PCA2117 - NXP

PCA2117 Automotive LCD driver

The PCA2117 is a low-power Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)1 controller and driver. It is specifically designed to drive LCD dot-matrix displays of 2-lines by 20 characters or 1-line by 40 characters with 5  8 dot format. In addition 200 icons can be displayed. The chip contains a character generator and displays alphanumeric characters. The PCA2117 features an.

Features

an internal charge pump with internal capacitors for on-chip generation of the LCD driving voltage. To ensure an optimal and stable contrast over the full temperature range, the PCA2117 offers a programmable temperature compensation of the LCD supply voltage. The PCA2117 can be easily connected to a microcontroller by either the two-line I2C-bus or a four-line bidirectional SPI-bus. Various character sets can be manufactured on request. In addition up to 48 user-defined symbols (5  8 dot format) can be stored.
