrolling in alphanumeric applications. 7.17 TEST pin
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are provided on the SDA and SCL lines.
The TEST pin must be connected to VSS.

8 I2C-BUS PROTOCOL
PCF8578
In READ mode, indicated by setting the read/write bit HIGH, data bytes may be read from the RAM following the slave address acknowledgement. After this acknowledgement the master transmitter becomes a master receiver and the PCF8578 becomes a slave transmitter. The master receiver must acknowledge the reception of each byte in turn. The master receiver must signal an end of data to the slave transmitter, by not generating an acknowledge on the last byte clocked out of the slave. The slave transmitter then leaves the data line HIGH, enabling the master to generate a stop condition (P). Display bytes are written into, or read from, the RAM at the address specified by the data pointer and subaddress counter. Both the data pointer and subaddress counter are automatically incremented, enabling a stream of data to be transferred either to, or from, the intended devices. In multiple device applications, the hardware subaddress pins of the PCF8579s (A0 to A3) are connected to VSS or VDD to represent the desired hardware subaddress code. If two or more devices share the same slave address, then each device must be allocated a unique hardware subaddress.
Two 7-bit slave addresses (0111100 and 0111101) are reserved for both the PCF8578 and PCF8579. The least significant bit of the slave address is set by connecting input SA0 to either 0 (VSS) or 1 (VDD). Therefore, two types of PCF8578 or PCF8579 can be distinguished on the same I2C-bus which allows: 1. One PCF8578 to operate with up to 32 PCF8579s on the same I2C-bus for very large applications 2. The use of two types of LCD multiplex schemes on the same I2C-bus. In most applications the PCF8578 will have the same slave address as the PCF8579. The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Fig.13. All communications are initiated with a start condition (S) from the I2C-bus master, which is followed by the desired slave address and read/write bit. All devices with this slave address acknowledge in parallel. All other devices ignore the bus transfer. In WRITE mode (indicated by setting the read/write bit LOW) one or more commands follow the slave address acknowledgement. The commands are also acknowledged by all addressed devices on the bus. The last command must clear the continuation bit C. After the last command a series of data bytes may follow. The acknowledgement after each byte is made only by the (A0, A1, A2 and A3) addressed PCF8579 or PCF8578 with its implicit subaddress 0. After the last data byte has been acknowledged, the I2C-bus master issues a stop condition (P).

8.1 Command decoder
MSB C REST OF OPCODE
PCF8578
The command decoder identifies command bytes that arrive on the I2C-bus. The most-significant bit of a command is the continuation bit C (see Fig.14). When this bit is set, it indicates that the next byte to be transferred will also be a command. If the bit is reset, it indicates the conclusion of the command transfer. Further bytes will be regarded as display data. Commands are transferred in WRITE mode only. The five commands available to the PCF8578 are defined in Tables 5 and 6.

9 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE I2C-BUS 9.4 Acknowledge
PCF8578
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) which must be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy. 9.1 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 moment will be interpreted as control signals. 9.2 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). 9.3 System configuration
The number of data bytes transferred between the start and stop conditions from transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each data byte of eight bits is followed by one acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a HIGH level put on the bus by the transmitter, whereas the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse. A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. Also a master 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 taken into consideration). A master receiver must signal the end of a data transmission 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.
A device transmitting a message is a 'transmitter', a device receiving a message is the 'receiver'. The device that controls the message flow is the 'master' and the devices which are controlled by the master are the 'slaves'.

18 SOLDERING 18.1 Introduction
PCF8578
If wave soldering cannot be avoided, for LQFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.5 mm, the following conditions must be observed: * A double-wave (a turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave) soldering technique should be used. * The footprint must be at an angle of 45 to the board direction and must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners. 18.3.2 VSO
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for printed-circuits with high population densities. In these situations reflow soldering is often used. 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" (order code 9398 652 90011). 18.2 Reflow soldering
Wave soldering techniques can be used for all VSO packages if the following conditions are observed: * A double-wave (a turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave) soldering technique should be used. * The longitudinal axis of the package footprint must be parallel to the solder flow. * The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end. 18.3.3 METHOD (LQFP AND VSO)
Reflow soldering techniques are suitable for all LQFP and VSO packages. 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. Several methods exist for reflowing; for example, infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary between 50 and 300 seconds depending on heating method. Typical reflow peak temperatures range from 215 to 250 C. 18.3 18.3.1 Wave soldering LQFP
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. Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 C, and maximum duration of package immersion in solder is 10 seconds, if cooled to less than 150 C within 6 seconds. Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 C. A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in most applications. 18.4 Repairing soldered joints
Wave soldering is not recommended for LQFP packages. This is because of the likelihood of solder bridging due to closely-spaced leads and the possibility of incomplete solder penetration in multi-lead devices. CAUTION Wave soldering is NOT applicable for all LQFP packages with a pitch (e) equal or less than 0.5 mm.
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonallyopposite end leads. Use only a low voltage soldering iron (less than 24 V) applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 C. When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between 270 and 320 C.
