Interfacing to a 4-bit MPU
The HD44780U can be connected to the I/O port of a 4-bit MPU. If the I/O port has enough bits, 8-bit
data can be transferred. Otherwise, one data transfer must be made in two operations for 4-bit data. In
this case, the timing sequence becomes somewhat complex. (See Figure 17.)
See Figure 18 for an interface example to the HMCS4019R.
Note that two cycles are needed for the busy flag check as well as for the data transfer. The 4-bit
operation is selected by the program.

Note: IR7 , IR3 are the 7th and 3rd bits of the instruction.
AC3 is the 3rd bit of the address counter.
