OVERVIEW
The SED1230 Series is a dot matrix LCD controller
driver for character display, and can display a maximum
of 48 characters, 4 user-defined characters, and a maxi-
mum of 64 symbols by means of 4-bit, 8-bit or serial data
sent from a microcomputer.
A built-in character generator ROM is prepared for 256
character types, and each character font consists of 5 × 7
dots. A user-defined character RAM for four characters
of 5 × 7 dots are incorporated, and a symbol register is
also incorporated. With these, it is possible to apply this
Series to display with a high degree of freedom. This
Series can operate handy units with a minimum power
consumption by means of its low power consumption
and standby mode.
The SED1230 Series are classified into SED1230,
SED1231, SED1232, and SED1233 depending on the
duty of use and the number of display columns.
