The SED1520 is a dot matrix LCD driver LSI intended for display of characters and graphics. The bit-addressable display data, which is sent from a microcomputer, is stored in a built-in display data RAM and generates the LCD drive signal. The SED1520 incorporates innovative circuit design strategies to assure very low current dissipation and a wide range of operating voltages. With these features, the SED1520 permits the user to implement high-performance handy systems operating from a miniature battery. In order for the user to adaptively configure his system, the SED1520 family offers two application forms. One form allows an LCD display of 12 characters
´ 2 lines with an indicator with a single chip. The other is dedicated to driving a total of 80 segments, enabling a medium-size display to be achieved by using a minimum number of drivers.
