2.5.4  HARDWARE WATCHDOG TIMER 
The hardware watchdog timer of the 71M6533 is disabled when the voltage at the V1 pin is at 3.3V (V3P3). On 
the Demo Boards, this is done by plugging in a jumper at TP10 between the V1 and V3P3 pins. 
Programming the flash memory or emulation using the ADM51 In-Circuit-Emulator can only 
be done when a jumper is plugged in at TP10 between V1 and V3P3. 
Conversely, removing the jumper at TP10 will enable the hardware watchdog timer. 
2.5.5  LCD 
Various  tests  of  the  LCD  interface  can  be  performed  with  the  Demo  Board,  using  the  serial  command  line 
interface (CLI): 
Setting the LCD_EN register to 1 enables the display outputs. 
Register Name 
Address [bits] 
R/W 
Description 
LCD_EN 
2021[5] 
R/W 
Enables  the  LCD  display.  When  disabled,  VLC2,  VLC1,  and 
VLC0 are ground as are the COM and SEG outputs. 
To access the LCD_EN register, we apply the following CLI commands: 
>RI21$  Reads the hex value of register 0x2021 
>25  Response from Demo Code indicating the bit 5 is set 
>RI21=5  Writes the hex value 0x05 to register 0x2021 causing the display to be switched off 
>RI21=25  Sets the LCD_EN register back to normal 
The  71M6533  provides  a  charge  pump  capable  of  boosting  the  3.3VDC  supply  voltage  up  to  5.0VDC.  The 
boost circuit is enabled with the LCD_BSTEN register. The 6533 Demo Boards have the boost circuit enabled by 
default.

Address [bits] 
R/W 
Description 
LCD_BSTEN 
2020[7] 
R/W 
Enables the LCD voltage boost circuit. 
To disable the LCD voltage boost circuit, we apply the following CLI commands: 
>RI20$  Reads the hex value of register 0x2020 
>8E  Response from Demo Code indicating the bit 7 is set 
>RI20=E  Writes the hex value 0x0E to register 0x2020 causing the LCD boost to be switched off 
>RI20=8E  Enables the LCD boost circuit 
The LCD_CLK register determines the frequency at which the COM pins change states. A slower clock means 
lower power consumption, but if the clock is too slow, visible flicker can occur. The default clock frequency for 
the 71M6533-DB Demo Boards is 150Hz (LCD_CLK = 01).

Description 
LCD_CLK[1:0] 
2021[1:0] 
R/W 
Sets the LCD clock frequency, i.e. the frequency at which SEG 
and COM pins change states.

To change the LCD clock frequency, we apply the following CLI commands: 
>RI21$  Reads the hex value of register 0x2021 
>25  Response from Demo Code indicating the bit 0 is set and bit 1 is cleared. 
>RI21=24  Writes the hex value 0x24 to register 0x2021 clearing bit 0 – LCD flicker is visible now
