APPLICATION NOTE
R30AN0230EG0100
RZ/A1H Group
Rev.1.00
TFT Backlight Control using Motor Control PWM Timer Peripheral
16 Oct 2015
Introduction
This application note describes how to use the Motor Control PWM Timer Peripheral of the RZ/A1H microcontroller to
provide a single variable duty-cycle PWM output. In this example, the PWM output is used to dynamically adjust the
brightness of a TFT Display attached to an RSK+RZ/A1H demonstration/development board. This application note is
supported by an embedded C project, developed in the e2 studio IDE.
Target Device
RZ/A1H
When applying the sample program covered in this application note to another microcontroller, modify the program
according to the specifications for the target microcomputer and conduct an extensive evaluation of the modified
program.

    RZ/A1H Group TFT Backlight Control using Motor Control PWM Timer Peripheral Hardware Hardware Scheme The PWM signal is generated by the MCU on port 3-1 (Pin AA7). This is routed to the backlight pin of the display, pin 34 of connector CN44, via an option link on the RSK. See section 3.2.3 for details of resistor link settings required for correct sample operation.

    PWR_SEL 2-3 connected if power supplied from 5V, 1-2 connected if power supplied from 12V. Please refer to RSK+RZ/A1H User’s Manual section 2.1 for further information if required. It is essential that if a 12V supply is used that PWR_SEL is NOT linked on pins 2-3 or an overvoltage will be applied to the MCU and associated devices, resulting in likely destruction of the whole board 3.2.3...
