LCD Port Configuration (LPCR)
The LCD port configuration register is loaded with the SET LCD/PORT CONFIGURATION term (see table 23). The
second nibble following this term at the LCD control register (LCR) defines the port configuration as described in
table 25.

3.2.1
Initializing the LCD Driver
After power-on the LCD driver circuitry is set automati-
cally into 3:1 multiplex drive, LCD-segment output and
powersave
mode.
This
means
all
LCD
outputs
(COM0...COM3, S01...S32) are at VSS level. The
contents of the LCD display buffer and the shadow
register are set to 0. The CLEAR/INIT term will initialise
the LCD control logic after power-on into a well-defined
state.
3.2.2
LCD operating modes
After power-on or the CLEAR/INIT term the LCD dis-
play buffer and the shadow register are loaded with 0.
With the LOAD ALL SEGMENTS term the whole
shadow register is loaded with a data nibble following the
term. To display the data at the LCD panel there are two
terms available – the DISPLAY NORMAL and the DIS-
PLAY ROTATE term. With the DISPLAY NORMAL
term the data available in the shadow register is copied to
the LCD display buffer and then displayed at the LCD
panel. The DISPLAY ROTATE works in a different way.
The data from the shadow register is moved into the LCD
display buffer and displayed. The previous data of the
LCD display buffer will be available in the shadow regis-
ter. This term is useful by displaying alternating display
information.
