O PERATING I NSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Seiko Instruments intelligent dot matrix liquid crystal display modules have on-board controller and LSI drivers, which display alpha numerics, Japanese KATA KANA characters and a wide variety of other symbols in either 5 x 7 dot matrix. The internal operation in the KS0066 controller chip is determined by signals sent from the MPU. The signals include: 1) Register select RS input consisting of instruction register (IR) when RS = 0 and data register (DR) when RS = 1; 2) Read/write (R/W); 3) Data bus (DB7~ DB0); and 4) Enable strobe (E) depending on the MPU or through an external parallel I/O port. Details on instructions data entry, execution times, etc. are explained in the following sections.

O PERATING I NSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION CODE EXPLANATIONS
The two registers 1) Instruction Register (IR) and the 2) Data Register (DR) in the KS0066 controller chip are directly controlled by the MPU. Control information is temporarily stored in these registers prior to internal operation start. This allows interface to various types of MPUs which operate at different speeds from that of the KS0066, and allows interface from peripheral control ICs. Internal operations of the KS0066 are determined from the signals sent from the MPU. These signals, including register selection signals (RS), Read/Write (R/W) and data bus signals (DB0 - DB7) are polled instructions.

ADDRESS COUNTER (AC)
The counter specifies an address when data is written into DD RAM or CG RAM and the data stored in DD RAM or CG RAM is read out. If an Address Set instruction (for DD RAM or CG RAM) is written in the IR, the address information is transferred from the IR to the AC. When display data is written into or read from DD RAM or CG RAM, the AC is automatically incremented or decremented by one according to the Entry Mode Set. The contents of the AC are output to DB0 to DB6; refer to above "Register Selection Table" when RS = 0 and R/W = 1. home position. In other words, the cursor returns to the first character block on the first line on all 1, 2, and 4 line character modules except L4044. I the above is entered on E2 (the second controller for lines 3 and 4), the cursor will return to the first character on the third line.

EXECUTION

OF

DISPLAY CLEAR

CURSOR HOME INSTRUCTIONS

Conditions of use When executing the Display Clear or Cursor Home instruction when the display is shifted (after execution of Display Shift instruction).

Restrictions The Cursor Home instruction should be executed again immediately after the Display Clear or Cursor Home instruction is executed. Do not leave an interval of a multiple of 400/fOSC* second after the first execution. · L4052: fOSC = 250 kHz · The other modules: fOSC = 270 kHz *fOSC: Oscillation frequency Before executing the Cursor Home instruction, the data of the four DD RAM addresses given at the left should be read and saved. After execution, write the data again in DD RAM. (This restriction is necessary to prevent the contents of the DD RAM addresses from being destroyed after the Cursor Home instruction has been executed.)

When 23H, 27H, 63H, or 67H is used as a DD RAM address to execute Cursor Home instruction.

I/D: Increments (I/D = 1) or decrements (I/D = 0) the DD RAM address by one block when writing or reading a character code from DD RAM or CG RAM. The cursor automatically moves to the right when incremented by one or to the left if decremented by one.

S: Shifts the entire display to either the right or left when S = 1 (high). When S = 1 and I/D = 1 the display shifts one position to the left. When S = 1 and 1/D = 0 the display shifts one position to the right. This right or left shift occurs after each data write to DD RAM. Display is not shifted when reading from DD RAM. Display is not shifted when S = 0.

When B = 0 the cursor does not blink. The blink is done by stiching between the all black dot matrix and displayed character at 0.4 seconds intervals. The cursor and the blink can be set at the same time (fosc = 250 kHz).

Cursor/Display Shift moves the cursor or shifts the display without changing the DD RAM contents. The cursor position and the AC contents match. This instruction is available for display correction and retrieval because the cursor position or display can be shifted without writing or reading display data. In case of a 2-line display, the

cursor is shifted from character block 40 of line 1 to character block 1 of line 2. Displays of lines 1 and 2 are shifted at the same time. In case of a 4-line display, the cursor does not move continuously from line 2 to line 3. The cursor is shifted from character block 40 of line 3 to character block 1 of line 4. Displays of lines 3 and 4 are shifted at the same time. The display pattern of line 2 or 4 is not shifted to line 1 or 3.

NOTES:

In CG RAM data, 1 corresponds to Selection and 0 to Non-selection on the display. Character code bits 0 to 2 and CG RAM address bits 3 to 5 correspond with each other (three bits, eight types). CG RAM address bits 0 to 2 specify a line position for a character pattern. Line 8 of a character pattern is the cursor position where the logical sum of the cursor and CG RAM data is displayed. Set the data of line 8 to 0 to display the cursor. If the data is charged to 1, one bit lights, regardless of the cursor. The character pattern column position corresponds to CG RAM data bits 0 to 4 and bit 4 comes to the left end. CG RAM data bits 5 to 7 are not displayed but can be used as general data RAM. When reading a character pattern from CG RAM, set to 0 all of character code bits 4 to 7. Bits 0 to 2 determine which pattern will be read out. Since bit 3 is not valid, 00H and 08H select the same character.

