WH1602J is a 16x2 character small/medium LCD module featuring a built-in ST7066 controller IC. Its default configuration supports the 6800 4/8-bit parallel interface. The module is also available with SPI and I2C interfaces by using the RW1063 controller IC, offering flexible integration options for various applications.
The WH1602J series has a default operating voltage of 5V, with an optional 3V configuration. When operating at 3V, the negative voltage must also be limited to 3V, which should be considered in system power design.
This small to medium LCD module is available in a variety of LED backlight colors, including blue, green, white, yellow-green, amber, and red. The LED backlight can be powered via PIN1, PIN2, PIN15, PIN16, or A/K terminals depending on the circuit design.
The ST7066 IC supports multiple character font versions, including English/Japanese, English/Western European, English/Scandinavian European, English/Cyrillic (Russian), and Hebrew/Arabic, providing excellent localization flexibility.
