TM4C129XNCZAD: LCD controller questions

Robert Eschbach

Part Number: TM4C129XNCZAD

My customer is looking at Tiva for a new application.

They've asked a question as below regarding LCD......

We have assumed that if we go for TM4C129XNCZAD then the ‘LCD controller’ module will save some efforts required for Hardware as well as Firmware. Please correct if the assumption is not correct.

Could you please give some brief information about ‘LCD Controller’? Does the microcontroller support library for any specific RGB Graphics LCD?

    Hello Robert,

    The hardware benefits apply if they are using a screen that can leverage support that is offered by the LCD controller. They should review Section 26 of the datasheet for that information, right at the start it lists off the types of LCD's which can benefit from our LCD controller.

    The biggest savings on the firmware side will come if they can leverage our graphics library known as grlib that comes with TivaWare. A good summary document can be found here: www.ti.com/.../spma039a.pdf

    Regarding support for specific LCD's, we have a few drivers included in TivaWare including the Kentac SSD2119 which may meet their criteria. Keep in mind that is TivaWare included support, not something integrated into the MCU, and the MCU will be able to support drivers to the various LCD's that are supported at a hardware level.
