Control Interface
The Color LCD module has a built-in controller IC with a multi-mode parallel interface. The
development board uses an 8-bit 8080 type interface with GPIO Port D providing the data bus.
Table 2-4 shows the LCD-related signals.
Backlight
The white LED backlight must be powered for the display to be clearly visible. U7 (FAN5331B)
implements a 20 mA constant-current LED power source to the backlight. The backlight is not
normally controlled by the microcontroller, however, the control signal is available on a header. A
jumper may be installed to disable the backlight by connecting it to GND. Alternatively, a wire may
be used to control this signal from a spare microcontroller GPIO line.
Because the FAN5331B operates in a constant current mode, its output voltage will jump up if the
LCD should become disconnected. To prevent over-voltage failure of the IC or diode D3, a zener
(D4) clamps the voltage. The current will limit to 20 mA, but the total board current will be higher
than when the LCD panel is connected. To avoid over-heating the backlighting circuit, install the
BLON jumper to completely shut-down the backlighting circuit.
Power
The LCD module has internal bias voltage generators and requires only a single 3.3 V dc supply.
Resistive Touch Panel
The 4-wire resistive touch panel interfaces directly to the microcontroller, using 2 ADC channels
and 2 GPIO signals. See the StellarisWare™ source code for additional information on touch panel
implementation.
