320-CHANNEL LOW-VOLTAGE SEGMENT
DRIVER FOR DOT-MATRIX STN LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPLC563A is a 320-channel segment driver for driving a
dot-matrix STN liquid-crystal panel at a low voltage.
The driver
can also correspond to 240-channel output by switching mode. It
operates at a low voltage: a liquid-crystal drive voltage of 5.0V and
a logic drive voltage of 3.0V, and is used together with common
driver SPLC564A.
can be applied to various liquid crystal panels.
2. FEATURES
Display duty: Up to 1/240
Liquid crystal drive voltage: 2.6V to 5.5V
Number of liquid crystal drive circuits: 320 circuits
Operating voltage: 2.5V to 5.5V
Number of data bits: 4 or 8 bits
