Remark: A clock signal must always be supplied to the device. Removing the clock,
freezes the LCD in a DC state, which is not suitable for the liquid crystal.
The timing of the PCF8576C sequences the internal data flow of the device. This includes
the transfer of display data from the display RAM to the display segment outputs. In
cascaded applications, the synchronization signal (SYNC) maintains the correct timing
relationship between the PCF8576Cs in the system. The timing also generates the LCD
frame frequency which is derived as an integer division of the clock frequency (see
Table
internal clock is used or by the frequency applied to the pin CLK when an external clock is
used.

The ratio between the clock frequency and the LCD frame frequency depends on the
power mode in which the device is operating. In the power-saving mode the reduction
ratio is six times smaller; this allows the clock frequency to be reduced by a factor of six.
The reduced clock frequency results in a significant reduction in power consumption.
