MIC8030
High-Voltage Display Driver
General Description
The MIC8030 is a CMOS high voltage liquid crystal display
driver. Up to 38 segments can be driven from four CMOS level
inputs (CLOCK, DATA IN, LOAD and CHIP SELECT). The
MIC8030 is rated at 50V. Data is loaded serially into a shift
register, and transferred to latches which hold the data until
new data is received.
The backplane can be driven from external source, or the
internal oscillator can be used. If the internal oscillator is
used, the frequency of the backplane will be determined by an
external resistor and capacitor. The oscillator need not be
used if a DC output is desired.
Features
• High Voltage Outputs capable of a driving up to 100 volt
outputs from 5 to 15 volt logic
• Drives 30, 32, or 38 segments
• Cascadable
• On chip Oscillator or External Backplane Input
• CMOS construction for wide supply range and low
power consumption
• Schmitt Triggers on all inputs
• CMOS, PMOS, and NMOS compatible

Functional Description
With CHIP SELECT tied low, serial data is clocked into the
shift register at each falling edge of the CLOCK input. Pulling
LOAD high will cause a parallel loading of the shift register
contents into the latches. If load is left high, the latches are
transparent.
A logic “1” clocked into the shift register corresponds to that
segment being on, and that segment is out of phase with the
backplane.
The backplane may be externally driven or the internal
oscillator can be used. If LCDφ is externally driven, the
backplane will be in phase with the input; LCDφ OPT is not
connected. The internal oscillator is used by shorting LCDφ
OPT to LCDφ, connecting a capacitor to ground, and a
resistor to V
CC
. The frequency of the backplane will be 1/256
of the input frequency, and is given as: f = 10/[R(C + .0002)]
at V
DD
= 5V, R in kΩ, C in
µF.
Example: R = 150 kΩ, C = 420 pF: f = 108 Hz
For displays with more than 38 segments, two or more
MIC8030 may be cascaded by connecting DATA OUT of the
previous stage with DATA IN of the next stage; CLOCK,
LOAD and CHIP SELECT of all following stages should be
tied to the control lines of the first MIC8030. The backplane
output of the first stage should be tied to LCDφ of all following
stages, the LCDφ OPT must be left unconnected on those
stages. If the internal oscillator is used, and V
BB
> 50V then
an external 330 kΩ resistor must be used between the
BACKPLANE of the first stage and LCDφ of all following
stages.
Packaging options available include DATA OUT 30, 32 or 38
with the corresponding number of segments, and the avail-
ability of LCDφ OPT. Types of packages include plastic and
ceramic DIPs, surface mount packages, plastic and ceramic
Leadless Chip Carriers and custom packaging.
