1 Introduction
The display adapters LCD-014-x and LCD-017-x belong to a series of
add-on modules for PHYTEC’s Single Board Computers. These add-
on modules allow easy development of complex applications with off-
the-shelf components.
PHYTEC Display Adapters LCD-014-x and LCD-017-x are
compatible to the PHYTEC Display-Interface (PDI) which consists of
two universal connectors on the PHYTEC Carrier Board. The display
data connector (40 pin FCC connector, 0,5mm pitch) combines
various interface signals like LVDS, USB, I
2
C, etc. required to hook
up a display and a touch screen. The display power connector (AMP
microMatch 8-188275-2) provides all supply voltages needed to
supply the display and a backlight.
Because of featuring the PDI the PHYTEC Display Adapters
LCD-014-x and LCD-017-x are interchangeable and the same SBC /
Carrier Board combination might serve for different applications just
by changing the adapter board and the software.
Figure 1
depicts the usage of the PHYTEC Display Adapters together
with the modular concept of the phyCARD Development Kit.
The PHYTEC Display Adapters LCD-014-x and LCD-017-x are
insert-ready and provide connectivity to displays of different size and
resolution, as well as to corresponding touch panels.
Precise specifications for the display populating the display adapter
can be found in the applicable datasheet.
Software support for the display adapters is included within the latest
BSPs available for the different phyCARD SBCs.
