6.3.2 LCD Display
LCD display panels have a wide range of voltage and data requirements. The BitsyXb has a
number of adjustable voltages to support these requirements, as well as controls for brightness
(backlight) and contrast (passive LCD panels). See section 4.5.5 for further details.

Notes:
7. JP2 selects the display voltage.
8. Total power available depends on system power budget.
9. Systems are configured at the factory with buffers for 3.3 or 5 V panel data. R148 selects
5 V power for the buffers while R137 selects 3.3 V power. 5 V displays with
Vih <= 0.6

Vpnl_pwr (3.0 V) will work reliably with 3.3 V data.
10. PNL_RL is pulled up with R193 or pulled down with R207.
11. PNL_UD is pulled up with R191 or pulled down with R192.
12. Vcon is the low-voltage PWM signal used to control Vee. It can be used directly with some
passive displays to control contrast.
13. Backlight On is an open-collector output. Most backlight inverters include pull-up resistors
on their on/off inputs. The maximum voltage shown is the rating of the BitsyXb output
transistor.
14. The backlight on/off and PWM outputs are driven by the ADSmartIO controller
6.3.3 Touch Panel Controller
The BitsyXb uses touch panel controllers from Burr Brown. It uses the ADS7846 to support four-
wire analog-resistive touch panels and the ADS7845 to support five-wire panels. The system is
factory-configured for use with four-wire panels. All touch-panel signals are ESD and RF
protected. The touch panel controller is powered during sleep mode and can generate an interrupt
to wake the system.
