Chapter 1: ML605 Evaluation Board
LCD Display (16 Character x 2 Lines)
The ML605 board has a 16-character x 2-line LCD (Display Tech S162D BA BC, installed
onto J41 2x7 header) on the board to display text information. Potentiometer R270 adjusts
the contrast of the LCD. A ST2378E (U33) 2.5V-to-5V level-shifter is used to shift the
voltage level between the FPGA and the LCD. The data interface to the LCD is connected
to the FPGA to support 4-bit mode only. The LCD module has a connector that allows the
LCD to be removed from the board to access to the components below it.
Caution!
Care should be taken not to scratch or damage the surface of the LCD window.
