12. Controller data


12.1 Function description
The LCD display Module is built in a LSI controller, the controller has two 8-bit registers, an instruction
register (IR) and a data register (DR).
The IR stores instruction codes, such as display clear and cursor shift, and address information for display
data RAM (DDRAM) and character generator (CGRAM). The IR can only be written from the MPU.
The DR temporarily stores data to be written or read from DDRAM or CGRAM. When address
information is written into the IR, then data is stored into the DR from DDRAM or CGRAM. By the
register selector (RS) signal, these two registers can be selected.
RS

R/W

IR write as an internal operation (display clear, etc.)

Read busy flag (DB7) and address counter (DB0 to DB7)

Write data to DDRAM or CGRAM (DR to DDRAM or CGRAM)

1
1
Busy Flag (BF)

Operation

Read data from DDRAM or CGRAM (DDRAM or CGRAM to DR)

When the busy flag is 1, the controller LSI is in the internal operation mode and the next instruction will
not be accepted. When RS=0 and R/W=1, the busy flag is output to DB7.
The next instruction must
be written after ensuring that the busy flag is 0.
Address Counter (AC)
The address counter (AC) assigns addresses to both DDRAM and CGRAM
Display Data RAM (DDRAM)
This DDRAM is used to store the display data represented in 8-bit character codes. Its extended
capacity is 808 bits or 80 characters. Below figure is the relationship between DDRAM addresses and
positions on the liquid crystal display.

Character Generator ROM (CGROM)
The CGROM generate 58 dot or 510 dot character patterns from 8-bit character codes. See Table 2.

12.2 Character Generator RAM (CGRAM)


In CGRAM, the user can rewrite character by program. For 58 dots, eight character patterns can be
written, and for 5
10 dots, four character patterns can be written.
Write into DDRAM the character code at the addresses shown as the left column of table 1. To show the
character patterns stored in CGRAM.
