4 General information This EB057 is an organic LED graphical LCD display designed for E-blocks, which allows a large amount of data to be displayed to help reduce development time or to increase productivity in projects. The display features 128 x 128 pixels totalling at 1684 individually addressable pixels. There is also a maximum of 6556 individual colours available for each pixel and a white backlight to provide maximum display visibility even in low light. Internally it has enough memory to automatically refresh the screen and provide a constant display. Only the pixels that need changing have to be written to the display, therefore decreasing write times and vastly improving refresh and animation performance. 1. Features Backlit LCD display 128 x 128 pixels at a 1:1 ratio Crisp and clear OLED display technology Up to 6555 colours or more programmable font sizes Up to 16 lines of text With up to 21 characters per line E-blocks compatible Compatible with most I/O ports in the E-blocks range (requires 4 I/O lines via 9-way D-type connector) Backlight voltage Graphical LCD +14 volts Voltage regulator.v 8 Patch system Serial In Clock Chip Select Serial Out MCP2S17 I/O Expander Gnd Circuit description The circuit as can be seen on page 6, is made up of four sections: connectors, voltage regulation, SPI I/O expander and.v operation. 1. Connectors The design of this product is to enable you to use it with many standard microcontroller devices. This is achieved by identifying the microcontroller that you are using and which input / output pins are available. It is recommended that you use SPI hardware pins (SDI, SDO, 4 SCK) to drive the Graphical LCD so as to maintain a high speed communication with the I/O expander circuitry. 2. Voltage regulation The EB057 module does not have any inbuilt voltage regulation so care should be taken to ensure that the input voltage on the.v pin does not exceed.v. Note: Allowing a voltage greater than.v to enter the.v pin of the EB057 may cause irreversible! damage to the graphical display module. Copyright Matrix Technology Solutions Ltd.

5 . SPI I/O expander The SPI output expander is a Microchip MCP2S17 device, which is used to control the 12 Graphical LCD control lines. The Flowcode component targets the MCP2S17 device and then uses bit-banging techniques to transfer commands and data onto the Graphical LCD. The SPI pins on your microcontroller device must be routed to the relevant pins on the EB057 to allow the Flowcode component to function correctly. 4..V operation The Graphical LCD E-block is compatible with.v and 5V systems. However, the VPWR line must be between 12V and 18V to power the display s backlight. The I/O of the output expander chip is 5V and.v tolerant.! Note: Allowing a voltage greater than.v to enter the.v pin of the EB057 may cause irreversible damage to the graphical display module. Protective cover Most of the boards in the E-blocks range can be fitted with a plastic cover as an optional extra. These covers are there to protect your E-blocks board therefore extending the life of the board. The covers also prevent the removal of external components while still allowing for the adjustment of applicable parts on the board. 12mm M spacers, anti-slip M nuts and 25mm M bolts can be used to attached the cover to the board. These are not included but can be bought separately from our website. The order code for the EB058 OLED graphical LCD board is EB Copyright Matrix Technology Solutions Ltd.
