PCF8536
Universal LCD low multiplex driver with 6 channel PWM generator
8.5.2 1:6 Multiplex drive mode
When six backplanes are provided in the LCD, the 1:6 multiplex drive mode applies. The
PCF8536 allows use of 1⁄3 bias or 1⁄4 bias in this mode as shown in Figure 16 and
Figure 17. These waveforms are drawn for the case of line inversion (see
Section 8.1.4.2).
