Note 1.5-1: This pin (CS#) is the chip select input connecting to the MCU. The chip is
enabled for MCU communication only when CS# is pulled Low.
Note 1 . 5-2: This pin (D/C#) is Data/Command control pin connecting to the MCU.
When the pin is pulled HIGH, the data will be interpreted as data. When
the pin is pulled Low, the data will be interpreted as command.
Note 1.5-3: This pin (RES#) is reset signal input. The Reset is active Low.
Note 1.5-4: This pin (BUSY) is Busy state output pin. When Busy is low, the operation of
chip should not be interrupted and any commands should not be issued to
the module. The driver IC will put Busy pin low when the driver IC is working
such as:
- Outputting display waveform; or
- Programming with OTP
- Communicating with digital temperature sensor
Note 1. 5-5: This pin (BS1) is for 3-line SPI or 4-line SPI selection. When it is “Low”, 4-
line SPI is selected. When it is “High”, 3-line SPI (9 bits SPI) is selected.
Please refer to below Table.

1.6 Reference Circuit
Note:
1. Inductor L1 is wire-wound inductor. There are no special requirements
for other parameters.
2. Suggests using Si1304BDL or Si1308EDL TUBE MOS (Q1) , otherwise it
may affect the normal boost of the circuit.
3. The default circuit is 4-wire SPI. If the user wants to use 3-wire SPI, the
resistor R4 can be removed when users design.
4. Default voltage value of all capacitors is 50V.
