PCA85232
LCD driver for low multiplex rates
Rev. 1 — 8 December 2010
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA85232 is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD)¹ with low multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or
multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 160 segments. It can be
easily cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCA85232 is compatible with most
microprocessors or microcontrollers and communicates via a two-line bidirectional
I²C-bus. Communication overheads are minimized by a display RAM with
auto-incremented addressing, by hardware subaddressing, and by display memory
switching (static and duplex drive modes).
AEC-Q100 compliant for automotive applications.
