DOT MATRIX LCD CONTROLLER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MSM9000B-xx is a dot-matrix LCD control driver which has functions of displaying 12 (5
x 7 dots) characters (2 lines) and 120-dot arbitrators.
The MSM9000B-xx is provided with a 16-dot common driver, 60-dot segment driver, Display
Data RAM (DDRAM), and Character Generator ROM (CGROM).
This device can be controlled with commands entered through the serial interface or parallel
interface.
The font data in the CGROM can be changed by mask option.
Since the MSM9000B-xx has an LCD driving bias generator circuit, LCD bias voltages can be
obtained by merely providing a required capacitance externally.
The MSM9000B-xx is applicable to a variety of LCD panels by controlling the contrast.
FEATURES
• Logic voltage(V

this range.
Note 1: Ensure the chip is not exposed to any light.
Note 2: The bias voltage may exceed 5.5 V at some contrast stages. Adjust the stage with
software so that the bias voltage does not exceed 5.5 V.
