Product details
Overview
PCF2113EU/2/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. It integrates on-chip LCD bias voltage generation, character generator ROM (240 chars), CGRAM (16 chars), 80-byte DDRAM, and supports 4-bit/8-bit parallel or I²C-bus interface. Used in portable instruments requiring ultra-low current consumption.
For engineers reviewing the PCF2113EU/2/F4 datasheet, PCF2113EU/2/F4 pinout, PCF2113EU/2/F4 application, or PCF2113EU/2/F4 equivalent, key selection factors include its icon-mode current draw (<25 µA), programmable VLCD temperature compensation (−0.16 %/K to −0.24 %/K), 18-row/60-column output capability, and dual-supply operation (VDD1: 1.8–5.5 V; VDD2: 2.2–4.0 V).
Technical Context
The PCF2113EU/2/F4 implements a fully integrated LCD timing and bias architecture: it generates all required LCD bias voltages internally-including VLCD (programmable 1.90–6.86 V at 27 °C) and 5-level intermediate bias-eliminating external resistor networks. Its oscillator requires no external components, and Direct Mode enables VLCD = VDD2 during icon-only display to reduce power.
It supports three multiplex rates (1:18 for 2-line, 1:9 for 1-line, 1:2 for icon-only), automatically configures bias levels per mode, and uses an extended 11-code instruction set. The chip includes dedicated R17/R18 outputs for icon rows and provides hardware cursor control with blink function.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LCD controller/driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCF2119DH/4 | LQFP100 package; identical core functionality but fixed 100-pin footprint - no bump die option | Requires PCB land pattern for LQFP, not suitable for COF or direct die bonding | Select when standard surface-mount assembly is preferred over flex substrate integration |
| ST7066U | Single-supply (2.7–5.5 V); no on-chip VLCD generator - requires external bias circuit or regulated VLCD source | Higher system-level component count and layout complexity for LCD biasing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs design simplicity and ultra-low power requirements |
Compared with PCF2113EU/2/F4, PCF2119DH/4 offers identical feature set in a conventional package but lacks bump die flexibility, while ST7066U reduces integration level - requiring external bias generation and increasing total solution size and power budget.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCF2113EU/2/F4 in an LCD system?
The PCF2113EU/2/F4 serves as a complete single-chip LCD controller and driver, managing display data RAM, character generation (ROM + RAM), bias voltage generation (VLCD and intermediate levels), row/column timing, and interface translation (I²C or parallel). It eliminates need for external bias resistors, DC-DC converters, or discrete timing components in 2×12 or 1×24 character LCD modules.
How does the PCF2113EU/2/F4 achieve ultra-low power consumption in icon-only mode?
The PCF2113EU/2/F4 achieves <25 µA in icon-only mode by reducing VLCD output voltage and lowering internal switching frequency - enabled via dedicated Direct Mode (DM bit) that connects VLCDOUT directly to VDD2. This avoids unnecessary charge pumping and minimizes dynamic power in unused display segments.
Can the PCF2113EU/2/F4 drive both alphanumeric text and custom icons simultaneously?
Yes. The PCF2113EU/2/F4 supports simultaneous alphanumeric display (using CGROM or CGRAM) and icon rendering (via dedicated R17/R18 row outputs driving up to 120 icons). CGRAM allocates 3–6 characters for icon patterns depending on blink usage, while DDRAM stores text content independently.
What are the voltage requirements for the PCF2113EU/2/F4's dual-supply architecture?
The PCF2113EU/2/F4 requires two independent supplies: VDD1 (1.8–5.5 V) powers logic circuits and interfaces, while VDD2/VDD3 (2.2–4.0 V, tied together) powers the on-chip VLCD generator. VLCD output range is 1.90–6.5 V, programmable via internal 6-bit registers VA and VB.
Is the PCF2113EU/2/F4 pin-compatible with other members of the PCF2113x family?
No - PCF2113EU/2/F4 is a chip-with-bumps (CWB) die intended for direct bonding, whereas variants like PCF2113DH/4 use LQFP100 packaging. Pin functions match across the family, but physical implementation (pad layout, bump geometry, die size) differs. Interchangeability requires redesign of substrate interconnects.
