INTRODUCTION
The S6B0796 is a 240-outputs segment/common driver LSI for graphic dot-matrix liquid crystal display systems. It is fabricated by low power CMOS high voltage process technology. This device consists of 240-bits bi-directional shift register, 240-bits data latch and 240-bits driver. In case of segment mode, the data input is selected 4bit parallel input mode and 8bit parallel input mode by a mode (MD) pin. In case of common mode, data input/output pins are bi-directional, four data shift directions are pin-selectable.

FEATURES
Both Segment Mode and Common Mode

- CMOS silicon gate process (P-type Silicon Substrate)
- Package: 268-pin TCP (Tape Carrier Package) or Gold bumped chip

Segment Mode
- Shift clock frequency: 20MHz (Max) (Vdd=+5V±10%) 12MHz (Max) (Vdd=+2.4V to +4.5V)
- Adopts a data bus system
- 4- / 8-bit parallel input modes are selectable with a mode (MD) pin
- Automatic transfer function of an enable signal
- Automatic counting function which, in the chip select, causes the internal clock to be stopped by automatically counting 240 of input data
- Line latch circuit reset function when DISPOFFB active

Common Mode
- Shift clock frequency: 4.0MHz (Max) (vdd=+2.4V to +5.5V)
- Built-in 240-bits bi-directional shift register (divisible into 120-bits ´2)
- Available in a single mode (240-bits shift register) or in a dual mode (120-bits shift register ´2)
- Shift register circuit reset function when DISPOFFB active
