Product details
Overview
PCF2113DU/F4 from NXP Semiconductors is a low-power CMOS LCD controller/driver IC designed to drive 2-line × 12-character or 1-line × 24-character dot-matrix LCDs with 5×8 dot format, featuring on-chip LCD bias generation, 80-byte DDRAM, 240-character CGROM, and dual interface support (4/8-bit parallel or I²C). It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V logic supply and supports icon-only mode with <25 µA current consumption.
For engineers reviewing the PCF2113DU/F4 datasheet, PCF2113DU/F4 pinout, PCF2113DU/F4 application, or PCF2113DU/F4 equivalent, this device is selected for embedded display subsystems requiring minimal external components, ultra-low standby current (<2 µA in power-down), programmable VLCD generation with temperature compensation, and flexible character/icon rendering in telecom, POS, and portable instrumentation.
Technical Context
The PCF2113DU/F4 integrates a fully autonomous LCD timing engine with automatic multiplex rate selection (1:18 normal, 1:9 single-line, 1:2 icon-only), on-chip 4/3/2-stage voltage multiplier for VLCD (2.2–6.5 V range), and temperature-compensated bias generation (−0.16 %/K to −0.24 %/K). Its oscillator requires no external components, and VLCD is decoupled internally from VDD.
It implements dual register architecture (IR/DR) with busy flag output on DB7, supports instruction set extensions for cursor control and display shift, and uses dedicated R17/R18 outputs for icon row driving. The CGRAM reserves up to 16 user-definable characters-3 used for static icons or 6 when blink is enabled.

| DB0–DB7 / RS / R/W / E | Parallel interface | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; E strobes writes; RS selects IR/DR; R/W controls direction |
| SCL / SDA | I²C interface | Standard 2-wire bus; SA0 (DB3) sets slave address - allows multiple devices on same bus |
| OSC / PD | Oscillator & power control | OSC connects to VDD1 for internal clock; PD = LOW enables normal operation, HIGH enters power-down |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-chip LCD controller/driver | Eliminates external bias resistors, capacitors, and clock crystals - reduces BOM count by ≥7 components |
| Icon-only mode with reduced MUX | Switches to 1:2 multiplex and lowers VLCD - cuts current to <25 µA while maintaining visible icon contrast |
| Programmable VLCD temperature coefficient | Adjustable −0.16 %/K to −0.24 %/K via VA/VB registers - maintains stable LCD contrast across −20 °C to +70 °C |
| Dual character memory architecture | 240-character ROM (alphanumeric/kana) + 16-character RAM (user-defined symbols/icons) - enables branded UI elements |
| Direct mode for VLCD | Bypasses internal multiplier to tie VLCDOUT directly to VDD2 - reduces power loss during icon-only operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LCD controller/driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCF2113DH/4 | LQFP100 package with 100-pin leaded footprint; includes all same die functionality and pinout mapping | Requires PCB with 0.5 mm pitch LQFP land pattern; suitable for prototyping and manual assembly | Select when board layout supports surface-mount QFP and thermal/mechanical robustness is prioritized over minimal footprint |
| ST7066U | Compatible HD44780 instruction set; 1.8–5.5 V operation; no on-chip VLCD generation - requires external bias circuit | Higher system-level component count; lacks icon-mode optimization and temperature compensation | Select only if legacy HD44780 software compatibility is mandatory and external bias design is already established |
Compared with PCF2113DH/4, the PCF2113DU/F4 offers identical electrical performance in chip-in-tray form for COF or direct-die mounting, reducing board area by >60%; versus ST7066U, it delivers integrated power management and lower system current but requires updated initialization firmware.

FAQ
What is the maximum display resolution supported by the PCF2113DU/F4?
The PCF2113DU/F4 supports up to 2 lines × 12 characters (24 total) or 1 line × 24 characters in 5×8 dot format, with additional capability to drive 120 icons using dedicated R17/R18 row outputs and CGRAM-defined patterns. It does not support graphic or pixel-addressable displays - only character-based and segmented LCDs.
Does the PCF2113DU/F4 require external components for LCD bias generation?
No, the PCF2113DU/F4 includes an on-chip configurable voltage multiplier and intermediate bias generator, eliminating the need for external resistive divider networks or charge pumps. Only decoupling capacitors on VLCD pins are required when using internal generation, as specified in the NXP datasheet section 8.1.
How does the PCF2113DU/F4 achieve ultra-low current consumption in icon-only mode?
The PCF2113DU/F4 achieves <25 µA in icon-only mode by switching to 1:2 multiplex rate, reducing LCD output switching frequency, and allowing lower VLCD voltage - all managed automatically via internal configuration. This mode disables unused row/column drivers and minimizes active circuitry while preserving icon visibility.
Can the PCF2113DU/F4 operate with a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the PCF2113DU/F4 supports VDD1 from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, so a single 3.3 V rail fully satisfies its logic supply requirement. For VLCD generation, VDD2/VDD3 must be 2.2–4.0 V - a 3.3 V supply meets this range and can also serve as VLCD source in Direct Mode, simplifying power architecture.
What interfaces does the PCF2113DU/F4 support, and how are they selected?
The PCF2113DU/F4 supports both 4/8-bit parallel and 2-wire I²C interfaces. Interface selection is hardware-configured: when SCL/SDA are pulled to VSS1 or VDD1 and E is HIGH, parallel mode is active; when E is held LOW and SCL/SDA are driven, I²C mode activates. DB3/SA0 sets I²C slave address, enabling multi-device bus configurations.
