HD66420
Power Down Modes
The HD66420 has a standby function providing low power-dissipation, which is initiated by internal
register settings. During standby mode, all the HD66420 functions are inactive and data in the display
RAM and internal registers except the DISP bit are retained. However, only control registers can be
accessed during standby mode. HD66420 has an another power down mode: partial display. In this mode
only a part of display is active. However, this duty ratio is 1/8 so the external power supply for LCD drive
will be inactive. The oscillator does not halt, thus dissipating more power than standby mode. Table 7 lists
the LCD driver output pin status during standby mode. Figure 20 shows the procedure for initiating and
canceling a standby mode and figure 21 shows the procedure for changing oscillator. Note that these
procedure must be strictly followed to protect data in the display RAM.
