[0017] This embodiment provides an interface circuit for a silicon-based OLED IC. The interface circuit includes a user interface and an IC circuit. The IC circuit includes an interface signal conversion module and an IC communication interface. The user interface is connected to the IC communication interface through the interface signal conversion module. The user interface includes 5 pins.
[0018] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the IC communication interface in this embodiment includes SPI, IIC, and UART communication interfaces, and the five pins are connected to the SPI, IIC, and UART communication interfaces through the interface signal conversion module.
[0019] The interface signal conversion module of this embodiment includes an OR gate, an XOR gate, and an AND gate. The five pins are respectively connected to the SPI, IIC, and UART communication interfaces through the OR gate, XOR gate, and AND gate.
[0020] This embodiment of the silicon-based OLED IC uses the most basic SPI, I2C, and UART communication interfaces, requiring no modification to the underlying circuitry of each communication interface. Only an interface signal conversion module, including one OR gate, one XOR gate, and one AND gate, needs to be added to the IC circuit to achieve 5-pin compatibility with SPI, I2C, and UART functions. The 5 pins are designed based on the time-division multiplexing principle as follows:
[0021] PIN1 input: represents CS0, the first chip select signal;
[0022] PIN2 input: indicates CS1, the second chip select signal;
[0023] PIN3 input / output: Indicates SDA / SDI / RX, connected to the SDI terminal of the SPI communication interface; the SDA terminal of the IIC communication interface; and the RX terminal of the UART communication interface.
[0024] PIN4 input: Indicates SCLK / SCL, connected to the SCLK terminal of the SPI communication interface; or the SCL terminal of the IIC communication interface.
[0025] PIN5 output: Indicates SDO / TX, connected to the SDO terminal of the SPI communication interface; or the TX terminal of the UART communication interface.
[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first input terminal of the OR gate is connected to PIN1, the second input terminal of the OR gate is connected to PIN2, and the output terminal of the OR gate is connected to the CS terminal of the SPI communication interface; the SDI terminal of the SPI communication interface is connected to PIN3; the SCLK terminal of the SPI communication interface is connected to PIN4; and the SDO terminal of the SPI communication interface is connected to PIN5.
[0027] The first input terminal of the XOR gate is connected to PIN1, the second input terminal of the XOR gate is connected to PIN2, and the output terminal of the XOR gate is connected to the RST_N terminal of the IIC communication interface; the SDA terminal of the IIC communication interface is connected to PIN3; and the SCL terminal of the IIC communication interface is connected to PIN4.

[0029] Based on the above structure, the working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0030] ① When both PIN1 and PIN2 are input at a low level, the CS signal output after CS0 and CS1 pass through the OR gate is at a low level, and the SPI communication interface is working at this time; the RST_N of the IIC and UART communication interfaces is in a low-level reset state, and the IIC and UART communication interfaces are not working; at this time, PIN3 = SDI; PIN4 = SCLK; PIN5 = SDO;
[0031] ② When either PIN1 or PIN2 is high, the RST_N signal of the IIC communication interface is output high after CS0 and CS1 pass through the XOR gate, and the IIC communication interface is working at this time; the CS signal of the SPI communication interface is high, and the RST_N of the UART communication interface is in a low-level reset state, and the SPI and UART communication interfaces are not working; at this time, PIN3 = SDA; PIN4 = SCL; the specific value of PIN5 is not considered.
[0032] ③ When both PIN1 and PIN2 are high, CS0 and CS1, after passing through the AND gate, output a high level for the RST_N signal of the UART communication interface, at which point the UART communication interface is working; the CS signal of the SPI communication interface is high, and the RST_N of the IIC communication interface is in a low-level reset state, so the IIC and UART communication interfaces are not working; at this time, PIN3 = RX; the specific value of PIN4 is not considered; PIN5 = TX;
[0033] This invention provides an interface circuit for a silicon-based OLED IC that achieves compatibility with IIC, SPI, and UART communication interfaces without altering the underlying circuitry. Furthermore, it reduces the number of interface pins from the original eight to five, thereby meeting the communication interface requirements of different customers.
