4.6 Memory Map

User software selects which segments should be on or off by using the LCD memory registers. Each bit represents a single LCD segment connected to a COMx and Sx pin pair. The row (or byte) corresponds to the Sx pin, and the columns (or each bit within the byte) correspond to the COMx pins. In 2-mux through 4-mux modes, the upper and lower nibbles of each row correspond to different Sx pins – only up to 4 bits in the byte are needed since there are only up to 4 COMx lines, so two Sx pins can be set by a single byte. In 5-mux through 8-mux modes, there are more than 4 COMx lines so the whole row (byte) is required for each segment Sx pin.

Figure 8 shows an example memory configuration for 4-mux mode. The S38 and S39 segment pins in this example correspond to the lower and upper nibbles of the byte at LCD memory offset 0xA4. To control the segment connected to COM0 + S38 or COM0 + S39, the software would set the highlighted bits to either 1 or 0 to indicate the desired LCD segment state "on" or "off".
