PCF8534A
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
Rev. 03 — 10 November 2008
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCF8534A is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any LCD with low
multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or multiplexed LCD containing
up to four backplanes and up to 60 segments. In addition, the PCF8534A can be easily
cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCF8534A is compatible with most
microprocessors or microcontrollers and communicates via a two-line bidirectional
I²C-bus. Communication overheads are minimized using display RAM with
auto-incremented addressing, hardware subaddressing and display memory switching
(static and duplex drive modes).
The PCF8534A complies with AEC-Q100 (automotive).
