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.

to DCRAM
Note: 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.

Addresses are in transit from 0000B to 1111B in a loop
while being incremented by one for each transition.(1111B
is followed by 0000B.)
