Overview
The MN55720 is a high-quality character generator IC that rapidly generates multilevel grayscale data from outline
(path) data for characters and similar images. This IC includes input and output FIFO memory units to assure high-
speed processing, and provides a local interface (16 or 32 bits) to allow the use of this IC in a wide range of equipment.

2. Using the regulator
The MN55720 includes a built-in 2.5 V output regulator, which allows this device to function as a single 3.3 V power
supply IC. However, since the voltage drop in the regulator is 0.8 V, the power consumption in just the regulator will
be 80 mW when the IC draws 100 mA.
If a 2.5 V level is provided externally and the regulator is not used, provide a 3.3 V level to VDDREG as shown in
the figure below.
Note that the 2.5 V regulator output cannot be used to supply other devices.

1. Power on and off sequences
Do not apply power to one of the VDD2 and VDD3 supplies without applying power to the other at the same time.
Failing to observe this may cause the problems listed below. The internal logic power supply VDD2 and the external
I/O power supply VDD3 should be applied and cut as close to simultaneously as possible.
•
Degradation of I/O block devices
•
Inability to establish the states of the output and bidirectional pins even by setting NRST low.
