CONTRAST CONTROL

The LCD contrast control circuit consists of a

seven-tap resistor ladder, controlled by the LCDCST

bits. Refer to Figure 21-6.

The contrast control circuit is used to decrease the

output voltage of the signal source by a total of

approximately 10%, when LCDCST = 111.

Whenever the LCD module is inactive (LCDA = 0), the

contrast control ladder will be turned off (open).

INTERNAL REFERENCE

Under firmware control, an internal reference for the

LCD bias voltages can be enabled. When enabled, the

source of this voltage can be either VDDIO or a voltage

3 times the main fixed voltage reference (3.072V).

When no internal reference is selected, the LCD con-

trast control circuit is disabled and LCD bias must be

provided externally.

Whenever the LCD module is inactive (LCDA = 0), the

internal reference will be turned off.

When the internal reference is enabled and the Fixed

Voltage Reference is selected, the LCDIRI bit can be

used to minimize power consumption by tieing into the

LCD reference ladder automatic power mode switch-

ing. When LCDIRI = 1, the power mode that the inter-

nal LCD reference ladder enables the buffer when in

power mode ‘A’ and disables it when in power mode ‘B’.

21.4.6

VLCD<3:1> PINS

The VLCD<3:1> pins provide the ability for an external

LCD bias network to be used instead of the internal lad-

der. Use of the VLCD<3:1> pins does not prevent use

of the internal ladder. Each VLCD pin has an indepen-

dent control in the LCDREF register (Register 21-3),

allowing access to any or all of the LCD Bias signals.

This architecture allows for maximum flexibility in differ-

ent applications

For example, the VLCD<3:1> pins may be used to add

capacitors to the internal reference ladder, increasing

the drive capacity.

For applications where the internal contrast control is

insufficient, the firmware can choose to only enable the

VLCD3 pin, allowing an external contrast control circuit

to use the internal reference divider.
