19.2 Control of LCD Driver Circuit
The LCD driver is controlled by the LCD Control Register
(LCR). The LCR[1:0] determines the frequency of COM
signal scanning of each segment output. RESET clears the
LCD control register LCR values to logic zero. The LCD
display can continue to operate during SLEEP and STOP
modes if a sub-frequency clock is used as system clock
source. The constant voltage booster circuit for using LCD
driver is built in, so the definite voltage could supplied re-
gardless of power source voltage fluctuations.
Note: The Sub clock is used as voltage booster source
clock, so the stabilization time is need to use voltage boost-
er. Normally, the stabilization time is need more than
500ms. The external bias registers cannot be used for LCD
display supply voltage.

Selecting Frame Frequency
Frame frequency is set to the base frequency as shown in
the following Table 19-1. The fS is selected to fSUB (sub
clock) which is 32.768kHz.

In reset state, LCD source clock is sub clock. So, when the
power is supplied, the LCD display would be flickered be-
fore the oscillation of sub clock is stabilized. It is recom-
mended to use LCD display on after the stabilization time
of sub clock is considered enough. If the LCD is reset dur-
ing display, the display would be blotted by the capacity of
LCD power circuit. The external circuit of constant voltage
booster for using LCD driver is shown at right.
