NXP Semiconductors introduced the LPC11D00 and LPC12D00 series of ARM Cortex-M0 microcontrollers with integrated segment LCD drivers, enabling high contrast and brightness in a single chip. Featuring the NXP PCF8576D LCD driver, the MCUs are capable of driving any static or multiplexed LCDs containing up to four backplanes and 40 segments, and can be cascaded with multiple segment LCD drivers to accommodate up to 2560 segments for larger display applications. The LCD driver supports a wide LCD supply range from 2,5 V to 6,5 V, making the LPC11D00 and LPC12D00 suitable for interfacing with both low-threshold and high-threshold LCDs.
