SMBus I/O Expander Controls LCD Bias Voltage
Abstract: A circuit consisting of an SMBus I/O expander, step-up converter, and digital potentiometer
enables the SMBus to control the contrast of an LCD.
Small, handheld, battery-powered devices often feature an LCD panel and a microcontroller with limited I/O
pins. The SMBus is useful for controlling system functions under limited I/O and, for convenience, it should also
be able to control the LCD contrast. In Figure 1, this task is accomplished with an SMBus I/O expander (IC2), a
step-up converter (IC1), and a digital potentiometer (IC3).
