New tools enable larger GUIs
The Epson S1D13517 Graphics Controller PICtail Plus Daughter Board is based upon the Epson S1D13517 controller, featuring an 18-/24-bit Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) interface that is supported by 128Mbit external SDRAM, and enables up to 24-bit-per-pixel color depth.
This low-cost SDRAM also supports multiple-frame-buffering, alpha-blending and picture-in-picture capabilities.
The board also includes 64Mbit serial Flash memory for additional non-volatile storage, as well as connectors for an easy interface with different display boards, and Microchip’s Explorer 16 Development Board, and PIC32 Starter Kit.
The Epson S1D13517 Graphics Controller board, and the 5.7” VGA and 7” WVGA boards, along with Microchip’s free graphics library, provide the key building blocks for bringing vivid, photo-quality user interfaces to market.
