Voltage Multiplier (3 Times)
The voltage multiplier performs threefold boosting. This circuit in-
puts a reference voltage for boosting from LCD power input pin
VL1. (However, when using a 1/2 bias, connect VL1 and VL2 and
apply voltage by external resistor division.)
The voltage multiplier control bit (bit 4 of the LCD mode register)
controls the voltage multiplier.
When voltage is input to the VL1 pin during operating the voltage
multiplier, voltage that is twice as large as VL1 occurs at the VL2
pin, and voltage that is three times as large as VL1 occurs at the
VL3 pin.
When using the voltage multiplier; after applying 1.3 V
≤ Voltage ≤ 2.3 V
to the VL1 pin, set the voltage multiplier control bit to “1” to select the
voltage multiplier enable.
When not using the voltage multiplier, apply proper voltage to the
LCD power input pins (VL1–VL3).
Bias Control and Applied Voltage to LCD
Power Input Pins
To the LCD power input pins (VL1–VL3), apply the voltage shown
in Table 11 according to the bias value.
Select a bias value by the bias control bit (bit 2 of the LCD mode
register).
Common Pin and Duty Ratio Control
The common pins (COM0–COM3) to be used are determined by
duty ratio.
Select duty ratio by the duty ratio selection bits (bits 0 and 1 of the
LCD mode register).
