LCD_A Controller Operation
19-6 LCD_A Controller
To source the bias voltages V2 V4 externally, REXT is set. This also disables
the internal bias generation. Typically an equally weighted resistor divider is
used with resistors ranging from 100 kW to 1 MW. When using an external
resistor divider, the V
LCD
voltage may be sourced from the internal charge
pump when VLCDEXT = 0. V5 can also be sourced externally when R03EXT
is set.
When using an external resistor divider R33 may serve as a switched-V
LCD
output when VLCDEXT = 0. This allows the power to the resistor ladder to be
turned off eliminating current consumption when the LCD is not used. When
VLCDEXT = 1, R33 serves as a V
LCD
input.
