III. System structure and memory mapping
CXLC8963D internally integrates 14 × 4-bit static display RAM, and the data is directly mapped to the LCD driver output. The RAM address is output from 0 to 13 corresponding to SEG9 to SEG22 segments. You can write the displayed data to the corresponding address by writing the command.
The system clock is provided by on-chip RC oscillator or external crystal oscillator, and supports power consumption management through commands (such as SYS DIS and SYS EN) Start Stop system oscillator and LCD bias generator. After power-on, the chip is in SYS DIS and LCD OFF by default. The configuration must be initialized by main controller.
3.1. System structure
3.1.1 display memory (RAM)

3.1.2 system oscillator
CXLC8963D system clock is used to generate LCD drive clock. The on-chip RC oscillator (256kHz) generates a clock source. Execute
SYS DIS command can stop the system clock and LCD bias generator, SYS DIS command is only applicable to on-chip RC oscillator,
When the system clock stops working, the LCD will be blank. The LCD OFF command is used to turn OFF the LCD bias generator when the LCD is biased.
After the voltage generator is turned off, you can use the SYS DIS command to reduce the system power consumption. At this time, SYS DIS is the power saving command. When the system starts to power on,
CXLC8963D is in the SYS DIS state.
3.1.3 LCD driver
CXLC8963D is a 56(14x 4) point LCD driver, which can be configured by software to 1/2 or 1/3 LCD driver bias
Pressure and 2, 3 or 4 public ports make CXLC8963D suitable for a variety of LCD applications. LCD drive clock by system
Clock frequency division is generated, and the frequency value of LCD drive clock is kept at 256Hz. For more information about LCD driver commands, see the following table.

Bold 100 is "100", indicating the command mode type. If a continuous command is executed, except for the first command, other commands
The mode type code of the command is ignored. LCD OFF command disables LCD bias generator, thus turning OFF LCD display; LCD
The ON command enables the LCD bias generator to turn ON the LCD display. BIAS & COM is an LCD module command, yes
Make CXLC8963D compatible with most LCD modules.
3.1.4Command format
CXLC8963D can be set by software. Commands in both modes can be configured to CXLC8963D and transmit the data displayed by the LCD.
The configuration mode of CXLC8963D is called command mode, and the type code is 100. The command mode includes a system configuration command and a system configuration command.
Frequency selection command, an LCD configuration command and an operation command. The following table lists the data and command mode types.

Mode commands should be run before data or commands are transferred. If continuous commands are executed, the command mode code is 100, which will be ignored.
Slightly. When the system is in discontinuous command mode or discontinuous address data mode, pin/CS should be set to "1" and the previous
The operation mode is reset. When pin/CS returns "0", the new operation mode type code should be run first.
3.1.5 interface
CXLC8963D only three pins are used for interfaces. Pin/CS is used to initialize the serial interface circuit and end main controller and
Communication between CXLC8963D. When pin/CS is set to 1, the data and commands between main controller and CXLC8963D are invalid.
And initialize. Before generating command mode or mode conversion, the serial connection of CXLC8963D must be initialized with a high-level pulse.
Mouth. PIN DATA is a serial DATA input/output pin. Read/write DATA and write commands are performed through PIN DATA. Pin/WR
It is the write clock input pin. When the/WR signal rises, the DATA, address, and command on the PIN DATA are written to CXLC8963D.
