  Dontronics :: Micro VGA :: 4d-Micro-VGA-Picaso-MD1 (Plus MD1-UB, this is two matching boards)

    4d-Micro-VGA-Picaso-MD1 (Plus MD1-UB, this is two matching boards) #16683
4d-Micro-VGA-Picaso-MD1 (Plus MD1-UB, this is two matching boards)  Prices | Support | Download

Some pictures below show the µVGA-PICASO-MD1 module mated with the µVGA-PICASO-MD1-UB motherboard.
Price is for the µVGA-PICASO-MD1 and the  µVGA-PICASO-MD1-UB motherboard together. Two boards.
Sorry, currently we don't sell these boards individually.

Product Features
The µVGA-PICASO-MD1 module is aimed at being integrated into a variety of different applications using a wealth of features designed to facilitate the designer  to quickly and cost effectively complete a product and thus reduce ‘time to market’. These features are as follows:
- Intelligent and fully integrated VGA/SVGA Display Graphics Controller.
- Tiny 28 pin module, powered by the 4D LABS PICASO chip. A powerful DSP/Controller based multi purpose graphics engine.
- Low Power design. 3.0Volts to 3.6Volts input supply @90ma.
- 256 Colours with standard resolution modes for QVGA (320x240), VGA (640x480) and SVGA (800x600, to be implemented in the near future). The µVGA-PICASO-MD1 supports multiple resolutions with in the same module. Resolutions are selectable during run time under host control. Resizable viewing window allows partial/full screen control.
- The digital video signals, RED0:RED2, GREEN0:GREEN2, BLUE1:BLUE2, HSYNC, VSYNC and BLANK(R,G,B), facilitate using a simple Resistor-DAC to drive any standard VGA monitor.
- 512K bytes of onboard SRAM for video memory allows 8 pages for QVGA, 2 pages for VGA and 1 page for SVGA resolutions. Utilising the multiple pages allows double buffering which can be used for smooth animations and windowing of menu systems.
- RX and TX signals (TTL levels) provide a simple serial host interface. The serial interface allow the µVGA-PICASO-MD1 graphics module to be connected to any host controller such as a PIC, AVR, STAMP, ARM, Propeller just to name a few as well as a PC. The host controls the module by sending simple serial commands. Auto baud rate detection from 2400 baud to 1Mbit/sec.
- Powerful, easy to use and understand built in graphics functions allow drawing of lines, rectangles, circles, ellipses, text, images, icons, user defined bitmaps and much more…
- SPI signals (SDI, SDO, SCK) allow the module to be connected to a number of SD and MMC memory cards (from 64Mb up to 4Gb) that can store images, icons, and other graphics objects.
- Future upgrades and enhancements are easily achieved by uploading PmmC (Personality module micro Code) files. PmmC files allow the PICASO chip to be uploaded with the latest micro-Code firmware.
- System designers can incorporate the µVGA-PICASO-MD1 module directly into their application, saving space and cost. Reference designs enable the user to create a platform to incorporate the µVGA-PICASO easily.

NOTE: Usable pixels are; QVGA: 310x210, VGA: 620x420 and SVGA: 800x560. These resolutions are chosen to maximise the number of display pages from the video RAM.
