PCA9620

Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates

In order to fill the whole RAM addresses 60 bytes need to be sent to the PCA9620. After

the last byte sent the data pointer is wrapped around to column 0 to start a possible RAM

content update (see Figure 40). In this case there is no situation possible where a

transmitted data byte can be written over the RAM boundary.

7.9.2 Bank selection

A RAM bank can be thought of as a collection of RAM rows. The PCA9620 includes a

RAM bank switching feature in the static, 1:2, and 1:4 multiplex drive modes.

The RAM bank switching gives the provision for preparing display information in an

alternative bank and to be able to switch to it once it is complete. Input and output banks

can be set independently from one another with the input-bank-select and the

output-bank-select commands; Figure 41 shows the concept.
