MCUs for industrial LCD systems

10 June 2009 DSP, Micros & Memory

Adding to its portfolio of microcontroller solutions for LCD-based applications, Freescale Semiconductor has introduced the MC9S08LG32 microcontroller (MCU) family for industrial applications. Featuring an integrated LCD driver, the S08LG MCUs are members of Freescale’s L family of 8-bit MCUs, providing cost-effective LCD control solutions for a wide range of industrial and automotive designs.

The S08LG family provides embedded control and user interface solutions for electric metering applications, HVAC controls, digital thermostats, home appliances and exercise equipment. The S08LG devices are also ideal for a wide range of automotive body control applications, such as instrument clusters used in entry-level vehicles for emerging markets.

The 5 V devices offer a range of Flash memory sizes up to 32 KB and package options scaling from 48 to 80 pins. The on-chip LCD driver supports displays with up to 296 segments (8x37 or 4x41 LCD configurations). Flexible LCD module power management configuration helps reduce overall power consumption.

The MCUs are designed to deliver enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance through flexible pin reassignment. Simple software configuration enables any LCD pin to be assigned to the front plane (segment) or to the back plane (common). Flexible front and back plane reassignment simplifies PCB layout and makes it easy to optimise designs for robust EMI performance.
