4.3.8.1 LCD Module
The LCD module gets reset from the NRST signal. As explained, this NRST is shared with the JTAG port
and the push-button BP1. The LCD chip select signal is connected to NCS1; the jumper JP13 can dis-
connect it so that this PIO line is available for other custom usage.
The SAM4SD32 communicates with the LCD through PIOC where an 8-bit parallel “8080-like” protocol
data bus has to be implemented in software.

4.3.8.2 Backlight Control
The LCD backlight is made of four integrated white chip-LEDs arranged in parallel. These are driven by
an AAT3155 charge pump, MN8. The AAT3155 is controlled by the SAM4SD32 through a single PIO
line PC13 interface; the 0 Ohm resistor R68 is mounted in series on this line, which permits to use it for
other custom purposes. In that case, the pull-up resistor R64 maintains the charge pump permanently
enabled by default.
On the anode drive line, a 0 Ohm resistor R59 is implemented in series for an optional current limitation.
