LT7686 display controller characteristics

Below is a brief introduction to the main characteristics for the LT7686 RGB display controller (seen from a software driver design viewpoint).

For information about the LT7686 driver software support please go to the library description.

LT7686 device type

  • COG RGB color display controller for use in small embedded systems with on-chip frame buffer and TFT screen driver.
  • The LT7686 supports TFT screens with a size up to 1280 x 1024 pixels (WxH)
  • On-chip TFT driver with voltage generator

Frame buffer

  • RGB pixel resolution (bits per pixel): 8-bit, 16-bit, 24 bit.
  • LT7686 frame buffer organization: 1280 RGB pixels on scan line, 1024 lines.

Processor interfaces on LT7686

  • LT7686 parallel bus interface
    • Parallel bus types: 8080 bus type and 6800 bus type
    • Parallel bus size: 8-bit, 16-bit.
    • Addressing concept: Indexed bus interface (1 chip select pin + 1 address bit pin (Data/Command))
  • Serial bus interfaces on LT7686
    • SPI bus: 3-wire: /CS, SDIN, SCLK. SPI-3 SPI-4 is separate MOSI and MISO lines. Address is specified as first SPI byte.
