EPSON SPECIFCATIONS PAGE 17 III-C. Terminal Descriptions Terminal I/O Function VDD I Power Supply (+5 V +-5 %) VSS I Power Supply ( 0 V) _____ RESET Signal Input RESET I Active-Low input for initializtion (When RESET signal is supplied, the controller LSI is reset to the following status.) DISPLAY: off, CURSOR: off, CURSOR FONT: off, UNDERLINE CURSOR: blinking off CURSOR DIRECTION: increment DISPLAY SUPRESS : off For RESET signal in detail, refer to "Reset Signal (P. 10)". (Note) This terminal has a built-in pull-up resistor (= 500 kohm). A0 I Selection of Character Code Input/ Instruction Code Input A0 = "1": Character Code Input A0 = "0": Instruction Code Input ENB I Clock Input External system clock input For clock signal in detail, refer "Clock Signal (P. 10)". __ Busy Flag Read Signal Input RD I __ RD = active "0" When RD is low, master processor can read status of Busy Flag register. __ Data Write Signal Input WR I __ WR = active "0" When WR is low, master processor can write Character Code or Instruction Code to the module. D0 - D7 I Data Input I/O (D7) MSB = "D7" LSB = "D0" D7 is a I/O terminal, and outputs Busy signal when executing Busy Flag instruction. D7 = "1": Busy D7 = "0": Not Busy
