Version:

AN87391 demonstrates how easy it is to drive segment LCD glass using the integrated LCD driver in PSoC® 4. PSoC 4 offers multiple LCD drive modes, very low power consumption, and provides a complete user interface and system solution. Using example projects, this application note explains low-power LCD design and a user interface solution that includes CapSense® .

Introduction

Most low-power portable handheld devices such as glucose meters, multimeters, and blood pressure monitors use a segment LCD to display information. Segment LCDs require an external driver to interface with a microcontroller. PSoC 4 implements an integrated low-power LCD driver that can directly drive segment LCD glass.
