4.5.1 Multiplexing ratio and frame frequency
setting
Up to 4 common plates COM1..COM4 can be
used for multiplexing ratio ranging from 1/1 to 1/4.
The selection is made by the bits DS0 and DS1 of
the LCDCR as shown in theTable 16.
Table 16. Multiplexing ratio
If the 1/1 multiplexing ratio is chosen, LCD seg-
ments are refreshed with a frame frequency Flcd
derived from 32KHz clock with a division ratio de-
fined by the bits LF0..LF2 of the LCDCR.
When a higher multiplexing ratio is set, refreshment
frequency is decreased accordingly ( T able 17).
Table 17. LCD Frame Frequency Selection
4.5.2 Segment and common plates driving
LCD panels physical structure requires precise
timings and stepped voltage values on common
and segment outputs. Timings are managed by
the LCD controller, while voltages are derivated
from the VLCD value through internal resistive di-
vision. This internal divider is disabled when the
LCD driver is OFF in order to avoid consumption
on VLCD pin.
The 1/3 VLCD and 2/3 VLCD values used in 1/1,
1/3 and 1/4 multiplexing ratio modes are internally
generated and issued on external pins, while 1/2
VLCD value used in 1/2 mode is obtained by exter-

Note: For display voltages V
tivity of the divider may be too high for some appli-
cations (especially using 1/3 or 1/4 duty display
mode). In that case an external resistive divider
must be used to achieve the desired resistivity.
