M66273FP
LCD CONTROLLER with VRAM
Ver.3.1 Dec,1999
DESCRIPTION
· Displayable LCD
· Binary display
The M66273 is a graphic display-only controller for dot matrix type STN-
LCD which is used widely for OA equipment, PDA, amusement
equipment, etc.
Monochrome STN-LCD of up to 153600 dots(equivalent to 1/2
VGA)
· 4 gray scale display
The M66273 is an advanced product from the M66272 at the point of MPU
interface and timing specifications. This LCD display functions are the
same with the M66272.
It is capable of displaying six types of LCD by combining the panel
configuration(single or dual scan), LCD display function(binary or gray
scale), LCD display data bus width(4 or 8 bit).
Monochrome STN-LCD of up to 76800 dots(equivalent to 1/4 VGA)
Reflective color STN-LCD of up to 76800 dots (equivalent to 1/4
VGA)
· Interface with MPU
· Capability of switching the interface with two-way 8/16-bit MPU
· Provides WAIT output pin(WAIT output when access from MPU to
VRAM is gained)

· Graphic display only
· Binary or 4 gray scale display(gray scale palette is used to set
pseudo medium 2 gray scale.)
The M66273 can support the reflective color type LCD (ECB : Electrically
Controlled Birefringence).
· Reflective color(ECB) uses a gray scale function.
· Vertical scrolling is allowed within memory range.
· Additional function for LCD module built-in system
· Capability of interfacing with two-way 8/16-bit MPU(16-bit MPU
byte access is not allowed.)
· Access from MPU to VRAM is gained via the I/O register.
· 5V or 3V single power supply
The IC has a built-in 19200-byte VRAM as a display data memory. All of
the VRAM addresses are externally opened. Direct addressing of display
data can be performed from MPU, thus display data processing such as
drawing can be efficiently carried out.
The built-in arbiter circuit(cycle steal system) which gives priority to
display access allows timing-free access from MPU to VRAM, preventing
display screen distortion.
The IC provides has a function for LCD module built-in system by
lessening connect pins between the MPU and the IC.
APPLICATION
PPC/FAX operation panel, display/operation panel of other OA
equipment, multifunction/public telephone
· PDA/electronic notebook/information terminal, portable terminal
FEATURES
· Display memory
· Game, Amusements, Kids computer, etc.
·Built-in 19200-byte(153.6-Kbit) VRAM(Equivalent to 640 x 240 dots x 1
screen, 320 x 240 dots x 2 screens)
· All addresses of built-in VRAM are externally opened.
