HD44780UElectrical Characteristics Notes 1. All voltage values are referred to GND = 0 V. VCC B V1 A = V The conditions of V1 and V5 voltages are for proper CC –V5 A B = V operation of the LSI and not for the LCD output level. CC –V1 A 1.5 V ≥ The LCD drive voltage condition for the LCD output B 0.25 V5 ≤ × A level is specified as LCD voltage VLCD. 2. V ≥ V1 ≥ V2 ≥ V3 ≥ V4 ≥ V5 must be maintained. CC 3. For die products, specified at 75°C. 4. For die products, specified by the die shipment specification. 5.
