Aim: - In this documentation we would look after the interface of the LCD module JHD 162A (2x16 character display LCD) with AT89C2051. Circuit diagram: -

Figure1. LCD interface diagram with AT89C2051 Theory: - The LCD module has the following pins 1) Pin 1: VSS (Ground) 2) Pin 2: VCC (+5V supply) 3) Pin 3: LCD contrast adjustment 4) Pin 4: RS (instruction or data selection) 5) Pin 5: R/W (Read / write selection) 6) Pin 6: Enable 7) Pin 7 to Pin 14: DB0 to DB7 (data bits) 8) Pin 15: LED+ 9) Pin 16: LEDAccording to the data sheet as soon as the circuit is powered on, the microcontroller should wait for 15ms for display. Sequence of execution for 8051: 1) Command/ data 2) Clear RS / set RS 3) Clear R/W 4) Set E 5) Delay 6) Clear E 7) Delay 8) Go to step one OR 1) Check if the display is busy

2) Command/ data 3) Clear RS / set RS 4) Clear R/W 5) Set E 6) Clear E 7) Go to step one Initialization sequence: 1) 0x38 2) 0x0E 3) 0x01 4) 0x06 Command to LCD Instruction Register 1 Clear display screen 2 Return Home 4 Decrement cursor (shift cursor to left) 5 Increment cursor (shift cursor to right) 6 shift display right 7 shift display left 8 Display off, cursor off A Display off, cursor on C Display on, cursor off E Display on, cursor blinking F Display on, cursor blinking 10 Shift cursor position to left 14 Shift cursor position to right 18 Shift the entire display to the left 1C Shift the entire display to the right 80 Force cursor to the beginning of 1st line C0 Force cursor to the beginning of 2nd line 38 2 lines and 5 x 7 matrix
