3.5 Design Notes from Documentation

  • B/L Driver: The backlight driving condition is IF=100mA, Vf=2.7-3.4V (TYP).
  • Interface: This module uses an RGB interface for pixel data and a 3-line Serial Interface for command/register configuration. The serial interface is used for setting up the module (e.g., resolution, orientation).
  • Reset: The RESET pin (Pin 11) must be applied to properly initialize the chip.
  • Serial Interface Note: In the read sequence of the serial interface, a 500ns delay time is needed between the read command and the first read clock.
  • Touch Pins: Pins 35-40 are designated for touch panel interface but are listed as NC (No Connection) for this module variant.

4. Application Guidelines & Critical Notes

  • Power Supply: The module requires a 2.4V to 3.3V supply for VCC and 1.65V to 3.3V for IOVCC. Ensure the power supply ripple is minimized.
  • Interface: This module uses a standard RGB Interface protocol for video data and a Serial Interface for configuration. The host processor must be configured for these protocols.
  • Backlight Driver (External): An external constant current driver is required to supply the backlight via the LEDA and LEDK pins. The required driving condition is 100mA total current at 2.7V to 3.4V forward voltage.
  • Reset: A hardware reset pin (RESET, Pin 11) is provided. It must be applied to properly initialize the chip.
  • Handling Precautions: Handle the module with care to avoid damage to the glass or FPC. Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
  • Initialization: After power up, the serial interface command `Sleep Out` must not be sent for at least 120ms after reset.
