PCA85262
Automotive 32 x 4 LCD driver for low multiplex rates
Rev. 3 — 12 November 2018
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA85262 is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD)1 with low multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or
multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 32 segments. It can be easily
cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCA85262 is compatible with most
microcontrollers and communicates via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Communication
overheads are minimized by a display RAM with auto-incremented addressing, by
hardware subaddressing, and by display memory switching (static and duplex drive
modes).
For a selection of NXP LCD segment drivers, see Table 23 on page 46
