LCD PIC Interfacing:

Interfacing between PIC and LCD can be 4-bit or 8-bit. The difference
between 4-bit and 8-bit is how data are send to the LCD. In the 8-bit mode to
write an 8-bit character to the LCD module, ASCII data is send through
the data lines DB0- DB7 and data strobe is given through the E line.
But 4-bit mode uses only 4 data lines. In this mode the 8-bit ASCII data is
divided into 2 parts which are send sequentially through data lines DB4
DB7 with its own data strobe through the E line. The idea of 4-bit
communication is to save as much pins that used to interface with LCD. The
4-bit communication is a bit slower when compared to 8-bit. The speed
difference is only minimal, as LCDs are slow speed devices the tiny speed

difference between these two modes is not significant. Thus the 4-bit mode
data transmission is most commonly used.

INTERFACING DS1307 TO PIC MICROCONTROLLER:

DS1307 is a low power serial real time clock with full binary coded decimal
(BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM (Non Volatile Static Random
Access Memory). Data and Address are transferred serially through
a bidirectional I2C bus. The RTC provides year, month, date, hour, minute
and second information. The end date of months is automatically adjusted
for months fewer than 31 days including leap year compensation up to year
2100. It can operate either in 24-hour format or 12-hour format with AM/PM
indicator. DS1307 comes with built-in power sensing circuit which senses
power failures and automatically switches to back up supply. The DS1307
RTC uses an external 32.768kHz Crystal Oscillator and it does not require any
external resistors or capacitors to operate.
