Description

Hitachi HD44780 LCD Controller Driver unit

The Hitachi HD44780 is a dot matrix liquid crystal display controller. It supports 5x8 or 5x10 characters and includes a 240 character font in ROM, 80 bytes of character RAM and 64 bytes of character generator RAM for custom characters.

The device support 4 bit or 8 bit modes, and has a range of standard functions for display clear, display on/off, cursor on/off, character blink, cursor shift etc.

This unit creates a Console device to represent the LCD and provides the standard console device functions (where appropriate) to draw text, clear the screen, scroll text and manage the cursor.

Currently only 4 bit mode is supported but extension to include 8 bit mode is possible with some additional setup and support functions.
