PCF8577C
LCD direct/duplex driver with I²C-bus interface
Duplex mode output waveforms are shown in Figure 5.
7.7 Display memory mapping
The mapping between the eight segment registers and the segment outputs S1 to S32 is
given in Table 5
and Table 6.
Since only one register bit per segment is needed in the direct drive mode, the BANK bit
allows swapping of display information. If BANK is set to logic 0, even bytes (BANK A) are
displayed; if BANK is set to logic 1 odd bytes (BANK B) are displayed. BP1 is always used
for the backplane output in the direct drive mode. In duplex mode, even bytes (BANK A)
correspond to backplane 1 (BP1) and odd bytes (BANK B) correspond to backplane 2
(BP2).

PCF8577C
LCD direct/duplex driver with I²C-bus interface
Mapping example: bit 0 of register 7 controls the LCD segment S25 if BANK bit is a
logic 1.
[1] Don’t care.
Mapping example: bit 7 of register 5 controls the LCD segment S24/BP2.
7.8 Power-on reset
At power-on reset the PCF8577C resets to a defined starting condition as follows:
1. Both backplane outputs are set to V
SS
in master mode; to 3-state in cascade mode
2. All segment outputs are set to V
SS
3. The segment byte registers and control register are cleared
4. The I
2
C-bus interface is initialized.

LCD direct/duplex driver with I²C-bus interface
8. I
2
C-bus interface
8.1 Characteristics of the I
2
C-Bus
The I
2
C-bus is for 2-way, 2-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two
lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must be
connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor when connected to the output stages
of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the I
2
C-bus is not busy.
8.1.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time
are interpreted as control signals.
8.1.2 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the I
2
C-bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW
transition of the data line, while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START condition (S). A
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP
condition (P).
8.1.3 System configuration
A device generating a message is a ‘transmitter’, a device receiving a message is the
‘receiver’. The device that controls the message is the ‘master’ and the devices which are
controlled by the master are the ‘slaves’.
