Overview
A LCD display is made of several segments (or complete symbols) which can be visible or invis-
ible. A segment has two electrodes with liquid crystal between them. These electrodes are the
common terminal (COM) and the segment terminal (SEG). When a voltage above a threshold
voltage is applied across the liquid crystal, the segment becomes visible. The voltage must alter-
nate to avoid an electrophoresis effect in the liquid crystal, this effect degrades the display.
Hence the voltage waveform across a segment must not have a DC-component.

Figure 39-1. LCD Segment/Common Terminals
The LCD controller (LCDCA) is intended for monochrome passive liquid crystal display (LCD)
with up to 4 common terminals and up to 40 segment terminals. Unused segment/common ter-
minals (pins) are configured as general purpose I/O pins.The LCD controller uses a 32kHz clock
(CLK_LCD) and can therefore be running in deep sleep modes.
