Voltage adjustment circuit
The stepped-up voltage generated at the V
OUT
pin is output as the V
1
LCD drive voltage through the power supply
adjustment circuit. Since the LC73101C provides a reference voltage based on a high-precision constant-voltage
source, an electronic potentiometer with 64 levels, and furthermore, a voltage adjustment resistor built in to the V
1
pin,
a high-precision voltage adjustment circuit can be implemented with a minimal number of external components. Figure
8 shows this voltage adjustment circuit.

The formulas below show the relationship between Ra, Rb, V

, V

, and V

. The term
α
is the set value of the
electronic potentiometer.
(1) Reference voltage
The LC73101C includes a constant-voltage supply that features a selectable temperature correction coefficient: one of
three slopes can be selected. The Reference Supply Selection command is used to select the slope. This command can
also be used to isolate (disconnect) the internal low-voltage supply so that the reference voltage can be supplied from the
external V
RS
pin. The bits D0 and D1 in the Reference Supply Selection command control these settings. Table 9 lists the
reference voltage V
REG
values that correspond to the D0 and D1 settings.
