EDE702

The EDE702 Serial LCD Interface IC has been designed to provide a cost-effective LCD control solution for a wide variety of embedded designs.  Offering the most frequently used features of the popular EDE700 IC (plus an added digital output line & lower crystal frequency), the EDE702 provides a tremendous price/ performance ratio.  It allows nearly any text-based LCD module to be controlled via a simple one-wire data link, freeing an additional 6 to 10 I/O lines on your microcontroller/ microprocessor system - which frequently allows a smaller, less
costly microcontroller to be utilized in your design.

The EDE702 allows full LCD control, including the creation of custom characters.  Also, in addition to complete screen control, the EDE702 provides a convenient serial-controlled digital output pin for lighting an indicator LED, driving a sounder, etc.  With a 2400 or 9600 Baud rate and selectable serial data polarity, the EDE702 can easily communicate with any device capable of sending asynchronous serial data.  Connection to most microcontrollers, stamps, or microprocessors can be made using a single data wire without any type of voltage level conversion.  Connection to a PC requires only a 33KW resistor.
