PCF8579 是低功耗CMOS LCD点阵驱动器,能以1:8,1:16,1:24或1:36多路复用速率驱动点阵图像显示器.
PCF8579有40个输出,可级联32个器件,驱动多达40960个点阵的显示器.逻辑电压范围从2.5V到6V,LCD最大电源为9V,I2C总线接口.
PCF8579主要应用在汽车信号系统,通信系统,POS终端,工业计算终端和仪器仪表.本文介绍了PCF8579的主要特性,方框图, 不同多路复用速率的LED驱动器系统以及1:32多路复用速率的单屏配线案例.
The PCF8579 is a low
power CMOS1 LCD column driver, designed to drive dot matrix
graphic displays at multiplex rates of 1:8, 1:16, 1:24 or 1:32. The device has 40 outputs and can drive 32.40 dots in a 32 row multiplexed LCD. Up to 16 PCF8579s can be cascaded and up to 32
devices may be used on the same I2C-bus (using the two slave addresses). The device is optimized for use
with the PCF8578 LCD row/column driver.
Together these
devices form a general purpose LCD dot matrix driver
chip set, capable of driving displays of up to 40960 dots. The PCF8579 is compatible
with most microcontrollers and communicates via a two-line bidirectional bus (I2C-bus). To allow partial VDD shutdown the ESD protection system of the SCL and SDA
pins does not use a diode connected to VDD. Communication overhead is minimized by a display RAM
with auto-incremented addressing and display bank switching.
