Name Connector Pins/Type Description
Flat Panel J15 50-pin Shrouded
2mm Header Provides connections for a broad array of
standard flat panel displays.
CRT J17 10-pin Shrouded
.100 Header
Provides connections for a CRT display. To
connect to a standard CRT cable, use a short
“transition cable” to a DB-15 connector. The
pinout for a transition cable is provided below.
ZV Port J16 26-pin 2mm
Header Provides connections for external video
overlay signals.
Connecting a Flat Panel (J15)Signals for a wide range of flat panel displays, both color and gray-scale, appe ar on the Flat Panel
connector. Although flat panels of a similar type use similar sets of signals from the video
controller, these do not share a standardized interface connector pin configuration. The names of
panel control signals vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Read the description of each signal
carefully to determine how each signal is to be used for your chosen display. Refer to the panel
manufacturer’s technical literature to determine how to wire a cable for your chosen panel and
application.
In many applications, the power management functions control the LCD display; for example, in
portable equipment. Furthermore, power and signals must be sequenced at the proper time when
the system is energized to prevent damage to the display. The Little Board P6d video controller
provides power and signal conditioning to meet these requirements. Table 2-31 lists the signals
available on the Flat Panel connector.
