Orient Display AMC1602AR-B-B6WTDW

This LCD display module incorporates an LSI controller containing two 8-bit registers: an Instruction Register (IR) and a Data Register (DR). The IR stores instruction codes (such as display clear and cursor shift) as well as address information for the Display Data RAM (DDRAM) and Character Generator RAM (CGRAM); it is write-only by the MPU. The DR temporarily stores data to be written to or read from DDRAM/CGRAM. These two registers are selected via the Register Select (RS) signal. When the Busy Flag (BF) is 1, it indicates that the controller LSI is in internal operation mode and will not accept the next instruction; when RS=0 and R/W=1, the busy flag is output to DB7. The next instruction must not be written until the busy flag is confirmed to be 0. The Address Counter (AC) assigns addresses to DDRAM and CGRAM. The DDRAM stores display data represented as 8-bit character codes, with an extended capacity of 80×8 bits (i.e., 80 characters). The Character Generator ROM (CGROM) generates 5×8-dot or 5×10-dot character patterns from 8-bit character codes. The Character Generator RAM (CGRAM) allows users to define custom characters via programming — up to 8 character patterns for 5×8-dot format, or 4 character patterns for 5×10-dot format. Character patterns stored in CGRAM can be displayed by writing the character codes at the addresses shown in the left column of Table 1 to DDRAM. Operating conditions: Ta=25℃, VDD=5.0±0.5V.
