PIC32 Graphics Solutions
Low-Cost Controllerless (LCC) Graphics PICtail Plus
Daughter Board (AC164144)
The Low-Cost Controllerless (LCC)
Graphics PICtail Plus Daughter Board
enables development of graphics
solutions without an external graphics
controller, reducing system BOM cost
for many applications. The board is
designed to attach to a PIC32 starter kit (DM320001,
DM320003-2, DM320004) or an Explorer 16 development
board (DM240001) and one of Microchip LCD Modules
including the Truly 3.2" QVGA board and the 4.3" WQVGA
Powertip display panel.
Key Features:
■ Can drive QVGA 8 bpp with PIC32 alone
■ Can drive WQVGA 16 bpp with external 256 KB SRAM
Frame buffer
■ Display connector for interfacing with different
display boards
■ PICtail Plus Interface for connecting to Explorer 16
development board
■ Starter kit connector
Graphics LCD Controller PICtail Plus SSD1926
Board (AC164127-5)
The Graphics LCD Controller PICtail Plus
SSD1926 Board is a demonstration board
for evaluating Microchip Technology’s
graphic display solution and graphics
library for 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers.
It is an expansion board compatible
with the Explorer 16 development
board (DM240001) or one of the PIC32 starter boards
(DM320001, DM320003). The controller board has a
connection for the display boards, such as the Graphics
Display Truly 3.2", 240 × 320 Board (AC164127-4).
Key Features:
■ Graphics display controller: Solomon Systech SSD1926
supporting 4/8-bit STN, 4/8-bit CSTN, 18-bit HR-TFT,
and 9/12/18/24-bit TFT interface
■ SD/MMC socket, connected to SSD1926 via
4-wire interface
■ 16 Megabit (2M × 8) serial fl ash memory for additional
data storage
■ Display connector for interfacing with different
display boards
■ PICtail Plus Interface for connecting to Explorer 16
development board
■ PIC32 Starter Kit connector
Graphics PICtail Plus Epson S1D13517 Board
(AC164127-7)
The Graphics Controller PICtail Plus
Epson S1D13517 Board is used to
evaluate Microchip Technology’s graphic
display solution and graphics library
for 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers.
The Epson S1D13517 offers
hardware acceleration for alpha-blending, transparency,
animation, multiple buffering, and picture-in-picture.
The kit is compatible with the Explorer 16 development
board (DM240001) or one of the PIC32 Starter Boards
(DM320001, DM320003).
Key Features:
■ Support for VGA, WVGA, QVGA, WQVGA displays
■ Alpha blending
■ Support for 24 bpp
■ Touch interface
■ 128 megabit (8M × 16) SDRAM for frame buffering
■ 64 MB serial Flash memory for additional data storage
PIC32 GUI Development Board with Projected
Capacitive Touch (DM320015)
The PIC32 GUI Development Board
with Projected Capacitive Touch
enables the development of cost-
effective multi-touch graphical user
interfaces. It provides USB host
and device connectivity and supports I/O connections via
through-hole pads for custom board attachment. Multi-
touch user input is supported by Microchip’s Turnkey
Projected Capacitive Touch Controller, MTCH6301. The
board is a standalone development platform that can be
programmed/debugged via the on-board 5-pin in-circuit
serial programmer interface designed for Microchip’s
PICkit™ 3 In-Circuit Debugger.
Key Features:
■ Based on PIC32MX795F512 device with 512 KB Flash
and 128 KB RAM
■ Projected capacitive touch controller MTCH6301
■ WQVGA 4.3" display
■ USB port for Device or Host functionality
■ Expansion header
• Access to PIC32 I/Os and peripherals
