ST7586 display driver library

The ST7586 and ST7586S display controllers are supported by the RAMTEX UC1611 display driver library package.
Full GUI display driver code. Processor and C compiler independent C source code.

ST7586 display controller characteristics

Below is a brief introduction to the main characteristics for the ST7586 Grey-level display controller (seen from a software driver design viewpoint).

For information about the ST7586 driver software support please go to the library description.

ST7586 device type

• Grey-level color display controller for use in small embedded systems with on-chip frame buffer and LCD screen driver.
• The ST7586 supports LCD screens with a size up to 384 x 160 pixels (WxH)
• On-chip LCD driver with voltage generator and software controlled LCD contrast regulation.

Frame buffer

• Grey-level pixel resolution (bits per pixel): 2 bit.
• ST7586 frame buffer organization: 384 Grey-level pixels on scan line, 160 lines.
• Frame buffer storage use horizontal storage units with 3 pixels.

Processor interfaces on ST7586

• ST7586 parallel bus interface

  • Parallel bus types: 8080 bus type and 6800 bus type
  • Parallel bus size: 8-bit.
  • Addressing concept: Indexed bus interface (1 chip select pin + 1 address bit pin (Data/Command))

• Serial bus interfaces on ST7586

  • SPI bus: 4-wire: /CS, CD, SDIN, SCLK.
  • SPI bus: 3-wire: /CS, SDIN, SCLK. SPI-3 uses a 9 bit byte frame where first bit is CD
• The bus interfaces are all supported by the ST7586 display driver software package.

Special ST7586 hardware features:

• 0-180, 90-270 degree frame buffer rotation with hardware support
• Support for screen driver contrast regulation in hardware.
• Full driver software support.
