Product data sheet
When display data is transmitted to the PCA85232 the received display bytes are stored
in the display RAM in accordance with the selected LCD drive mode. The data is stored as
it arrives and does not wait for the acknowledge cycle as with the commands. Depending
on the current multiplex drive mode, data is stored singularly, in pairs, triples, or
quadruples. To illustrate the filling order, an example of a 7-segment numeric display
showing all drive modes is given in
applies equally to other LCD types.
The following applies to

In static drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed in row 0 as one byte.
In 1:2 multiplex drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into
row 0 and 1 as two successive 4-bit RAM words.
In 1:3 multiplex drive mode the eight bits are placed in triples into row 0, 1, and 2 as
three successive 3-bit RAM words, with bit 3 of the third address left unchanged. It is
not recommended to use this bit in a display because of the difficult addressing. This
last bit may, if necessary, be controlled by an additional transfer to this address but
care should be taken to avoid overwriting adjacent data because always full bytes are
transmitted.
In 1:4 multiplex drive mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples
into row 0, 1, 2, and 3 as two successive 4-bit RAM words.

the segment outputs; and between the bits in a RAM word and the backplane outputs.
