CHAPTER 12 LCD CONTROLLER/DRIVER

12.2

Block Diagram of LCD Controller/Driver

The LCD controller/driver is made up of seven blocks listed below. Functionally, the
circuit can be broken into two major sections: the controller section, which generates
LCD segment and common signals based on the current contents of display RAM, and
the driver section, which develops sufficient drive to operate the display.
• LCD control register (LCDR)
• Display RAM
• Prescaler
• Timing controller
• V/I converter
• Common output driver
• Segment output driver
