Introduction

 This presentation includes what LCD is and how

to interface LCD with AVR microcontroller
Atmega32 using 8-bit mode.
 What is the basic difference between 8-bit mode
and 4-bit mode?
 How to write code for LCD interfacing in C
language and what are the basic commands
used for LCD programming.
 It also includes how to program LCD and sends
command/ data to LCD.
Hardware requirements:
 Atmega32 ic
 16x2 lcd display
 Breadboard
 8Mhz crystal oscillator
 Power supply

Software requirements:
 AVR studio 4
 Proteus 7
WHAT IS LCD?
 LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display, is an
electronic device which is used for data display.
 LCDs are preferable over seven segments and
LEDs as they can easily represent data in form of
alphabets, characters, numbers or animations.
 LCDs are very easy to program and make your
work quite attractive and simple.
 Numerous types of LCDs are available in market
such as 16X2, 16X4, 20X2, 20X4, graphical LCDs
(128X64) etc.
 The LCD which we are using is 16X2
alphanumeric LCD, it display 32 characters in two
rows means in one row we have 16 characters.
PIN DESCRIPTION OF LCD
 16X2 LCD can interface with AVR microcontroller
by using two modes, 4-bit mode or 8-bit mode.
 Here we will use 8-bit mode for interfacing.
 In 8-bit mode we send command to LCD by
using eight data lines (D0-D7) while in 4-bit
mode we use four data lines (D5-D7) for sending
command and data.
 These data lines can be connected to any port of
Atmega32.

HOW TO PROGRAM LCD?

 Basically there are two registers, command

and data. When we are giving command
to LCD, we select command register and
when we are sending data to LCD for
display, we select data register.
 Command is an instruction given to LCD
in order to perform required function
according to the given command.
 In order to display textual information,
data is send to LCD.
SENDING COMMANDS ON LCD

 For sending commands on LCD we have to write

command on data pins. For this, selects:
 RS = 0 >> selects command register
 RW = 0 >> selects write operation
 E>> make enable pin from high to low
SENDING DATA ON LCD
 For sending data on LCD we have to write data
on data pins. For this, selects:
 RS = 1 >> selects data register
 RW = 0 >> selects write operation
 E >> make enable pin from high to low
