The display signals are +3.3V compatible; the VIPER contains power control circuitry
for the flat panel logic supply and backlight supply. The flat panel logic is supplied with
a switched 3.3V (default) or 5V supply, see section
LCD Supply Voltage – LK8 on JP2
page
for details. The backlight is supplied with a switched 5V supply for the
inverter.
There is no on-board protection for these switched supplies! Care must be
taken during power up/down to ensure the panel is not damaged due to the
input signals being incorrectly configured.
