Customer Point of View

• You spend a lot of money creating and maintaining a graphical user

interface…or you should.

‒ Good interface = lower customer support

‒ Good interface = increased customer loyalty

‒ Good interface = large goodwill asset

‒ Good interface = investment

‒ Bad interface = waste of effort, waste of time, waste of money

• Once you get the UI right,

‒ It is not going to change.

‒ It will proliferate.

• UI can become one of the ultimate bugs in an application.

Key Differentiating Features for Freescale

• Fewer pins required to drive LCD segments − 32 pins required for 192 segments in 8x24 mode

− 28 pins required for 160 segments in 8x20 mode

− 17 pins required for 104 segments in 8x13 mode

• Front and back plane re-assignment − Software selectable frontplane/backplane Board layout an easier task and very flexible for changes

• Internal charge pump provides all voltages required to power up LCD glass − Internal software selectable regulated power supply that keeps constant voltage

across LCD glass to avoid degradation

− Our portfolio of segment LCD controllers allows 4 bits resolution trim to adjust contrast control

• Security Features − Segment Fault Detection capability

• Low power blinking mode − Blinking provides a method to reduce power consumption, in standby modes.

− ALT BLINK mode allows MCU to save more power – stay in STOP mode longer.

Kinetis K40 Family- ARM® Cortex™-M4

• Flexible, low-power LCD controller

− Supports for up to 320 segments (40x8 or 44x4)

− LCD blink mode enables low average power while remaining in low power mode

− Segment fail detect guards against erroneous readouts and reduces LCD test costs

− Frontplane/backplane reassignment provides pin-out flexibility, easing PCB design and allows LCD configuration changes via firmware with no hardware re-work

− Supports multiple 3V and 5V LCD panel sizes with fewer segments (pins) than competitive controllers and no external components

− Unused LCD pins can be configured as other GPIO functions

− Modern touch sensing user interfaces with low power support for device wake-up from touch
