LCD can be driven by an external signal or by con-
necting a capacitor between LCD and ground (GND),
which will enable the on-chip oscillator required to gen-
erate the backplane output voltage. Figure 5 shows the
relationship between capacitance value and output fre-
quency. Leaving the LCD input unconnected is not
recommended. When driven by an external clock, the
backplane output is in phase with the input clock. When
cascading
Figure 7), the backplane output can be generated
using a capacitor to GND on the first AY0438. This
backplane output can then be connected to the LCD
input of the second AY0438. The backplane output of
the second device is then used to drive the backplane
of the LCD module.
