The ST7036 is a low power, high performance, multifunction dot matrix liquid crystal display controller/driver LSI that displays alphanumeric, Japanese kana characters, and symbols. It can be configured to drive a dot matrix liquid crystal display under the control of a 4-/8-bit, serial or fast I2C interface microprocessor. Since all the functions such as display RAM, character generator, and liquid crystal display controller are contained in the LSI, no external components are required, which reduces the external component cost and system size. The ST7036 also has many other features that make it an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications.
The Sitronix ST7036 is a dot-matrix liquid crystal display controller and driver LSI designed for alphanumeric, Japanese kana, and symbol display. It integrates display RAM, a character generator, and liquid crystal driver functions into a single chip, allowing for a minimal system interface with microprocessors via 4-bit, 8-bit, serial, or fast C-bus interfaces.
The device supports low power operation with a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and a driver power range of 2.7V to 7.0V. It features an internal oscillator at 540kHz, a built-in voltage booster and follower circuit, and supports various display modes including 16-com x 100-seg and 80-icon configurations. The ST7036 is available in COG type and is compatible with instruction sets from ST7066U, KSOO66U, and HD44780.
