GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ST7038 dot-matrix liquid crystal display controller can
display alphanumeric, Japanese kana characters and
symbols. It can be configured to drive a dot-matrix liquid
crystal display under the control of a microprocessor with
4/8-bit 6800-series or 8080-series, 3/4-line serial or fast I²C
interface. Since all the functions (such as display RAM,
character generator ROM/RAM and liquid crystal driver)
required for driving a dot-matrix liquid crystal display are
internally embedded in this chip, a minimal system can be
used with this controller/driver.
The Character Generator ROM of ST7038 has 256 5x8dot
cells and stores 256 different character fonts (5x8dot).
ST7038 is suitable for low voltage supply (1.8V to 3.3V) and
is perfectly suitable for any portable product which is driven
by the battery and requires low power consumption.
The display resolution of ST7038 dot-matrix LCD driver can
be either 1-line x 20 characters, 2-line x 20 characters or
3-line x 16 characters with 80-bit ICON.
ST7038 works alone without extra cascaded drivers.
