Note 1.5-1: This pin (CSB) is the chip select input connecting to the MCU. The chip
is enabled for MCU communication only when CSB is pulled Low.
Note 1.5-2: This pin (DC) 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 (RST_N) is reset signal input. The Reset is active Low.
Note 1.5-4: This pin (BUSY_N) is BUSY_N state output pin. When BUSY_N 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_N 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 (BS) 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.
