Note 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. 
2.13inch e-Paper Specification第 5 页,共 43 页
Note  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 5-3: This pin (RES#) is reset signal input. The Reset is active Low. 
Note 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 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.
