Two Layers Character/Graphical LCD Controller 1. General Description The RA8803/RA8822 is a Dot-Matrix LCD controller which support both text and graphics mode. It built-in two Display RAM for two layers display, and an embedded 512Kbyte character ROM that consists of Chinese, English and ASCII fonts. In text mode, the RA8803/8822 support Chinese BIG5 code or GB code. The system (MPU) does not need take a lot of time to show the Chinese font in graphics mode. The RA8803/8822 support 8080/6800 like MPU interface, and also provide 4-Bit or 8-Bit data bus. For LCD driver interface, it support the...

Two Layers Character/Graphical LCD Controller 3. Block Diagram Figure 3-1 is the internal block diagram of RA8803. The RA8803 consists of Display RAM, 512Kbyte Font ROM, Command Registers, Analog to Digital Converter(ADC), Digital to Analog Converter(DAC), Display Timing Generator(DTG) and Microprocessor interface. Figure 3-2 is the internal block diagram of RA8822. The major different of RA8803 and RA8822 is the Display RAM size. The RA8803 built-in two 9.6Kbyte display RAM, and RA8822 built-in two 4.8Kbyte.

Pin Definition 4.1 MPU Interface Pin Name These are data bus for data transfer between MPU and RA8803/8822. The high nibble DB[7..4] should be floating when 4-bit data bus mode is used. Enable/Read Enable When MPU I/F is 8080 series, this pin (RD#) is used as data read, active low. When MPU I/F is 6800 series, this pin (EN) is used as Enable, active high. Write/Read-Write When MPU I/F is 8080 series, this...

Two Layers Character/Graphical LCD Controller control. Active high for read and active low for write. Register/Memory Select RS The MPU will access Register when RS is Low and access Data Memory when RS is High. Usually connect to MPU address bus A0. Chip Select The RA8803/8822 is active when CS1# is low and CS2 is high Interrupt Signal This is an interrupt output to indicate the status of RA8803/88822. It could be setup active high or low. Busy Signal This is a busy output to indicate the RA8803/88822 is in busy state. It could be setup active high or low. If setup active high, the RA8803/8822...

Two Layers Character/Graphical LCD Controller X’tal Input XA In internal clock mode, this pin connects to external X’tal(32768Hz). In external clock mode, this is an input of external clock. X’tal Output This pin connects to external X’tal(32768Hz). 4.4 Peripheral Interface Pin Name Description Reset Signal This is a reset signal used to reset RA8803/8822. Active low. Touch Panel Input This is connecting to the left pin of 4-wire touch panel. Touch Panel Input This is connecting to the right pin of 4-wire touch panel. Touch Panel Input This is connecting to the top pin of 4-wire touch panel....

Two Layers Character/Graphical LCD Controller Pull High(1) : 8-Bit When SYS_DW is Pull Low, then the LCD driver data bus Is 4-Bit. When SYS_DW is Pull High, then the LCD driver data bus is 8-Bit. MPU Type Select This pin is used to select MPU type: Pull Low(0) : I8080 Series Pull High(1) : M6800 Series When SYS_MI is Pull Low, then the MPU Interface of RA8803/8822 is suppported I8080. When SYS_MI is Pull High, then the MPU Interface of RA8803/8822 is supported M6800. 8080 MPU Data Bus Select This pin is used to select data bus of 8080 MPU is 4-Bitor 8-Bit: Pull Low(0) : 4-Bit Pull High(1) : 8-Bit...
