Eurotech Appliances PXA255 Flat panel display support

VIPER Technical Manual	Detailed hardware description

Flat panel display support

The PXA255 processor contains an integrated LCD display controller that permits 1, 2 and 4-bit grey-scale, and 8 or 16-bit colour pixels. A 256-byte palette RAM provides flexible colour mapping capabilities. The LCD display controller supports active (TFT) and passive (STN) LCD displays.

The PXA255 can drive displays with a resolution up to 800x600, but as the PXA255 has a unified memory structure, the bandwidth to the application decreases significantly. If the application makes significant use of memory, such as when video is on screen, you may also experience FIFO under-run to the LCD causing the frames rates to drop or display image disruption. Reducing the frame rate to the slowest speed possible gives the maximum bandwidth to the application. The display quality for an 800x600 resolution LCD is dependant on the compromises that can be made between the LCD refresh rate and the application. The PXA255 is best suited to 320x240 and 640x480 resolution displays.

A full explanation of the graphics controller operation can be found in the PXA255 data sheets included on the support CD.

The flat panel data and control signals are routed to PL3. See the section PL3 343H– LCD connector, page 88 344H, for pin assignment and part number details.

The VIPER-FPIF1 allows the user to easily wire-up a new panel using pin and crimp

style connectors. Contact Eurotech Ltd (see Appendix 51H52H345HA – Contacting Eurotech , page

101 346H) for purchasing information.

A list of proven Flat Panel displays is included on the VIPER 53Hproduct page . Click on the Flat Panel Display Options tab for up-to-date details.

The following tables provide a cross-reference between the flat panel data signals and their function when configured for different displays.
