An LCD 1602 (162) character display without an I2C module utilizes a parallel interface powered by the Hitachi HD44780 controller chip. It features 16 bare pins that connect directly to your microcontroller. It is typically operated in 4-bit mode to reduce the required microcontoller pins from 11 down to 6 GPIO control/data pins.Standard 16-Pin Assignment
| Pin | Name | Description | Connection Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS | Ground | Ground (GND) |
| 2 | VDD/VCC | Power Supply (+5V) | 5V Power |
| 3 | V0 | Contrast Adjustment | Potentiometer center wiper pin |
| 4 | RS | Register Select | Microcontroller GPIO (e.g., Pin 12) |
| 5 | R/W | Read/Write | Ground (GND) for Write mode |
| 6 | E | Enable Clock | Microcontroller GPIO (e.g., Pin 11) |
| 7-10 | D0-D3 | Low Data Bits | Left disconnected in 4-bit mode |
| 11 | D4 | High Data Bit 4 | Microcontroller GPIO (e.g., Pin 5) |
| 12 | D5 | High Data Bit 5 | Microcontroller GPIO (e.g., Pin 4) |
| 13 | D6 | High Data Bit 6 | Microcontroller GPIO (e.g., Pin 3) |
| 14 | D7 | High Data Bit 7 | Microcontroller GPIO (e.g., Pin 2) |
