SGD 4-bit Connector for Planar EL Panel
Electroluminescent Planar display with parallel discrete SGD 4-bit interface can be connected to
the module via XP4 connector (versions VIM301-04 and VIM301-05 only). Series EL320.240.36
monochrome displays with resolution 320×240 are supported.
SGD 4-bit interface is derived from one of the Flat Panel interfaces depending on the position of
switch 5 at SA2 DIP switch. Source Flat Panel interface signals are processed by Xilinx Spartan2E
FPGA chip. For correct display operation it is necessary to set resolution 640×480 and 18 or 24-bit
mode for Flat Panel 1 or 2 depending on what interface is selected (SA2, switch 5) as a source for
conversion.
For VIM301 generations 2.0 and higher it is possible to set the SGD interface operation mode to
“Monochrome” and “Shades of Gray” using switch #6 of SA2 DIP switch. The latter mode allows to
show color image on a monochrome display by setting the luminance to 0%, 50%, or 100%.
XP4 connector type is Samtec STMM-110-02-G-D-SM-K, recommended mating connector is
Samtec TCSD-10-01. The table below presents the pinout of this connector.
