This tutorial shows how to connect and interface 8-bit PIC microcontroller family with LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screens based on HD44780U or compatible controller. Even it is very old, the HD44780U controller or similar is widely used in character type LCD displays which known as 16×2 LCD and 20×4 LCD. A 16×2 (also known as 1602) means that the display has 16 column & 2 rows and it can show up to 32 characters, whereas a 20×4 (also known as 2004) has 20 columns & 4 rows and can show up to 80 characters.
In this post we’ll see how to interface 1602 and 2004 LCDs with different types of Microchip 8-bit PIC microcontrollers, MPLAB XC8 compiler will be used for all examples.
About the HD44780U controller based LCD:
The HD44780U is an integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by Hitachi that is used to control liquid crystal displays (LCDs). It was developed in the 1980s and is still widely used today because of its low cost, versatility, and ease of use.
This type of LCD comes in different sizes depending of number of characters the display can show, the most common types are 16×2 and 20×4.
Some characteristics and features of this type of displays are listed below:
- Character display: The HD44780U controller based LCD modules are primarily designed for displaying alphanumeric characters, symbols, and some other graphical elements.
- Display size: The most popular LCD sizes are the 16×2 (16 characters and 2 lines –> total 32 characters) and 20×4 (20 characters and 4 lines –> total 80 characters), other size are also available such as 16×1…
- Display Interfacing: The HD44780U based display modules typically interface with microcontrollers using either a 4-bit or 8-bit parallel interface. It may be also interfaced using I2C or SPI protocol using another additional module.
- Backlight: Most displays come with integrated backlight LED that improves the visibility in low-light conditions.
- Widely used: Even it is very old type of display (more than 30 years) but it still used in industrial applications, hobbyist and educational projects, instrumentation, consumer electronics…
- Simple Commands: The HD44780U controller based LCD module has a set of very simple commands which makes it very simple to interface with the microcontroller system.
The most popular types of the HD44780 controller display are shown below:
HD44780 Controller LCD pinout:
The 16×2 and 20×4 display modules have the same total number of pins which is 16, they also have the same pinout as described below:
- 1. VSS: Also known as GND (ground), it is ground connection of the LCD module
- 2. VDD: Also known as VCC and it is power supply positive terminal of the module
- 3. V0: Also known as VEE, this pin is used to control the contrast of the display, it is usually connected to a potentiometer or variable resistor output
- 4. RS (Register Select): Selects whether data is being sent to the display is a command (instruction) or a display data. A logic low for command and logic high for display data
- 5. R/W (Read/Write): This pin selects whether data is being read from the display or written to it. Logic high for Read operation and logic low for Write operation. If just write operations are required then this pin could be connected directly to GND
- 6. E (Enable): A pulse input to the enable pin triggers Read/Write operation of the display whatever it is a command or display data
- 7 -10. DB0 to DB3: Four low order bidirectional data pins, used for data transfer between the microcontroller and the LCD. These pins are used only in 8-bit operation and they are not used in 4-bit mode.
- 11-14. DB4 to DB7: Four high order bidirectional data pins, used for data transfer between the microcontroller and the LCD
- 15. A (Anode): This pin is the anode terminal of the backlight LED
- 16. K (Cathode): This is the cathode terminal pin of the backlight LED
Note that the traditional 16×2 and 20×4 LCD modules require power supply with voltage ranging from 4.5V to 5.5V (typically 5V), 3.3V is not sufficient for this type of displays. But when the display is powered with 5V it can read logic high inputs with voltage not less than 2.2V, which means it will work properly with a 3.3V microcontroller if it is supplied with 5 Volts between its VDD and GND pins as what is shown in the example below:

Example 1:
Interfacing PIC16F877A microcontroller with 16×2 LCD:
In the first example, mid-range 8-bit microcontroller PIC16F877A is used. Although more than 20 years is passed from the release of this MCU but it is still in production by Microchip Technology. This microcontroller can run with a maximum clock frequency of 20MHz and achieves 5 MIPS (Million Instruction Per Second). It is very easy to start with which makes it a good choice for beginners who tend to learn PIC microcontrollers, and also it is still used in many application especially educational projects as it contains many integrated peripherals such as:
- 10-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
- 2 x 10-bit PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) outputs
- 1 x USART (Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter)
- 1 x I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
- 1 x SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
- 2 x 8-bit Timers (Timer 0 and Timer 1)
- 1 x 16-bit Timer (Timer 1)
PIC16F877A MCU with 16×2 Connection Circuit diagram:
The image below shows a basic circuit schematic of the example, only few components are required.
As the PIC16F877A microcontroller has no internal oscillator circuit, a crystal oscillator labeled as Y1 with 8MHz is used as a clock source for the microcontroller. The MCLR pin of the microcontroller is connected to +5V through 10k Ohm resistor (R1).
The microcontroller is supplied with 5 Volts where the positive terminal of the power source is connected to VDD pins (#11 & #32) and the negative terminal is connected to VSS pins (#12 & #32).
The LCD used in this example has 2 lines and 16 columns, its connection is as described below:
VDD & VSS pins are power supply pins of the LCD module where VDD is connected to positive terminal of the power supply and VSS is connected to negative terminal.
VEE Pin (also known as V0) of the LCD module is connected to a 10k Ohm variable resistor output (R2). The usage of the variable resistor allows us to easily control the contrast of the LCD display.
RS (Register Select) Pin is connected to pin RD0 of PIC16F877A microcontroller.
RW (Read/Write) Pin is connected to ground.
E (Enable) Pin of the LCD is connected to pin RD1 of the PIC16F877A MCU.
Data pins, D4, D5, D6, & D7 are respectively connected to MCU pins RD2, RD3, RD4, & RD5.
A and K pins of the LCD are backlight LED anode and cathode terminal, they are respectively connected to GND and +5V.

Example 3:
Interfacing PIC18F46K42 microcontroller with 16×2 LCD:

For more information about the Microchip PIC18F46K42 microcontroller just go to its datasheet.
In this example two potentiometer connected to PIC18F46K42 microcontroller, POT 1 and POT 2, where the first potentiometer output is connected to analog channel ANA0 (pin #2) and the second potentiometer output is connected to analog channel ANA1 (pin #3).
The PIC18F46K42 microcontroller has a built-in analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with resolution of 12 bits. This means digital output value varies between 0 and 4095.
Since the ADC positive reference voltage is VDD (+5V) and negative reference voltage is VSS (0V), a 0V applied to an analog channel is represented by a digital value of 0 and +5V is represented by 4095.
The PIC18F46K42 mcu is powered with 5V where the positive terminal of the power source is connected to VDD pins (#11 & #32) and the negative terminal is connected to VSS pins (#12 & #32).

VDD & VSS are power supply pins of the LCD module where VDD is connected to positive terminal of the power supply and VSS is connected to negative terminal.
VEE Pin (also known as V0) of the LCD is connected to a 10k Ohm variable resistor output (R1). The usage of the variable resistor allows us to easily control the contrast of the LCD display.
