7-segment LCD uses two-wire interface - 09/04/03 EDN-Design Ideas You can connect seven-segment LCDs using only a two-wire interface (Figure 1) . The two-wire interface may be at the field-effect, direct-drive LCD or at a serial interface (such as I2C) that uses an eight-pin microcontroller. The design in Figure 1 uses an Atmel (www. atmel. com) ATtiny12 microcontroller, IC1. VCC can range from 2.7 to 5.5V. Each digit receives drive from an 8-bit 74HC164 shift register, which provIdeas seven outputs for each of the segments and one output for a decimal point or a colon Design by Hans Krobath

Audio noise generator drives earphones or small speaker - This is a circuit that generates white noise, rolled-off to drive earphones or a small speaker. White noise creates is a "rushing" sound, which sounds something like air rushing by your ear (s) . White noise would be flat with frequency, and since this circuit rolls off within the audio range, I refer to it as "rolled-off" noise. White (or rolled-off) noise __ Designed by Dick Cappels

Circuit for driving a liquid crystal (LCD) shutter to simply pass or block light - Many of our customers request samples of a simple liquid crystal display shutter that can pass or block light. Usually this light is in the visible spectrum, however occasionally we hear of applications where IR or UV wavelengths are involved. If your application is for a shutter that operates outside the visible spectrum, please let us know at the time you request your sample. __ Liquid Crystal Technologies
Circuit provides effective LCD drive - 09/28/00 EDN-Design Ideas LCDs find wide use in portable instruments, thanks to their attractive display and low power consumption. The circuit in Figure 1 is an effective driver for LCDs. The circuit comprises two main sections—the ICM7211 drivers (IC2 Design by Luo Ben Cheng, Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, China
Circuit Tricks Increase LCD Contrast - 04/24/97 EDN-Design Ideas A popular combination in embedded designs is the Microchip Technology PIC µC mated to one of the many available LCD modules. These combinations provide a low-cost, simple way to add intelligence to any design. The LCD modules are specified to operate from one 5V supply, but the lack of a negative voltage to bias the LCD backplane severely limits the available LCD contrast.

Digital pot adjusts LCD's contrast - 02/04/99 EDN-Design Ideas NOTE
: Page includes
several designs. Scroll to find this one. You can use a digitally controlled potentiometer for many purposes. In this example, you can use the device to regulate the contrast of a standard (such as two lines by 40 characters] LCD. You can use the circuit in Figure 1 in a portable test system, in which you need to change the contrast of the LCD as a function of the viewing angle. You choose the contrast setup Design by Jef Collin, CSE Systems, Turnhout, Belgium
Digital Potentiometer Controls LCD Bias - 03/17/94 EDN-Design Ideas Designers of pen-based computers can easily relegate some controls that were previously mechanical, such as switches and potentiometers, to on-screen icons. For example, the circuit in Fig 1 shows one way that digital logic can control the -24V-dc LCD bias using two general-purpose I/O command lines.

Display bit-map images on small-graphic LCDs - 11/19/98 EDN-Design Ideas NOTE
: File contain several designs. Scroll to find this one. Combining a high-level language, such as Microsoft Windows, with low-level assembly code or C++ code allows you to display perfect bit-map pictures on your small-graphic LCD screen. You can use Microsoft Paint or any other bit-map-generating program to define and edit the picture. Unlike segmented and alphanumeric LCDs, small-graphic LCDs are fully graphical and can display logos, graphs, or any other image in addition to numbers and characters. The main hurdle to upgrading to this type of display is the software necessary to display the bit-map pictures. Design by Todd Fitzsimmons, Densitron Corp, Santa Fe Springs, CA

DVI/HDMI Decoder - From the day i received my beagleboard rev. B7 i was missing an easy way to use the digital video interface with a small LCD screen. Many people seem to have the same problem and often end up with big and expensive adaptors. Further indication that this is a common problem comes from the fact that the latest incarnation of the beagleboard includes a way to directly interface to the OMAPs parallel video interface. Unfortunatately this only provides 1.8v signals and still needs a converter to interface to the 3.3v signals most raw LCD use. __ Designed by Till Harbaum <Till @ Harbaum.org>
EE 491 Senior Project Digital Oscilloscope Cornell University 2000 - My senior project is to design and build a digital oscilloscope for Professor Land. This project involves a number of design challenges. On the analog side, I need a fast, low noise A/D converter. In addition, the circuit requires a -20V bias from a 5V supply. In the realm of digital, it involves interfacing two micro-controllers with each other, an LCD display, and an analog to digital converter. With such a broad range of challenges, I searched for help from my professors and contacts I made on the web. I was successful in getting __ Designed by Reid Gurnee
