Pin Description of The LCD:: Microcontroller

The document describes how an LCD is interfaced with a microcontroller in 4-bit mode. The LCD's RS pin is connected to port P0.0, EN pin to P0.1, and data pins D4-D7 are connected to ports P0.4-P0.7. In 4-bit mode, data is sent in two parts - the upper nibble followed by the lower nibble after a delay. Control signals like RS, R/W, and E are used to select registers and transfer data/commands to the LCD.

PIN DESCRIPTION OF THE LCD:

TABLE: 4.1 PIN DESCRIPTION OF LCD LCD INTERFAC WITH MICROCONTROLLER

Microcontroller
P FIGURE: 4.7 INTERFACING LCD TO MICROCONTROLLER O R T P I N S

THE LCD IS GENERALLY INTERFACED IN 8-BIT MODE OR 4-BIT MODE. IN THIS PROJECT LCD IS CONNECTED IN 4-BIT MODE THE INTERFACE CONNECTIONS OF LCD WITH MICROCONTROLLER ARE AS FOLLOWS

RS OF LCD IS CONNECTED TO P0.0 OF MICROCONTROLLER EN OF LCD IS CONNECTED TO P0.1 OF MICROCONTROLLER D4 OF LCD IS CONNECTED TO P0.4 OF MICROCONTROLLER D5 OF LCD IS CONNECTED TO P0.5 OF MICROCONTROLLER D6 OF LCD IS CONNECTED TO P0.6 OF MICROCONTROLLER D7 OF LCD IS CONNECTED TO P0.7 OF MICROCONTROLLER IN 8-BIT MODE, THE COMPLETE ASCII CODE IS SENT AT ONCE ALONG WITH THE CONTROL SIGNALS. BUT IN 4-BIT MODE, THE DATA IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS, I.E. MSB & LSB, AND ARE CALLED UPPER NIBBLE & LOWER NIBBLE. THE CONTROL SIGNALS ARE RS, R/W & E. RS IS USED TO SELECT THE INTERNAL REGISTERS I.E. DATA REGISTER & COMMAND REGISTER. R/W IS USED TO SET THE MODE OF LCD TO READ MODE OR WRITE MODE. E IS USED AS CHIP SELECT AND IS USED TO PUSH THE DATA INTERNALLY TO THE CORRESPONDING REGISTERS. TO TRANSFER THE DATA/COMMAND IN 8-BIT MODE, THE DATA IS WRITTEN TO THE 8-BIT DATA BUS AFTER SELECTING THE REQUIRED REGISTER AND SETTING THE MODE TO WRITE MODE. THE E SIGNAL PIN IS THEN GIVEN A HIGH TO LOW SIGNAL TO TRANSFER THE DATA. TO TRANSFER THE DATA/COMMAND IN 4-BIT MODE, THE HIGHER NIBBLE IS FIRST WRITTEN TO THE MSB OF THE DATA PORT AND THE E IS GIVEN A HIGH TO LOW SIGNAL. AFTER A LITTLE DELAY OR WHEN THE LCD IS NOT BUSY, THE LOWER NIBBLE IS TRANSFERRED IN THE SAME PROCEDURE.
