add an external extra 128KB Flash memory and LCD or OLED with MSP430F5528 MCU

1.   I  want  to add  an external  extra  128KB  Flash memory  on MSP430F5528  MCU based board ,  can  somebody  guide  a circuit  schematics to perform this ?

2.   Also want  to connect   40X8  or 20X16 segment  LCD or  OLED  with  MSP430F5528  MCU .    Which   LCD, OLED  product  is  simple&easy to  implement  display system ?    

Thanks  in advance.    

  • Stanley,

    there are different ways to connect external peripherals to the MSP. Most of them will be connected via a serial connection like SPI or I²C. Some use parallel interface. If I was you I would look for a SPI interfaced one (or I²C). Regarding the LCD it depends if you want to use a type with integrated controller or if the MSP shall do the job. The ones with internal controllers will reduce the amount of work you have to do yourself. Graphical displays normally use a serial interface, too. The ASCII ones, like all the HD44780 compatible, use a parallel interface. In 8 bit mode these have a major advantage: You can write the ASCII char directly to a port. Ideal for beginners, but no chance to display graphics, of course.

  • Thanks much Dennis.

    I will look for SPI type 128KB Flash memory and serial OLED Unit.
