Vcc for LCD 16020 Support

Hey guys,

 

I am seeing that the LCD 16020 can operate on either 3.3V or 5V from the datasheet, but I have only seen it successfully run at 5V. To run it at 3.3V, do you have to alter the software to change the contrast? I'm trying to make sure I can have it fully operational at 3.3V before I leave a boost converter off of my PCB for powering the display.

 

Thanks!

All standard 16x2 LCDs need 5V to operate.

Hi

If you are asking about I2C 16x2(1602) LCD Display Module for Arduino(SKU:DFR0063), it can only work on 5V.
