PCF8536BT/1,118

Display Drivers Overview

The PCF8536BT/1,118 is a universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates, manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. It integrates a six-channel PWM generator for LED backlighting and communicates via a three-wire SPI interface. The device supports up to eight backplanes, 44 segments, and 320 elements. It operates on a digital supply voltage ranging from 1.8 V to 5.5 V and an LCD supply voltage from 2.5 V to 9.0 V. The component is housed in a TSSOP56 package.

Display Drivers Feature Summary

• Integrates a single-chip 320-segment LCD controller and driver with selectable display bias configurations.
• Includes a six-channel PWM generator for backlight LED illumination with 128-level resolution per channel.
• Features a high-speed SPI bus interface compatible with most microcontrollers.
• Supports wide operating voltage ranges for both logic and LCD power supplies.

Display Drivers Applications

• White goods
• Consumer products
• Industrial applications

Display Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /1,118 to confirm the TSSOP56 packaging configuration. Confirm that the BT variant matches the required SPI interface, as the AT variant utilizes I2C. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified commercial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation updates prior to final procurement.

Display Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated LCD driver with integrated PWM control is required for low multiplex displays. The SPI interface offers higher speed than I2C alternatives but requires additional pins. Consider the TSSOP56 package size constraints. This part is suitable for designs needing independent LED brightness control without external controllers.

Display Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the PCF8536 family of LCD drivers designed for general-purpose applications. It serves as the industrial/commercial grade counterpart to the automotive-grade PCA8536. The series provides a unified solution for driving complex LCDs while managing backlight intensity through integrated pulse width modulation capabilities.
