Hi,

I'm using a 20*2 LCD from CrystalFontz.com with a backlight.=20
Here is the datasheet: =
http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/2002a-wt/CFAH2002AYYHJPV.pdf

Anyway, in the datasheet it says teh supply current is 5mA, but doesn't =
say if
it is the logic, LCD or backlight. Actually it doesn't give much =
information on the
backlight at all.

Can anyone tell me what requires only the 5mA current? Should I just put =
a resister infront of
Vdd for logic, and one infront for the backlight? At the moment, I'm =
using a 5V supply (roughly
5.10) from the computer which has a high current ~8A

Thanks
-Peter
