SPLC100A1
40-CHANNEL SEG/COM LCD DRIVER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPLC100A1 is a Liquid Crystal Display driver that contains two sets of 20-bit bi-directional shift registers, 20
data latch flip-flops and 20 Liquid Crystal Display drivers. It also features 40-channel outputs that can be applied
as common or segment driver.
The SPLC100A1 receives serial display data from a display control LSI,
converts it into parallel data and supplies liquid crystal display waveforms to the liquid crystal.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
SEGMENT DRIVER
When SPLC100A1 is used as a segment driver, FCS is connected to VSS. In this case, both channel 1 and
channel 2 shift data at the falling edge of CL2 and latch it at the falling edge of CL1. V3 and V5, V4 and V6 of
the liquid crystal display driver power supply are short-circuited, respectively.

COMMON DRIVER
In this case, channel 1 is used as a segment driver and channel 2 as common driver. When channel 2 of
SPLC100A1 is used as common driver, FCS is connected to VDD. In this case, channel 2 shifts data at the
rising edge of CL1 and latches it at the rising edge of CL2.
