Note 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 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 5-3: This pin (RST_N) is reset signal input.   The Reset is active Low. 
Note 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 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.
