4. Interface Pin Connections

4.1 MPU Interface Pin Functions

Pin-outs differ for individual LCD modules with on-board controllers. Please refer to individual module data sheets for pin assignment information.

Pin Name I/O Pin Function
VSS - Ground
VCC - Logic Supply (+5V)
RS I Register Select: "1" = Instruction Register
"0" = Data Register
R/(Not W) I Read/Write: "1" = Read from HD61830(B)
"0" = Write to HD61830(B)
E I Enable (Active High)
DB0 I/O Bi-directional Data Bus Line 0
DB1 I/O Bi-directional Data Bus Line 1
DB2 I/O Bi-directional Data Bus Line 2
DB3 I/O Bi-directional Data Bus Line 3
DB4 I/O Bi-directional Data Bus Line 4
DB5 I/O Bi-directional Data Bus Line 5
DB6 I/O Bi-directional Data Bus Line 6
DB7 I/O Bi-directional Data Bus Line 7
(Not CS) I Chip Select (Active Low)
(Not RST) I Reset (Active Low)

4.2 LCD Interface Pin Functions

For LCD modules with on-board controllers, these signals are not generally accessible. However for the LM1001GC, LM1002GC and LM1006GC graphics controller cards these signals are available; refer to individual data sheets for pin assignments.

Pin Name I/O Pin Function
D1 O Serial Data Line 1
FLM O First Line Marker (Start of Frame)
M O Control Signal for AC drive of LC
CL1 O Latch clock
CL2 O Shift clock for serial data
D2 O Serial Data Line 2
VDD - Power supply for logic circuits
VSS - Ground
VEE - Power supply for LC drivers
VO - Operating voltage for LC drivers (Contrast)
