1. Overview The RA8835 is a controller IC that can display text and graphics on LCD panel. It can display layered text and graphics, scroll the display in any direction and partition the display into multiple screens. It also stores text, character codes and bitmapped graphics data in external frame buffer memory. Display controller functions include transferring data from the controlling microprocessor to the buffer memory, reading memory data, converting data to display pixels and generating timing signals for the buffer memory, LCD panel. The RA8835 has an internal character generator...

VD4 VD5 VD6 VD7 YSCL YD YDIS WF LP GND XSCL SECL XD0 XD1 XD2 5. Pin Descriptions 5-1 Pin Functions 5-1-1 MCU Interface Pin Name D0 to D7 Function MCU Data Bus. Tristate input/output pins. Connect these pins to an 8- or 16-bit microprocessor bus. MCU Interface Select. The RA8835 series supports both 8080 family processors (such as the 8085 and Z80®) and 6800 family processors (such as the 6802 and 6809). SEL1 SEL1 should be tied directly to VDD or VSS to prevent noise. If noise does appear on SEL1, decouple it to ground using a capacitor placed as close to the pin as possible. Read Control...

Write Control or Read/Write Control. When the 8080 family interface is selected, this signal acts as the active-LOW write strobe. The bus data is latched on the rising edge of this signal. When the 6800 family interface is selected, this signal acts as the read/write control signal. Data is read from the RA8835 series if this signal is HIGH, and written to the RA8835 series if it is LOW. Chip Select. This active-LOW input enables the RA8835 series. It is usually connected to the output of an address decoder device that maps the RA8835 series into the memory space of the controlling...

5-1-3 LCD Drive Signals In order to provide effective low-power drive for LCD matrixes, the RA8835 series can directly control both the X- and Y-drivers using an enable chain. Function Data Output for Driver. 4-bit X-driver (column drive) data outputs. Connect these outputs to the inputs of the X-driver chips. Latch Clock. The falling edge of XSCL latches the data on XD0 to XD3 into the input shift registers of the X-drivers. To conserve power, this clock halts between LP and the start of the following display line (See section 6-3-7). Trigger Clock for Chain Cascade. The falling edge of...

6-2 System Control Commands 6-2-1 SYSTEM SET Initializes the device, sets the window sizes, and selects the LCD interface format. Since this command sets the basic operating parameters of the RA8835 series, an incorrect SYSTEM SET command may cause other commands to operate incorrectly. MSB Figure 6-1: SYSTEM SET Instruction 6-2-1-1 C This control byte performs the following: 1. Resets the internal timing generator 2. Disables the display 3. Cancels sleep mode Parameters following P1 are not needed if only canceling sleep mode. 6-2-1-2 M0 Select the internal or external character generator...

The CG RAM1 and CG RAM2 address spaces are not contiguous, the CG RAM1 address space is treated as character generator RAM, and the CG RAM2 address space is treated as character generator ROM. M1 = 1: D6 correction. The CG RAM1 and CG RAM2 address spaces are contiguous and are both treated as character generator RAM. 6-2-1-4 M2 Select the height of the character bitmaps.
