- RoHS: RoHS compliance is expected.
4. Application Guidelines & Critical Notes
- Power Supply: The module requires a 2.8V (Typ.) power supply for VCC and 1.8V (Typ.) for IOVCC. Ensure the power supply ripple is minimized.
- Interface: This module uses a MIPI DSI interface (1 or 2 data lanes). The host processor must have a MIPI DSI controller capable of driving this interface.
- Backlight Driver (External): An external constant current driver is required to supply a typical current of 160mA at a forward voltage of 3V.
- Touch Panel (External): The integrated CTP requires an IIC interface from the host processor. The VDD for the CTP is typically 3.3V.
- Reset: A hardware reset pin (RESET, Pin 8) is provided. A reset pulse 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).
