    Abstract: Method and apparatus for controlling the updating of a random access memory (RAM) that stores data for coding the activation of segments of one or more alphanmeric characters of a liquid crystal display (LCD), to maintain substantially a direct current (DC) voltage value of zero across transparent conductive plates of the LCD, is performed or provided in a microcontroller having internal LCD control capabilities. A type B waveform is employed for activating the LCD, the waveform being of a type in which data is transmitted over two frames, the data in the second frame of which is the inverse of data in the first frame thereof to maintain an average DC voltage value over each two-frame portion of the waveform at substantially zero volt. The RAM is allowed to be written to for updating the data therein only after completion of an entire two-frame portion of the waveform and before commencement of a new two-frame portion, to avoid a non-zero average DC voltage across the LCD glass during a two-frame portion. An error bit is set whenever an attempt is made to write to the RAM at times other than between the end of a two-frame portion and the commencement of a new two-frame portion. A response to the error bit is made by returning to the write step that prompted it, to determine whether all of the data intended to be written has been stored in the RAM.

    Abstract: Apparatus for providing multiple of discrete voltage levels to drive a liquid crystal display (LCD) from an LCD module on board a microcontroller chip includes a charge pump with a switched-capacitor that develops the discrete voltages as multiples of the value of a base voltage that remains substantially without change irrespective of change in the supply voltage. A switched-capacitor charging circuit selectively charges a capacitor to produce successive additive charges individually retrievable from the capacitor. An LCD drive selectively transmits the discrete voltage levels to activate the LCD according to status of an external system under the control of the microcontroller. Voltage losses that may occur during the switched-capacitor charging are compensated to maintain the levels of the discrete voltages free of decay. Compensation is achieved by overcharging the capacitor by an amount substantially equivalent to the amount of voltage loss on the capacitor, using active feedback obtained from monitoring the charge on the capacitor.

    Abstract: A microcontroller apparatus is provided with an instruction set for manipulating the behavior of the microcontroller. The apparatus and system is provided that enables a linearized address space that makes modular emulation possible. Direct or indirect addressing is possible through register files or data memory. Special function registers, including the Program Counter (PC) and Working Register (W), are mapped in the data memory. An orthogonal (symmetrical) instruction set makes possible any operation on any register using any addressing mode. Consequently, two file registers to be used in some two operand instructions. This allows data to be moved directly between two registers without going through the W register. Thus increasing performance and decreasing program memory usage.
