Description
The V6123 is a low multiplex LCD driver. The 2, 4 and 8
way multiplex is digitally programmable by the command
byte. The display refresh is handled on chip by an internal
RC oscillator via 1 selectable 8 x 60 RAM which holds the
LCD content driven by the driver. LCD pixels (or seg-
ments) are addressed on a one to one basis with the 8 x
60 bit RAM (a set bit corresponds to an activated LCD
pixel).
The V6123 has a very low dynamic current consumption,
typically 175 碌A(chǔ) at V
DD
= 5 V, V
LCD
= 7 V, making it particu-
larly attractive for portable and battery powered products.
The wide operating range on supply voltages and tem -
perature offers much application flexibility. The LCD bias
generation and frame frequency are generated on chip.
The clock signal can be used to shift and to latch the data
into the RAM.
