1.0 Overview
1.1 Description
The SED1520 is a dot matrix LCD driver LSI intended
for display of characters and graphics. It generates
LCD driving signals based on bit image display data
supplied from an 8-bit or 16-bit microcomputer and
stored in the on-chip display data RAM.
The SED1520 incorporates innovative circuit design
strategies to assure very low current dissipation and
a wide range of operating voltages. With these features,
the SED1520 permits the user to implement
high-performance handy systems operating from a
miniature battery.
In order for the user to adaptively configure his system,
the SED1520 family offers two application
forms. One form allows an LCD display of 12 characters
´ 2 lines with an indicator with a single chip. The
other is dedicated to driving a total of 80 segments,
enabling a medium-size display to be achieved by
using a minimum number of drivers.
