Power Supply Circuit
This circuit is a low power consumption power supply circuit that creates the voltages required for LCD drive. It can only
be used when the LC73101C is in master mode. It consists of a voltage step-up circuit, a voltage adjustment circuit, and a
voltage follower circuit. The on/off states of the voltage step-up circuit and the voltage adjustment circuit in the power
supply can be controlled individually with the Power Control Set command. This allows external power supply levels to
be used in combination with certain of the functions of the internal power supply circuit. Table 7 lists the functions
controlled by the 3 bits of data in the Power Control Set command, and table 8 presents examples of possible
combinations of functions.

Note: The step-up system pins are the CAP1+, CAP1–, CAP2+, CAP2–, CAP3+, CAP3–, CAP4+, CAP4–, CAP5+, and CAP5– pins.
While combinations other than the above are possible, these other combinations are impractical and are not recommended.
