2. BLOCK FUNCTION
(1) Address management circuit
Converts an address transferred from the system via A
0
to A
16
to an address that corresponds to the on-
chip RAM memory map.
This function enables address management for a display size of up to 480 x 320 dots using four
µ
PD16663
LSIs, thus facilitating the configuration of LCD systems.
The allocation of addresses 1FFF80H to 1FFFEH (even addresses only) to the gray scale palette register
also allows the user to select any 16 gray scales from a palette of 49.
(2) Arbiter
Resolves a conflict between a RAM access from the system and a RAM read on the LCD drive side.
(3) RAM
240 x 160 x 4 bits of static RAM (single port).
(4) Data bus control
Controls the direction in which data is transferred according to whether the system is reading or writing.
The bus width can also be switched between 8 and 16 bits with the BMODE pin.
(5) Gray scale generation circuit
Culls frames and modulates the pulse width to realize 49 gray scales.
(6) Internal timing generator
Generates the internal timing for each block from the /FRM and STB signals.
(7) CR oscillator
In master mode, this oscillator generates the clock referenced for the frame frequency. The frame frequency
is determined by dividing this clock by 2592. To obtain a frame frequency of 70 Hz, therefore, an oscillation
frequency of 181.44 kHz is required. Because the CR oscillator is on chip, adjust the oscillation frequency
using an external resistor.
Oscillation is stopped in slave mode.
(8) LCD timing generator
In master mode, this generator generates /FRM (the frame signal), STB (the column driver signal strobe),
and PULSE (the 49-gray-scale pulse modulation clock).
(9) Gray scale control
This is a circuit for realizing a 16-gray-scale display.

(10) Data latch (1)
Latches 240-pixel data read from RAM.
(11) Data latch (2)
Latches 240-pixel data in synchronization with the STB signal.
(12) Level shifter
Converts the internal circuit operating voltage (3.3 V) to the voltage required by the LCD driver and row
driver interface (5 V).
(13) DEC
Decodes the gray scale display data into the corresponding LCD drive voltages V
0
, V
1
, and V
2
.
(14) LCD driver circuit
Creates the voltage to be applied to the LCD by selecting one of LCD drive power supplies V
0
, V
1
, or V
2
,
according to the gray scale data and display off signal (/DOFF).
(15) Self-diagnostic circuit
Automatically detects any mismatch between the operation timings of the master and slave chips cause by
noise, etc., and issues a refresh signal to all the column drivers.
