1. General description
The PCF8577C is an LCD driver which drives up to 32 segments directly, or 64 segments
in a duplex configuration.
The two-line I
2
C-bus interface substantially reduces wiring overheads in remote display
applications. I
2
C-bus traffic is minimized in multiple IC applications by automatic address
incrementing, hardware subaddressing and display memory switching (direct drive
mode).To allow partial V
DD
shutdown, the ESD protection system of the SCL and SDA
pins does not use a diode connected to V
DD
.
For a selection of NXP LCD segment drivers, see Table 13 on page 25
.
