LCD_A Controller Operation
19-6 LCD_A Controller
To source the bias voltages V2 − V4 externally, REXT is set. This also disables
the internal bias generation. Typically an equally weighted resistor divider is
used with resistors ranging from 100 k
W
to 1 M
W.
When using an external
resistor divider, the V
LCD
voltage may be sourced from the internal charge
pump when VLCDEXT = 0. V5 can also be sourced externally when R03EXT
is set.
When using an external resistor divider R33 may serve as a switched-V
LCD
output when VLCDEXT = 0. This allows the power to the resistor ladder to be
turned off eliminating current consumption when the LCD is not used. When
VLCDEXT = 1, R33 serves as a V
LCD
input.
