1. Introduction
OSD Click is an add-on board in mikroBUS
™
form factor. It's a compact and easy solution for
adding monochrome on-screen display (OSD)
generator to your design. It features MAX7456
single-channel monochrome OSD module with
integrated EEPROM memory as well as two
RCA sockets. OSD Click communicates with
™
target board microcontroller via mikroBUS
SPI (SDI, SDO, SCK, CS#), RST, LOS, HSYNC and
VSYNC lines. The board is designed to use 5V
power supply only. LED diode (Green) indicates
the presence of power supply.
2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board™, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left

mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™ socket. If all of the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all the way
into the socket.