O PERATING I NSTRUCTIONS
PROGRAMMING
THE

CHARACTER GENERATOR RAM (CG RAM)
If during initialization the display was programmed to automatically increment, then only the single initial address, 40, need be sent. Consecutive row data will automatically appear at 41, 42, etc. until the completed character is formed. All eight custom CG characters can be programmed in 64 consecutive "writes" after sending the single initial 40 address. The CG RAM is 8 bits wide, although only the right-most 5-bits are used for a custom CG character row. The left-most dot of programming the CG RAM character corresponds to D4 in the most significant nibble (XXXD4) of the data bus code, with the remaining 4 dots in the row corresponding to the least significant nibble (D3 thru D0), D0 being the rightmost dot. Thus, hex 1F equals all dots on and hex 00 equals all dots off. Examples include hex 15 (10101) equal to 3 dots on the hex 0A (01010) equal 2 dots on. In each case the key 5-bits of the 8-bit code program one row of a custom CG character. When all 7 or 8 rows are programmed, the character is complete. A graphic example is shown below:

The character generator RAM (CG RAM) allows the user to create up to eight custom 5 x 7 characters + cursor (5 x 8). Once programmed, the custom characters or symbols are accessed exactly as if they were in ROM. However since the RAM is a volatile memory, power must be continually maintained. Otherwise, the custom characters/symbols must be programmed into non-volatile external ROM and sent to the display after each display initialization. All dots in the 5 x 8 dot matrix can be programmed, which includes the cursor position. The modules RAM are divided into two parts: data display RAM (DD RAM) and custom character generator RAM (CG RAM). This is not to be confused programming the custom character generator RAM with the 192 character generator ROM. The CG RAM is located between hex 40 and 7F and is contiguous. Locations 40 thru 47 hold the first custom character (5 x 8), 48 thru 4F hold the second custom character, 50 thru 57 hold the third CG, and so forth to 78 thru 7F for the eighth CG character/symbol.

mode. All the initialization sequences are performed under the condition of Register Select (RS) = 0 (low) and Read/Write (R/W) = 0 (low). The 4-bit data bus microcontroller may operate the display module by sending the initialization sequence in 4-bit format. Since 4-bit operation requires the data to be sent twice over the higher 4-bit bus lines (D4-D7), memory requirements are doubled.

INITIALIZATION

Each time the module is turned on or reset, an initialization procedure must be executed. The procedure consists of sending a sequence of hex codes from the microprocessor or parallel I/O port. The initialization sequence turns on the cursor, clears the display, and sets the module onto an auto-increment mode. The initial hex code 30, 34, or 38 is sent two or more times to ensure the module enters the 8-bit or 4-bit data

INTERFACE PROBLEMS

AND

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Allow 1.6mS, after entering hexadecimal 01 or 02 at the end of the initialization sequence, then enter data. Time interval between other data entries should be 50uS or greater. Failure to properly initialize the display: Check initialization examples for either 4 or 8-bit. Make sure to enter first hexadecimal entry at least twice in the initialization sequence. This sets the LCD to either a 1 or 2 line display. LCD input assumed to be configured as an IC. (This is not correct.) Check the time interval on the falling edge of the enable pulse. Should not exceed 20nS (typical is 10nS). Enable pulse width is shorter than 230nS. More than one external bus being selected: Check data bus connection. Signal levels are too low: Insure that V(IH & OH) is more than 2.4 volts. All data bus components do not have TTL type outputs. VDD and VSS pins are reversed. Too much voltage on VDD - (Max. 7VDC). Load being put on data lines, when power is OFF on the VDD pin. Check address locations for the first position on the second line for each 2 lines (ref: Address Location Chart). L4044 has two controllers: E1 for lines 1 & 2 and E2 for lines 3 & 4. Initialization must be done for E1 and the same for E2.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION(S)

1) 2)

Check +5 VDC and ground lines and connections. A variable resistor or fixed resistor must be used on the VLC pin for all LCD modules. VLC voltage range is: 0~.7 volts (ref: Contrast Adjustment Circuit). Data is being transmitted too fast: Wait 4.5 mS after Power ON, or until VDD reaches 4.5 volts. Wait more than 15 mS after VDD reaches 4.5 volts.
