In order to reduce the number of switching transitions, a low power mode is defined. This mode is enabled by configuring LCDLP field to 1. The following figure depicts the switch controls in the low power mode. In this example, LCDMX is set to 2. As can be seen from the diagram, in low power mode, each of the switch controls, are driven high for half an LCD frame and driven low for half an LCD frame. However, when LCDLP is configured as 0, the switch controls toggle every CLKLCD. By reducing the number of toggles on the switch controls in a given LCD frame, the power consumption could be reduced.
The resultant waveforms in on common, segment lines are shown in the figure below (LCDMX = 2, 1/4 bias mode). As can be seen, the number of transitions in one LCD frame is less in the low power mode. The benefit increases at higher mux levels.
