stereo line-out interface. If users want to drive speakers, users could follow the
“Advantech SOM-A255x series CSB design guide “to design the audio
amplifier on CSB.
SOM-A255F & SOM-A2552 series supplies CRT-out I/F which resolution
is up to 1024*768. CRT-out function comes from SM501. CRT-out signals are
all analog signals; user must follow the analog signals layout rules.
SOM-A2558 series doesn’t support CRT-out function, but user could
design CRT-out solution IC on CSB to add the function on SOM-A2558
platform. About detail implement way, please check “Advantech SOM-A255x
series CSB design guide “.
SOM-A2552 & SOM-A255F series LCD-out interface comes from SM501.
SOM-A2552 & SOM-A255F LCD-out supports 24 bit and resolution up to
1024*768. SOM-A2552 & SOM-A255F supports both active and passive LCD
displays. SOM-A2558 series LCD-out function comes from SoC PXA255.
SOM-A2558 LCD-out supports 16 bit and resolution up to 800*600.
The LCD signals are 3.3V level in X2. If users’ CSB want to drive 5V level
panel, users could design buffers on CSB to translate LCD signals level. User
could refer “Advantech SOM-A255x series CSB design guide “.
Advantech design LCD brightness control circuit & LCD contrast control
circuit on SOM-A255x series modules. STN LCD panel needs contrast control
signals. In X2, LCD contrast control signals are nVCONR_INC, VCONR_CS
and VCONR_UnD. The control signals are based on DALLAS DS1804 NV
Trimmer Potentiometer to design. Users could check the “Advantech
SOM-A255x series CSB design guide “ to know how to wire. User could check
“to know how to control.
Brightness control signals are used to control the LCD backlight inverter
lamp current. In X2, LCD brightness control signals are nVBRIR_INC,
VBRIR_CS and nVBRIR_UnD. The control signals are based on DALLAS
DS1804 NV Trimmer Potentiometer to design. Users could check the
“Advantech SOM-A255x series CSB design guide “to know how to wire. User
could check appendix about SOM-A255F memory map to know how to control.
If user wants to connect CSB to LVDS type LCD, user could reference
“Advantech SOM-A255x series CSB design guide “to design LVDS
Transmitter on CSB. SOM-A255x series only support 1 channel LVDS LCD
panel.
The sample images of SOM-A2552, SOM-A255F series could support 4
kinds of display modes:
l 320x240 TFT: In SOM-A2552 & SOM-A255F module, user
CAN’T verify the performance by Advantech LCD kit
LCD-A057-STQ1-0. Because SOM-A2552 & SOM-A255F
supports 320x240 TFT mode, but LCD-A057-STQ1-0 is 320x240
STN panel.
l 640x480 TFT: user could verify the performance by Advantech
LCD kit LCD-A064-TTV1-0.
