Function Description
1.function circuit
The BL550024 has all function circuits that can directly drive any static or multiplexed LCD
containing up to four commons and up to 15 segments. The function circuits include:Power-on
reset, LCD bias generator, LCD voltage selector, Oscillator, display RAM, Timing, Display latch,
Shift register, Common/segment outputs, input/output bank selector, Blinker, Data pointer, etc.
2.display function decription
The display RAM is a static 15x 4-bit RAM which stores LCD data. A logic 1 in the
RAM bit-map indicates the on state of the corresponding LCD segment; similarly, a logic 0
indicates the off state. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the RAM addresses and
the segment outputs, and between the individual bits of a RAM word and the common
outputs. (see Fig.2).

When display data is transmitted to the BL55024, the display bytes received are stored
in the display RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive mode. To illustrate the filling
order, an example of a 7-segment numeric display showing all drive modes is given in Fig.3;
the RAM filling organization depicted applies equally to other LCD types.

3. I C-bus protocol
I
2
C-bus slave addresses (0111110) are reserved for the BL55024
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Fig.4. The sequence is initiated with a START
condition (S) from the I2C-bus master which is followed by the BL55024 slave addresses
available. After acknowledgement, one or more command bytes (m) follow which define the
status of the addressed BL55024. The last command byte is tagged with a cleared most
significant bit, the continuation bit C. The command bytes are also acknowledged by the
addressed BL55024 on the bus. After the last command byte, a series of display data bytes(n)
may follow. These display bytes are stored in the display RAM at the address specified by the
data pointer. Data pointer are automatically updated and the data is directed to the intended
BL55024 device. After the last display byte, the I2C-bus master issues a STOP condition (P).

4. command decoder
The command decoder identifies command bytes that arrive on the I
2
C-bus. All
available commands carry a continuation bit C in their most significant bit position. The four
commands available to the BL55024 are defined in Fig 5.

Typical Application Circuit
No
te:
1/ when I
2
C are idle mode,SDA and SCL must be connect to high level(by pull up
resistor),otherwise the device maybe can not go into power saving mode.
2/
3/
In power-saving mode, SCL frequency must be less than 21KHz.
Work at
1/3 bias, Vdd – Vlcd must be more than 2.9V。
