PCF8533
Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates
The acknowledgement after each byte is made only by the (A0, A1, and A2) addressed
PCF8533. After the last (display) byte, the I2C-bus master asserts a STOP condition (P).
Alternatively a START may be asserted to RESTART an I2C-bus access.
8.2 Command decoder
The command decoder identifies command bytes that arrive on the I2C-bus. The five
commands available to the PCF8533 are defined in Table 9.
