4.7.6 LCD contrast adjustment

In the S1C63558, the LCD contrast can be adjusted by the software.
It is realized by controlling the voltages V

C1

, V

C23

, V

C4

and V

C5

output from the LCD system voltage

circuit. When these voltages are supplied to the externally expanded LCD driver, the expanded LCD
contrast is adjusted at the same time.
The contrast can be adjusted to 16 levels as shown in Table 4.7.6.1.

Setting the LC3–LC0 register affects the V

C23

voltage, and other voltages change according to the V

C23

. As

a result, the LCD contrast is adjusted.
The supply voltage V

DD

within the range from 2.2 to 2.5 V affects the V

C23

voltage. Ordinarily, V

C23

is 2.4

V (when V

DD

= 2.5 to 5.5 V) in the highest-contrast setting (No. 15 in Table 4.7.6.1), note, however, that

V

C23

will be V

DD

- 0.1 V when V

DD

= 2.2 to 2.5 V.

At room temperature, use setting number 7 or 8 as standard.
Since the contents of LC0–LC3 are undefined at initial reset, initialize it by the software.
