Introduction
The Terasic Capacitive Multi-touch LCD and Camera Module (MTLC) is an all-purpose LCD
multimedia color touch-screen for FPGA applications and provides multi-touch gesture and
single-touch support. A 5-megapixel digital image sensor, ambient light sensor, and 3-axis
accelerometer make up the rich feature-set. A HSMC cable is provided to interface with
various Terasic FPGA development boards, such as Terasic DE2-115 and TR4 development
boards through a HSMC interface on the MTLC. The kit contains complete reference designs
and source code for camera, sensing, and painter demonstrations.
Once the MTLC is connected and preconfigured with an FPGA hardware reference design
including several ready-to-run demonstration applications stored on the provided SD card,
software developers can use these reference designs as their platform to quickly architect,
develop and build complex embedded systems.
Developers can benefit from the use of FPGA-based embedded processing system such as
mitigating design risk and obsolescence, design reuse, reducing bill of material (BOM) costs
by integrating powerful graphics engines within the FPGA, and lower cost.
