3.5 Design Notes from Documentation

  • Power Supply: The module requires VCC (2.5V to 6.6V) and IOVCC (1.65V to 3.6V) power supplies. Ensure the power supply ripple is minimized and the sequencing requirements are met.
  • Interface: This module uses a standard MIPI DSI protocol. The host processor must be configured for this protocol.
  • Backlight Driver (External): An external boost converter and constant current driver are required to supply the backlight.
  • Reset: A hardware reset is required. The reset pulse must be at least 20 µs low, with a 5 ms release time before initialization.
  • Frame Rate: The document specifies frame rate adaptation recommendations for different data lane configurations.
  • Operating Temperature: The module operates from -20°C to +70°C. Satisfactory display performance is only guaranteed within this range.
  • Storage: Store the module in a clean environment, free from dust, moisture, and direct sunlight. Storage temperature range is -30°C to +80°C.
  • Handling Precautions: Handle the module with care to avoid damage to the glass or FPC. Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
