Hi!:

I just bought two GLCD from you. There are the CFAG240128L-YYH-TZ and CFAG240128L-STI-TZ. Im working on the interface with an LPC2148 ARM uC.

There are a few cuestions about powering and interfacing:

1. How connect Vo and Vee? Since this GLCD has internal inveter, wich circuit is requiered to dim the contrast?

2. Common values for trimmpot on 1.? Max Supply Current on Vo?

3. Pin 20 is called RV on datasheet? What it's does? Can be left unwired?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, im from Argentina.

4. There are any diferences in the power conections between the two LCD's?

Thanks!

You will want to connect your potentiometer across Vdd (pin 3) and Vee (pin 9) with the wiper going to Vo (pin 4) for your contrast control.

2. Common values for trimmpot on 1.? Max Supply Current on Vo?

We recommend using a 10K Ohm pot.

When we worked with the module, we tied RV to ground (low). We think it will invert the characters if you tie it high but did not verify that in our testing.

The only difference is the actual backlight LEDs with the "STI" variant being the brighter of the two which uses less current.

You are most welcome -- and your English is fine and I can assure you is much better than my Spanish :)

About the RV pin:

Say I wanted to rotate the lcd module 180 degrees, will the lcd display data also be rotated 180 if the RV is connected to VDD?

Or is the data inverted (black to clear, and clear to black)?
