Data Transfer Method and Command Write Method
Display control command and data are written by an 8-bit serial transfer.
Write timing is shown in the figure below.
Setting the CS pin to "Low" level enables a data transfer.
Data is 8 bits and is sequentially input into the DA pin from LSB (LSB first).
As shown in the figure below, data is read by the shift register at the rising edge of the shift clock,
which is input into the CP pin. If 8-bit data is input, internal load signals are automatically
generated and data is written to each register and RAM.
Therefore it is not necessary to input load signals from the outside.
Setting the CS pin to "High" disables data transfer. Data input from the point when the CS pin
changes from "High" to "Low" is recognized in 8-bit units.

When data is written to RAM (DCRAM, ADRAM, CGRAM) continuously, addresses are
internally incremented automatically.
Therefore it is not necessary to specify the 1st byte to write RAM data for the 2nd and later
bytes.
Reset Function
Reset is executed when the RESET pin is set to "L", (when turning power on, for example) and
initializes all functions.
Initial status is as follows.
• Address of each RAM .................. address "00"H
• Data of each RAM ........................ All contents are undefined
• Display digit.................................. 16 digits
• Brightness adjustment ................. 0/1024
• All display lights ON or OFF ..... OFF mode
• Segment output ............................ All segment outputs go "Low"
• AD output ..................................... All AD outputs go "Low"
Please set again according to "Setting Flowchart" after reset.
